Alito won't retire in the lame duck and he doesn't need to. Trump can nominate someone to the Supreme Court and the senate can confirm without a vacancy. Then Trump can wait to sign the commission any time in the next two years. The question isn't Alito, its Cornyn/Tillis/Thune.

Here’s the real question: Why don’t you turn on Starlink over Russia so the Ukrainians can take out Russian ballistic missile launchers? One small action and you immediately save children from dying every day. Refusing to do so is like watching your friend die while you hold his EpiPen over him. It’s that simple.
Replying to @zerohedge
I agree, time for Ukraine to get a new leader

A lot of people are jeering at Nikole Hannah-Jones, but it takes guts to (very) publicly admit you messed up. My personal views aside, I don't want to live in a world where people are shamed for admitting they were wrong.

"no carefully scripted statements," he read from the teleprompter
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the @WNBA task force, I am now speaking directly to you. I’m going to keep this short and sweet, so open your ears and listen carefully. I would like to offer you a peace summit, moderated by my friend @Caitlyn_Jenner. I’ve already spoken with her, and she’s in. I’m not a troublemaker. I’m more of a peacemaker. Listen, The whole world is laughing at you. You have turned the #WNBA into a laughingstock. It’s time to stop hiding behind closed-door meetings, excuses, and delays and finally give the public a clear answer. Let’s have the peace summit. No shouting. No hiding. No carefully scripted statements. Let’s sit across the table from each other, have an open and respectful conversation, and address the questions millions of people are asking. Let’s put everything on the table and let the public hear both sides. If you truly believe in your position, you should have no problem defending it publicly. So, Commissioner Engelbert and the WNBA task force, the invitation is officially on the table. Name the time. Name the place. Let’s talk. Are you in?

Tweeting a slomo video of yourself while somebody calls you "an incredible champion" is narcissism of the highest order. Which appears to be sole reason for MAHA--to promote Kennedy, win him adulation from some corners, and keep him topical and on the podcast circuit. He doesn't seem to care the slightest about anyone's actual health, and will gleefully lie about all manner of issues, to detriment of others' health, if it keeps attention on him.
Two years ago today, President Trump and I promised we would Make America Healthy Again. Now, just 19 months into the Trump administration, HHS has delivered the most sweeping public health reforms in modern history. See Big Wins here: hhs.gov/promisesmade-promise…

“Okay I drew two Dalmatians. Are we set?” “Brother, not even close.”
this was behind the scenes of '101 dalmatians' in 1961

Despite some bogus grants, a lot of government is like this cartoon. I bet this "small team" would find a line item for "screwworm sterilization" and delete it, not knowing that they just devastated American farming: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

A few ancient airframes: ±$100 million Reminding your troops and the entire world that “no man left behind” isn’t just a slogan, and that you can do things nobody else can even dream of: priceless.
Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

Things you say when you definitely spend a lot of time around your kids
Replying to @JessePeltan
My son, Saxon, is so based that he would just order milk when we went to dinner in LA. This would always stun the waitstaff, as they had never heard anyone actually order milk! He also unironically ordered a cheeseburger at a very uptight sushi restaurant that doesn’t even allow you to order supplemental soy sauce. When the waiter recovered from this request to reply that they don’t have cheeseburgers, Saxon said “Fine, I will have a hamburger.”

Elon, Andreesen, Sacks, Ackman, Chamath, Vivek, on and on, I remember when for all these guys it was critical to elect Trump because our national debt was a crisis and existential threat to the future of America only he would tackle. Don’t hear so much about that anymore.

There’s an endless amount of this slop, much of it AI, from foreign accounts pretending to be American. Wish @nikitabier would nuke it.

I generally think billionaire businesspeople are very smart and that it’s cope when people on the left act like their success was arbitrary. But I make an exception for Bill Ackman.

If it can be programmed to make you want to have babies, it can be programmed to make you want or feel anything else its programmers desire. Seems like that’s a concern worth taking seriously.
AI is obviously gonna one-shot the human limbic system. That said, I predict – counter-intuitively – that it will *increase* the birth rate! Mark my words. Also, we’re gonna program it that way.

Has anyone compared the 90-day pause “art of the deal” it was just a negotiating ploy to Kyiv was a feint? Some interesting parallels….
