Had some time this week to polish my memo up. I'm not a lawyer, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express, but the more I read and think about this, the more convinced I am that this opinion is a grotesque and shameful display of professional misconduct. drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@EricDaMAJ @CynicalPublius College was an indicator of class in the 19th century, it didn’t qualify the men. College as a qualification wouldn’t become a thing until after managerial revolution. Google that.

@CynicalPublius The "officers are officers because they're college educated" is a 19th century idea. A valid distinction then but not now. Today it's relatively easy to find Specialists and Sergeants with B.A.s; even graduate degrees. Or Warrant Officers with multiple degrees.

I was an Army colonel. I would have traded it all to be a First Sergeant of a Company in the 82nd. People may view being an officer as being more prestigious, but it is my belief that being a senior NCO is far more satisfying given how closely you lead soldiers.

This is an example of what I mean when I say the right isn't conservative any longer. It's statist and authoritarian. And when you start collecting authoritarians, you quickly learn that they might see you as an enemy as well, or perhaps even worse ... a subject.

Pete Hegseth's pastor, Doug Wilson, says here that, in an ideal society, processions in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary would be banned, along with eucharistic processions. Hegseth recently invited him to D.C. to talk to his troops.

@jaynordlinger Term limits likely wouldn't end the phenomenon, as there are many considerations outside of elections and party membership (post-term employment, social connections, etc.)

@jaynordlinger If you're in the game, you have to play the game. First principle of politics, perhaps: All political behavior has a purpose, and both electoral and party systems create powerful incentives that prioritize strategic behavior.

I used to look forward to getting my copy of ⁦@ScienceMagazine⁩ in the mail. Ugh. What a disaster for our country, and for our national security. In the 20th century we became a great nation because of our research universities and govt commitment to science…and now this

Honest questions for #attorneys and #legal #Ethics specialists: Do @AGPamBondi's statements about “liberal activist judges” obstructing Trump’s agenda violate Model Rule 8.2 or its Florida equivalent?

Welfare fraud should always be taken seriously, but the right’s characterization of it as an immigrant problem is completely off-base — US citizens account for 95% of fraud losses. cc: @CatoInstitute

The Alabama Republican Party’s Steering Committee opted not to advance residency challenges filed against two statewide GOP candidates, and a lawsuit could soon be filed to further the fight. lagniappemobile.com/news/mcfeeters…

URGENT ACTION NEEDED NOW! If these bills pass, they would weaken the state's ability to implement the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act. SB 71 could be on the floor as soon as THIS WEEK. Tell your Senators to vote NO on SB 71: alabamarivers.salsalabs.org/sb71-hb162/ind…

Horrible. This is a remarkably irresponsible statement. It is vile to cast such remarkably negative aspersions on a dead man in the absence of evidence. Lawful concealed carry (police have said he had a carry permit) is not evidence of a desire to commit mass murder.

College football probably hasn’t been “college football” since sometime between the late 70’s or early 80’s. This is a culmination of an process reaching its logical conclusion, not an aberration.
Danny@Beavlieve

My problem is college football took over my heart in 2000 when I was 9, but this isn’t college football. It is pro football on college campuses. The game used to be fun, now it’s “Do you have a billionaire alum who gives a 💩 about you?”
