457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment. This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Driving up E st onto I-66 in D.C. last night and was confronted by the enormous abhorrence of an additional name on our beloved Kennedy Center. Despite media rhetoric it jarred the soul to actually see it. 😢

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process. Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued: newrepublic.com/article/1961...

this antivax stuff is genuinely bewildering. like what do you mean you don’t know if vaccines are safe? why exactly do you think child mortality rates have plummeted since the beginning of the 20th century? why is it that you are not worried about getting polio or smallpox anymore?

the university may have permanently harmed its relationship with a preeminent student organization all to satisfy a deranged and powerful donor who has contributed almost nothing of value to the community www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2024...
