The consequences of gerontocracy.

Earlier this week I wrote for @theatlantic about how DOGE cuts are impacting the U.S. forecasting and alert system and creating a new menace. Time is the one commodity that can't be wasted in a disaster. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I just don't understand how any person who wants to be taken as serious or nuanced about the Palestinians can write or say "murder is horrible" and then continue with a "but." You sound stupid, at best. One can acknowledge the geopolitics without a "but."

Belgian Princess Elisabeth, who is first in line to the throne, is waiting to find out whether she can return to Harvard for her second year after President Trump announced a ban on international students at the university. trib.al/iGf0IoF

sorry do I have this right? This is the moment the Trump administration has chosen to make the Leo Frank truther--the most famous American blood libel--the top spokesman at the Pentagon? Bat-guano if true, and certainly appears to be true (verified DoD account):
