Yeah, and the judge gave trump 28 days to file again with a much shorter, and very much to the point brief.

I wonder how much Elon regrets that one tweet.

I'll give Miller this one. This is something that needed to happen.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.
The study, which was conducted by the National Institute of Justice and hosted on a DOJ website was available there at least until September 12, 2025, according to an archive of the page saved by the Wayback Machine. Daniel Malmer, a PhD student studying online extremism at UNC-Chapel Hill, first noticed the paper was deleted.
“The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs is currently reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent Executive Orders and related guidance,” reads a message on the page where the study was formerly hosted. “During this review, some pages and publications will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Shortly after Donald Trump took office he issued an executive order that forced government agencies to scrub their sites of any mention of “diversity,” “gender,” “DEI,” and other “forbidden words” and perceived notions of “wokeness.” The executive order impacted every government agency, including NASA, and was a huge waste of engineers’ time.
We don’t know why the study about far-right extremist violence was removed recently, but it comes immediately after the assassination of conservative personality Charlie Kirk, accusations from the administration that the left is responsible for most of the political violence in the country, and a renewed commitment from the administration to crack down on the “radical left.”

Republicans have two main responses to problems they caused. If they can't find someone to blame, they put their fingers in their ears and pretend it's not happening.

I wonder if there were people in the 1800s claiming Disraeli wanted to force England to go kosher.

Wasn't sure whether to put this in the Ukraine thread or here, but this seems very unusual and somewhat suspicious. It might have something to do with NATO ramping up it's rhetoric towards Russia (threatening to start shooting down anything Russian that invades members airspace). On the other hand, I find the timing suspicious what with the looming (and quite possible) government shut down, I don't really trust anything that Trump may be planning to do with the military.

It's the next step in the fascist playbook: they're going to fire as many of the generals and admirals as they can and consolidate that power under lackeys and lickspittles they control.

Only upshot is that yes-men generally make for poor leadership and will cripple the effectiveness of the US military.

hegseth already did that, this makes it harder to come back from that. The question is: who is going to take advantage.
