Setting aside the black-letter legal issues (I'm certainly not an expert on victim impact statements or evidence law), this is absolutely BONKERS.

Brilliant.

In honor of Gene Hackman, did the U.S. ever get close to a Crimson Tide-style scenario (a commander was hellbent on launching and came *this close* to doing it)?

Gov. Greg Abbott backs bill banning 'non-human' behavior in schools The bill is based on debunked claims that public schools were encouraging so-called furries. Lawmakers have used the claims to funnel public funds to private schools.

Exhibit #7,682 that we're living in the absolute dumbest timeline: "'Non-Human Behavior' . . . includ[es] . . . using a litter box for the passing of stool, urine, or other human byproducts."

Great thread by Professor Kathleen Clark. I'll say it again for the people in the back: what's happening at the FAA makes Teapot Dome look like stealing office supplies.

I think the call might be coming from inside the house.

Proud to be a Hoya today.

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Elon Musk’s Open Corruption Revealed in New FAA Plans The Federal Aviation Administration is now going after one of Starlink’s main competitors.

To quantify the *alleged* corruption here by comparing it to, oh I don't know, the most generous sum total of all the bribes and kickbacks that exchanged hands during the Teapot Dome Scandal (adjusted for inflation, of course!), this would be 254x more corrupt than the Teapot Dome Scandal.

President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price...

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018 (2/2)

The tweet's in several other articles about the same story:

Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. (1/2)

Trump blasts 'Putin, Russia, Iran' for backing 'Animal Assad' after alleged Syria chemical attack Dozens of people reportedly died in Syria's alleged chemical attack Saturday.

No, it just didn't include the text of the tweet. It's in this article: abcnews.go.com/Politics/whi...

The key line is "President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad."

Trump uncharacteristically slams Putin after reports of Syria attack The tweets and alleged attack in Syria sparked responses from lawmakers in both parties.
