"Could the government ban baptisms as long as Christians have 'virtually unlimited access' to water? Or could the State ban Lord's Day services because the church is empty six days a week? These are judgment calls we simply do not make." reason.com/volokh/2026/...

the problem with Markwayne Mullin is not that he doesn’t have a college degree, or that he worked in plumbing, or that he has a compound first name

Happy Friday! Enjoy my piece about how Kristi Noem was disposable to Trump, despite being the saddest booklicker in his Cabinet.
You can destroy your face to please MAGA, ladies, but it doesn't matter. You're still a woman and they don't respect you.

New in PN: "At a time when it’s tempting to believe nothing matters, Noem's ouster provides reassurance there still can be consequences for abusing power, harming people, and corrupt self-dealing."
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.
US Employers Unexpectedly Cut Jobs, Unemployment Rises February data call labor market stabilization narrative into question
Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters
Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either
When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them
