Remember when I said Iran has *two* navies—only one of which matters strategically—and couldn't believe media wasn't challenging Trump's claim to have "destroyed Iran's Navy" when only the lesser part was sunk?

There are probably a few things that should get you banned from Hollywood forever but one of them is definitely writing or in any way being involved in a movie in which a dog dies
I don't know what we have to do to make clear to Hollywood that no one anywhere wants to see movies in which a dog dies

I don’t like conspiracy theories but I’ve always wondered about this alleged assassination attempt. Especially the ear discrepancy. Was Trump smart enough to pull this off? Was Stephen Miller involved in the planning?

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

I got it. Fuck...I got it. I was trained as a criminal investigator at Georgetown and Harvard, worked as a federal criminal investigator in DC, practiced Criminal Law—including sex crimes and homicides—for years, and was sure if I dedicated myself I’d figure out what Trump is hiding. And now I have.

New in PN: Trump claims to be the arbiter of Jewish identity
"Trump is not fighting for Jewish people; he is not the defender of Jewish people. He is a fascist bigot. He’s coming for leftists, for Palestinians, and for Jewish people first. There’s a poem about where that ends."
