"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!"
A Sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier yells after laughter could be heard from a group near Secretary Hegseth, who was taking posed photographs at the site.

The Republican Party didnt lack people who understand the dangers of making Trump the organizing principle of conservatism
It lacked enough influential people willing to act on that understanding when doing so carried political costs
Our failure of conservative leadership goes across three successive political moments:
2024: opportunity to build an alternative
2025: failure of those who knew better to step forward and build one
2026: The consequences of that cowardice becoming impossible to ignore
It isn’t that nobody saw it coming, those who paid any attention to me know it’s not hard to.
It’s that too many people who did decided their own political futures were more important than conservatism’s
So now, with the political winds shifting as they always do, those same people are suddenly scrambling to lead the movement they lacked the courage to defend when it mattered
Just an observation, because it’s not that they’ve suddenly found principles, they’ve just found a more favorable political climate to pretend they’d had them the whole time.

Students who are “conscientious objectors” to AI are falling behind those who use it to write essays in a matter of minutes, the university regulator for England has said.
@SophyRidgeSky and @WilfredFrost discuss what can be done to tackle the issue and whether those who don’t use AI will be better prepared for the real world.

NEW: Remember Aliya Rahman, the Minneapolis resident whose image went viral earlier this year after ICE agents violently dragged her out of her car as she was driving to a doctor’s appointment?
Today, she sued the U.S. government. huffpost.com/entry/aliya-rah…

You could be more direct and just ban credit cards.
Let’s cap credit card rates at 10%. Take action on affordable housing. Protect rural hospitals. End price gouging.
Democrats have the bills ready.
@SenWarren says now it’s up to Trump to work with us and get things done.

Judging from the timeline, they spent somewhere between 20-30% of that $1m on an agency that vibe-coded a launch video then paid meme accounts $10k each to quote tweet the post with some 20223-era meme.
Can we stop with these subpar paid launch campaigns? It's just timeline pollution.
We raised $1M from YC & Afore to leave Goldman Sachs & build an agent that trades for you.
The top 1% gets a “money guy.”
Today we’re introducing Volaren so you can have one too.
Volaren is designed to plug into your brokerage accounts and explain why your portfolio moved, suggest what to do next, and trade it for you.
• Web, app, or text message
• Copy trade top investors/politicians
• Deep financial analysis
• Agents that reason like humans to trade your best ideas
Try it now:
volaren.com
Investing involves risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results. For informational purposes only, not a recommendation or investment advice. Other fees may apply, please review Volaren’s website and disclosures in full.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The announcement frames the founders as leaving jobs at Goldman Sachs after raising funds, but their prior post states the Goldman roles were summer internships before they incorporated; Volaren is in early beta on a waitlist with mostly simulated features.

Obviously Pete Hegseth getting impeached is about Pete Hegseth. The American people are demanding accountability.

Collaborating with a fascist on immigration policy? They campaign on people like Miller being existential threats, but then collaborate with them. They ARE external threats, just not to elected Dems.
Gov. Wes Moore said Dems should work toward bipartisan deals, including on immigration, with Stephen Miller — despite the “well of distrust” he holds for the new White House chief of staff.👇
“I will work with anybody, I will bow to nobody,” he told us.

[Every tech guy who bought MAGA at the top]:
"Oh so now it's a crime to have an affair with a Chinese spy who is also the CEO of company that's evading export controls while you also lobby the US government to go soft on evasion and weaken the controls?"

Louisiana has been among the states most affected by President Trump’s surge in ICE detentions. wwltv.com/article/news/polit…

And after that meeting, Stephen Miller killed the deal completely. He remains in control over all immigration policy today, and is the single biggest obstacle to the President making a deal.

in a famous 2018 meeting with Dems, Trump specifically floated doing DACA. Said he would sign it right then and there. Feinstein was floored. McCarthy was appalled. Now Mullin is saying this could be on the table.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says there will be no "amnesty."
BUT, he says Congress "can look at DACA and figure out a way that these individuals can become maybe legal permanent citizens or something like this."

Massie said people keep defending Hegseth by saying he’s good at his job. "The reality is we’re not indicting him for being bad at his job. In fact he was very effective at killing school children in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There’s no argument in these impeachment articles that he’s ineffective,” said @RepThomasMassie, who introduced eight articles of impeachment.
.@SecRubio on Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introducing a measure to impeach Secretary Pete Hegseth: "I think it's unfair... I think Pete's done a good job, I really do."
