Yes, she's completely unaware of what her actual constitutional duties are.

This is grotesque behavior. Joe Biden was an American president. Xi is a communist dictator, and the head of a foreign state. Our internal divisions are not fair game in this context. https://t.co/IfOs1Yyl3b

🇨🇴 Colombia has formally severed diplomatic ties with Iran

Bogotá cited national and hemispheric security, the fight against transnational crime, and links between the Iranian government and international terrorist and narcoterrorist groups.

It also pointed to retaliatory attacks on countries outside the region, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and obstruction of IAEA efforts to assess Iran’s nuclear program.

no dad, owning a successful lesbian covid conscious bar in western mass was YOUR dream. I’M going to clown school

"The plan? Create a lore so complicated and bewildering that the Western Massachusetts lesbian bar currently hemorrhaging money recoups its losses by becoming an attraction for disbelieving tourists."

It is hilarious that this question has to be prefaced with “not to sound like a right-winger”

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

I truly don't mean to sound like a reactionary right-winger, but if you genuinely hate the United States and think it's the worst most evil country on earth but you are a wealthy person with a job you can do from anywhere... why do you live there?

[Mike Coté @ratlpolicy]

This man had his entire life upended, exposed, & attacked for the simple crime of doing his American civic duty, serving on a jury, & voting the way his conscience & his view of the evidence dictated.

That is profoundly un-American. The people doing this should be shamed.

Woah, Sydney Sweeney becomes the first woman in Hollywood to capitalize on being hot. Groundbreaking stuff

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

How did Sydney Sweeney, the 29-year-old American actress of fluctuating talent, accumulate an estimated fortune of $40m? By knowing a bargain when she sees one. Bargains, that is, of the patriarchal kind – the sort the Turkish feminist Deniz Kandiyoti theorised in 1988. Her argument was that women can negotiate with patriarchal structures, rather than simply submit to or resist them. They extract what advantages they can: protection, status, money. You do not have to believe in the system, Kandiyoti writes, to make it work for you. And Sweeney has figured this out, and is flapping her $100 bills directly in our scrunched-up, reddening faces.

🚨 BREAKING: Colorado DNA analyst Yvonne “Missy” Woods sentenced to 10 years after deleting male DNA in 32 rape cases — then reporting none was found.

She spent 29 years as CBI’s star expert. Investigators now say 1,045 of her cases are tainted. Over 400 were sexual assaults. One murder conviction already tossed.

An intern caught her. Concerns were raised more than a decade earlier. She kept testing rape kits anyway.
In court, supporters packed the room. Victims shouted “LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!” as she was cuffed and led out.

Colorado is now retesting more than 1,000 cases.

Prosecutors already cut plea deals in three murder cases rather than risk her work in front of a jury.

Twenty five years ago today, a 62 year old man with cancer in his bones walked 2,687 people out of the South Tower, and then he went back inside.

Rick Rescorla was born in Hayle, Cornwall in 1939. British Parachute Regiment in Cyprus at 18. Colonial police in Northern Rhodesia. Then he came to America, enlisted in the US Army in 1963, and in November 1965 he went into the Ia Drang Valley as a platoon leader with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry.

Hal Moore called him the best platoon leader he ever saw. His men called him Hard Core. He sang to them in the dark, Wild Colonial Boy in an Australian accent, because he had worked out that men who are singing are not men who are panicking. That is Rescorla on the cover of We Were Soldiers Once and Young, bayonet fixed.

Thirty five years later he was head of security for Dean Witter, later Morgan Stanley, in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

In 1990 he brought in his old friend Dan Hill and the two of them walked the basement. He warned the Port Authority that the parking garage was wide open, that somebody could drive in a truck full of explosives, walk out and light it off. Nothing was done. Three years later the 1993 bomb went off about thirty feet from the spot he had flagged.

After that he told Morgan Stanley the towers were still a target and the next attack would come out of the sky. He wanted the firm to leave Manhattan. The lease ran to 2006, so they stayed. Twenty two floors of the South Tower, roughly 2,700 people.

So he drilled them. Every three months, everyone, no exceptions, down the stairwells two abreast while he stood there with a stopwatch. Traders pulling seven figures resented being marched down concrete stairs by a Cornishman with a clipboard. He kept doing it anyway.

8:46 a.m. The North Tower is hit. Port Authority comes over the South Tower loudspeakers and tells everyone the building is secure and to go back to their desks. Rescorla picks up a bullhorn and tells his people to get out.

He phones Dan Hill. "The dumb sons of bitches told me not to evacuate. They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people out of here."

9:03 a.m. The second plane hits the South Tower, floors 77 through 85. His people are already in the stairwells, moving exactly the way they had been drilled, and Rescorla is on the bullhorn singing to them. Cornish songs. A version of Men of Harlech he had rewritten for Cornwall. Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming, can't you see their spearpoints gleaming.

He called his wife Susan from the stairs. They had been married two and a half years, met jogging in New Jersey. He told her to stop crying, that he had to get these people out safely, and that if something happened to him he wanted her to know he had never been happier, that she made his life.

Someone told him to get out. He said, as soon as I make sure everyone else is out.

2,687 Morgan Stanley employees went home that day. Thirteen did not, and four of those were Rescorla and the men who stayed in the building with him: Wesley Mercer, Jorge Velazquez, Godwin Forde.

He was last seen on the 10th floor, walking up.

The South Tower fell at 9:59. They never found him.
