The Republican Party is now officially a cult. Whatever Dear Leader says, goes. They've ousted the last person who stood on the stated principles of the party.

@mboudry @holland_tom There are multiple periods in Christian history where religious leaders tried to build what we would now understand as communism. Criticism of private property is pretty consistent since the early church.

An astronaut on artemis got emotional naming a crater on the moon after his late wife and the others comforted him ❤️‍🩹

I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭

During Artemis II’s historic lunar flyby, the crew paused their live observations of the Moon to propose naming a bright crater “Carroll,” honoring commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife, who passed away from cancer in 2020.

The moment unfolded as the crew made their way around the Moon on a journey meant to bring them safely back to Earth, a test flight laying the groundwork for humanity’s return to the lunar surface, turning a routine part of the mission into something deeply personal in real time.

Hope can break through in unexpected times and in the unexpected ways. The character of the Artemis crew, the excellence of the team at NASA, the joy from all sides of the political spectrum. This is why nations should attempt great things, and put great people at the helm.

Hayek’s 1960 essay “Why I am Not a Conservative” is must-reading these days. Particularly his warnings against the association between conservatism and nationalism.

@Holden_Culotta This is so dumb. You can look through the emails yourselves. Over many years you can see there are just a number of emails about meeting at well known pizza places in Harlem or recommending them to friends. Let's not focus on the craziest things possible but the real issues.

@paramountplus Its not working on Samsung TV. Just a blue screen.

[Roger Pattison @pattison_roger]

@paramountplus your app does not work on Samsung TVs. Can't watch UFC 324 except on my phone.

@marcthiessen Just because other presidents did it doesn't make it Constitutional. Congress is just a bunch of empty suits who have never reasserted their Article 1 duties and authority. Also for the indictment is for cocaine...give me a break.

[The Alex Nowrasteh @AlexNowrasteh]

This justification for military action is circular. It's hard to think of what military operation this reasoning wouldn't justify.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

By this standard the president could invade any country in the world where a national is indicted by his own executive branch. There is no narco terrorism clause that strips Congress of the war power and gives it to POTUS.

[Roger Pattison @pattison_roger]

@RichardHanania You miss the argument that one person overthrowing another government on false pretenses with zero Constitutional checks is the type of tyranny our Founders sought to avoid and for good reason.

[Roger Pattison @pattison_roger]

@RichardHanania Giving one man the power to overthrow any government he wants under false pretenses is tyranny. We have a Constitution and Separation of Powers for a reason.

[Roger Pattison @pattison_roger]

@RogerSeverino_ @WSJ @Heritage Maybe I'm not understanding but it sounds like you won't sacrifice your collectivist, nationalist ideals for your organization's stated individual-rights/freedom-oriented original principles.

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

Late last night, I received a final Christmas gift: official notification from the PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs that I, Palmer Luckey (Male), have been personally sanctioned as a dangerous actor.

I want to thank my family, my team, and my Lord Jesus Christ for this award. Anduril has been sanctioned for a while now, as have many of my peers, but it means so much to finally have my non-existent Chinese assets seized and repurposed. The sanctions also prohibit all Chinese nationals from engaging with me in any way, which should really clear up my social media feeds.

Merry Christmas!

@coldxman You seem open minded on military interventionism so what do you think about the US attacking boats in the Caribbean without due process or a declaration of war from Congress?
