About 45 minutes after the men had been thrown into the water, a second missile screamed down on Bradley's order, killing them. Two more missiles followed in rapid succession, sinking the remnants of the boat.

Forever wars and collapsable regimes - Lawyers, Guns & Money Seva Gunitsky points out that Russia’s war on Ukraine has now lasted longer than World War I, which was a conflict that was just a bit "disruptive," as the MBAs say, to a previous Russian regime ... Trump, like Putin, is now in a war that he can't get out of, because the costs of stopping it are too high -- as may well be the costs of continuing it, but as Gunitsky points out, that's how the war trap works. It couldn’t happen to a nicer pair of tyrants, and I can only hope they bunk together in hell, someday soon.

This Day in Labor History: June 7, 1912 - Lawyers, Guns & Money On, June 7, 1912, Boston Elevated Railway workers called a strike. But the company had a secret force-Harvard students. Harvard men were more than happy to be hired thugs to break this strike in an act of class solidarity we rarely see from the working classes. This is a good chance to talk about the strikebreaking college student of the early 20th century ... Wellesley students particularly challenged the Harvard, as well as Yale, students who came up to strikebreak. Wellesley students raised over $1,000 to support the strikers and wore buttons proclaiming their support of a boycott. And lest you think that these women's college students were some sort of radicals, in 1911, the students at Wellesley-considered the most liberal of the women’s colleges-voted down support for suffrage by a 2-1 margin.
Packwood - Lawyers, Guns & Money Bob Packwood is dead. While his name became a joke of 1990s politics due to his serial sexual harassment and his resignation from the Senate due to that behavior, he is actually a far more interesting character than that and a man who represents what the Republican Party could be at one time, which was not in fact always terrible, despite the fact that he personally was an awful guy ... Only two Republicans voted against Clarence Thomas’ nomination to the Supreme Court in 1991 and Packwood was one, based on Thomas’ anti-abortion stance ... It is somewhat fascinating that Packwood was the one who would go down for horrible behavior toward women. Not that it wasn’t deserved, the guy was an absolutely creep and lech.

And it's a particularly strange takeaway from the 2024 election, given that had the white male incumbent stayed in the race the Democrats probably would have lost Virginia and New Jersey in the electoral college and every swing Senate race.

Overall, this looks like a turning point in the war. If the Russians fail to achieve any results, everything will begin to crumble in some places.

LGM helps write a book - Lawyers, Guns & Money I'm struck by one fairly obvious and quite troubling question: if Donald Trump is a comprehensive example of human stupidity in so many of its multifarious forms, how has he managed to be elected president of the United States twice, while exploiting that office to embezzle the multi-billion dollar fortune that, ironically, his most devoted followers believed he already possessed, and that was the most commonly cited reason for voting for this preposterous figure? ... Which, again, raises a pointed question: Can a man who is this successful at stealing billions of dollars of public and private money be said to possess at least one extraordinary cognitive gift? ... His genius, such as it is, was to grasp fairly early on in life that consequences were for other people. That he managed to transform that insight into an entire political movement says more about the depravity of his followers than it does about his supposedly savantic gifts.

Opinion | Mark Zuckerberg Is Running Meta Into the Ground - The New York Times There is a moment when internet companies get the stink of death on them. For AOL, it was 2003, when it became clear that its users were abandoning its clunky dial-up internet service for far-faster broadband. For Yahoo, it was 2015, when their last-ditch acquisition spree failed, and they sold themselves to Verizon. For Meta, that time is now. I believe the company - one of the most powerful media organizations in the world and one of the most valuable members of the S&P 500 - is at the start of a long, slow decline that will trigger aftershocks to our economy and our society.
This Day in Labor History: May 8, 1863 - Lawyers, Guns & Money On May 8, 1863, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen was founded at a meeting in Marshall, Michigan. Today, the Engineers are one of the oldest unions in the country. Telling their story gets at many of the limitations of the American labor movement ... Safety wasn't even an afterthought on the early trains. The entire justification for contract doctrine came out of the railroads-it was up to the worker whether they wanted to labor in such dangerous conditions and if they were paid more, well that was the compensation. So employers had no responsibility to ensure workers didn't die. And railroad workers died all the time. ...The Locomotive Engineers merged with the Teamsters in 2004. I am sure its leaders are behind Sean O'Brien's love of Trump today
Cannibalism and the common law - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... After three weeks at sea with almost no food or water, two of the sailors, Dudley and Stephens, began discussing whether the crew should draw lots, the loser to be killed and eaten - also his blood would be drunk for hydration, which was even more critical for survival in such circumstances ... Legally speaking the case stands for the proposition that necessity isn't a defense to murder simply because a homicide is necessary to preseve the life of the killer ... a similar scene in Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, which is a bizarre book even by Poe's standards, which is saying something.

Ted Turner RIP - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Mr. Turner announced in 2018 that he had Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disorder. Mr. Turner's signature creation was CNN - the Cable News Network - which revolutionized television news in 1980 by presenting it all hours of the day and eventually inspiring other media operations to follow suit. But his portfolio of business ventures bulged with much more, and their impact on American culture was considerable.
Colorize This Obituary - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Ted Turner is dead. Although not much in the news for the past two decades, Turner played an outsized role in creating twenty-first century America. He wasn't the worst billionaire ever, not by a long shot. But he was also very very billionaire. He also played an enormous role in shaping late twentieth century America through his media empire that transformed the reporting of news in the United States, and not really for the better. CNN, like all 24 hour media, is a curse upon the world ... He became famous again for marrying Jane Fonda in 1991 and they were a celebrity couple for the next decade. But when they divorced in 2001, one of the reasons was Ted's disgust over Fonda's conversion to Christianity. I mean, c'mon Ted.

Black Detroit was 7.7 percent of the population in 1930, but 37.6 percent of the tuberculosis deaths. Crowding and unsanitary conditions were the cause for all of this, though public health officials wanted to racialize it all and just say that black people were inherently more disease ridden.

There's no exhausted aide standing between the President and the nuclear football or sane adult willing to absorb the blow of a spitting, red-faced tirade before it becomes official policy. Trump's behaviour this week proved what happens when slip-of-the-tongue, genocidal ideation has no filter.

The World Has Stopped Waiting for America to Come to Its Senses As Trump diminishes our influence, the rest of the world is moving on without us. When Joe Biden took office in 2021, America's allies were willing-eager, even-to treat the first Trump presidency as an aberration.

They extended the benefit of the doubt because they believed the United States still carried an instinct for democratic renewal, a belief that the country could right itself. That ship has sailed.

"Little this and that... Any time I want it to end, it will end," he said.

Robert Kuttner has a long piece on this at the American Prospect: ... under Jonathan Greenblatt, whose tenure as CEO since 2015 coincides with the rapacious behavior and growing global isolation of Israel, the Zionist mission has increasingly crowded out the domestic one and impeached the ADL's own credibility.

Troops Being Told To Prepare for 'Armageddon' In Iran : politics - For some U.S. military commanders, the emerging war in Iran is part of a biblical plan to bring about the end of the world as we know it, according to complaints filed by over 100 service members ...

Military Leaders Say Iran War Is So Trump Can Bring About "Armageddon" : politics - Without any clear message coming from the White House with regard to the purpose of the Iran war, U.S. military commanders have turned to Jesus, apparently telling American troops that the war is "biblically sanctioned." [the] commander had "urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ."
Liars, lunatics, and the Iran war - Lawyers, Guns & Money - He said, "Any military members seeking to take advantage of their subordinates by advancing their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this latest non-Congressionally sanctioned attack against Iran, should be swiftly, aggressively and visibly prosecuted."

By the early 1990s, only 19 percent of Americans were mainline Protestants. By 2022, the figure had dropped to 9 percent ... While a third of Presbyterian Church (USA) members are over 70 years of age, only 4 percent are children under 18. Time is not on the side of mainline churches ... Among those ordained in 2020 or later, 84 percent of the newest priests consider themselves conservative (14 percent middle of the road and just 2 percent progressive) ... there are huge geographic swaths of America where the only place a Protestant can worship on a Sunday morning is an evangelical church that takes a literalist view of the Bible and believes that women have no role in spiritual leadership.

After years of economic interventions by the Trump and Biden administrations, fewer Americans work in manufacturing than any point since the pandemic ended ...

What We Learned After Tracking Every Lawsuit Challenging Trump's Policies - The New York Times President Trump's agenda faced more than 600 lawsuits over the past year. In many cases, district court judges found his policies to be unlawful ... The volume and stakes of the litigation have put an unusually bright spotlight on the often unheralded work of district court judges. Normally, the 677 active-status judges toil at the bottom rung of the federal judiciary. Today, they are on the front lines of a clash between two branches of government ... Much of that support at the appellate level came from judges whom Mr. Trump appointed during his first term. In 2025, they voted in his favor 92 percent of the time.

The New Fugitive Slave Act - Lawyers, Guns & Money Jelani Cobb makes a really good historical analogy here between the Fugitive Slave Act and ICE actions today ... The very small number of slaves escaping to the North did not have that great of an economic impact on the South, though of course it might on the individual owner. But the idea was so outrageous to the South that it militarized the nation to get slaves back. Actually seeing people rounded up and thrown into prison and returned to slavery, now that angered the North. People didn't care if they didn't have to see it, but if they did? That's a whole different story. So after the kidnapping of Anthony Burns and the near violent revolt that accompanied it, the Fugitive Slave Act was effectively unenforceable in Boston .. the South consistently overreached and overreacted and if they hadn't, slavery would have lasted for a long time, since in 1861, it was incredibly profitable and the number of white Americans who really wanted abolition was small ... Given that the Trump administration's heroes include the lead figures of the Slave Power, it's unsurprising that they would follow the same path of massive overreaction that politicizes huge swaths of once indifferent people who don't want to see fascists kidnap people on the street and kill those who don't like that.

For the first time in 50 years, college grads are losing their edge - For nearly 50 years, research has shown that having a bachelor's degree or higher led to better employment prospects, from higher pay to greater job security. Now, with the stability of white-collar work in question as U.S. companies embrace artificial intelligence, federal data suggests that's beginning to change. The unemployment gap between workers with bachelor's degrees and those with occupational associate's degrees - such as plumbers, electricians and pipe fitters - flipped in 2025, leaving trade workers with a slight edge for six months out of the past year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's the first time trade workers have had a leg up since the BLS started tracking this data in the 1990s.

Erik Visits an American Grave, Part 2,069 - Lawyers, Guns & Money This is the grave of Albert Sabin. Born in Białystok, Poland in 1906 (it was then part of Russia), Abram Saperstejn was among the last Jewish refugees to get out of Europe before the United States disgustingly closed its doors to such immigrants with the 1924 Immigration Act ... He became one of the key people working to find a solution to polio, ripping through the nation's young people in these years and, very occasionally, adults such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt ... The oral vaccine was the real gamechanger in the fight against polio ... Sabin ran a giant clinical trial in the Cincinnati public schools. Of course it worked on our good American children too, many of which are now at the perfect age to be rejecting vaccinations and rooting for Donald Trump and RFK Jr to destroy the vaccination system that saved their own lives. What a great country we have ... For all the Salk vaccine pioneered the end of this horrible, awful disease, it was Sabin's vaccine that became the standard ... Oh, and one other thing. Sabin refused to patent his vaccine. He didn't do this for the money. He did it to save lives. There's a principle missing from our entire health care system today. Or the whole world for that matter ... I assume that RFK and the Trump administration will be making polio great again in the next three years and the work of Sabin, Salk, and others will be erased. I hear raw milk is a great cure for polio.

Monsters - Paul Krugman - And their enablers are accessories to murder - It has been clear for a long time, to anyone willing to see, that the people running the federal government - Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more - are monsters. It has been equally obvious that ICE and the Border Patrol are now filled with sadistic thugs. Yet many people - almost the entire GOP, everyone serving in the Trump administration, some Democrats, a significant part of the media - were too cowardly to admit the obvious.

The paper of record's record - Lawyers, Guns & Money Is actually very good. The headline, "Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old Minneapolis Man," avoids the "Clash between Federal Agents and Armed Man Results in Death" standard model.
