The Atlantic: Trump fired top lawyers to gain total control
Paul Rosenzweig labelled President Donald Trump’s firing of top military lawyers as “firing the military’s conscience.” Rosenzweig implied that Trump et al. may have read one of Shakespeare’s stories.

Saturday silliness
I remember Dave King, the lead singer for Irish punk band Flogging Molly, thanking the Pope for all the song inspirations he had given them.
