Any luck fixing the video playback issue? When I search for fixes online, I see a lot about turning off VPN and ad blockers. I tried that with my VPN no help. For the life of me I can't find an ad blocker on my phone.

Depraved.

In case people don't know this, this is standard practice in jails across the country (lights on in suicide watch cells 24/7...I know this from personal experience).

It is awful, but for EVERYONE who gets put in suicide watch

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

IMO there is a judicial crisis, but @jadler1969.bsky.social's criticism of the NY Times piece on the subject is correct: Their reporting doesn't show what they claim it shows b/c the sample of judges they interviewed was biased, for the detailed reasons he lays out.

BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story.
www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

More than 1,000 CDC staff receive layoff notices during government shutdown

Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Your numbers inspire me to blow a little sunshine
Since election 32% has declined a bit.
Enough for a victory in '28? Maybe.
However, the "31ish" number has ballooned! (fact).
The left would win a gen election today.
They'll cheat but if we're informed and organized cautious optimism warranted.
