This look at COP30 quotes Matthew Huber's Bulletin piece on what would happen if Earth became too hot for animals.
"In the United States, just 3 degrees Celsius of warming conditions in simulations tend to be hotter—when humidity is factored in—than heat waves in North Africa today."

Steve Bannon Was Planning to Produce a Pro-Epstein Documentary — On the Day of Financier’s Arrest
Steve Bannon Was Planning to Produce a Pro-Epstein Documentary — On the Day of Financier’s Arrest
The day of his arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, Jeffrey Epstein was planning a documentary to rehabilitate his image, and to counter the soon-to-be-released Netflix documentary Filthy Rich, a trove of newly released emails reveals. His partner in the project? Former Trump chief of staff, Steve Bannon, who subsequently emerged as one of Epstein’s staunchest critics after his death.

Obviously Trump hasn’t helped himself with the tariffs but fundamentally people want the price level to come down and the only clear way for a president to do that is engineer a recession (which he may very well do!)
Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll:
Overall econ approval: 36-64
On tariffs: 37-63
On inflation/cost of living: 28-72 (!!!)
