"Vietnam has been hit by 14 typhoons this year. Five was the average a few decades ago. The rain from the past few days did not even come from a cyclone — but to add inundation on top of injury, a 15th major storm has just formed off the country’s south central coast."

Democrats caving on ACA Marketplace subsidies looks even worse once you remember the Biden administration pushed millions from Medicaid into the Marketplace, promising affordable coverage.

"Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out" is a pretty wild statement. Republicans currently have a 6-seat advantage in the House.
PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:

Again, I think Nicholas' point is totally reasonable and necessary to consider. But even being able to discuss a "plan" for another country is really crazy and we basically shrug at it. We should not ever get to have plans for other countries.

No shade at Nicholas here, but it's wild to live in the heart of empire because you get to causally speculate about what another country's direction should be after you overthrow its government
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

My politics tell me that the powerful decision makers are to blame and not regular people. Every poll of Israeli public opinion tests that principle.
60%+ of Israelis surveyed don't thing the abuses of Palestinian prisoners should be investigated.
84% say the IDF should get an excellent or very good grade for *moral conduct*.
62.5% say a 'terrorist' should be murdered even if they don't pose a threat.

There is a war for control of the Republican Party. On one side of the war is Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, MTG, Nick Fuentes, JD Vance, and on the other is .... who? Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham? Like be for real. It's clear where this is headed.

Democrats continue to operate as if Republicans are a normally functioning political party. This is stupid in the present, but it’s also short sighted. To the extent that the Trump fever is breaking on the right, it’s towards getting MORE white nationalist and illiberal, not less

He has been giving the same answer for months but he's asked about it every interview. These questions aren't being asked to inform the public. They exist to continually suggest to viewers that Mamdani secretly hates Jews.

Really annoying to see a bunch of articles and commentators be like "DOGE failed miserably in its purpose." No, it didn't!!! You have fallen for the con. Its purpose was to steal massive troves of data and dismantle institutions that Elon Musk didn't like. It was a tremendous success.

We have all normalized it at this point because it never stops, but it is fucking psychotic that the mayor elect of New York City who has never said an anti-Semitic thing in his life has to answer "what do you say to Jews who feel unsafe" as a condition of doing any interview.

More than 1,000 Gazan civilians have been bombed and killed since the "ceasefire," but getting 20 hostages released is deserving of a Nobel. Incredible.
