i think "TACO" now is actually totally wrong. it's not that Trump chickens out. it's that maintaining a tariff regime requires object permanence

Also: I know we’re all over — including me: www.lawdork.com/p/the-trials... — the troop deployment litigation in Portland and Chicago, but, don’t forget what is going on in D.C.

It’s now been more than two months since Trump authorized this.

Four National Guard troops, two leaning against the wall by the Dupont metro. None have anything to do, but they’re still here.

BREAKING: ICE agents just abducted a press camera operator in Chicago.

WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape.

What the hell is happening in America?

I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

It is frankly strange to be this obsessed with college if you no longer attend one and do not work in education. More people in legacy media need to be told that.

And who is the author of this op-ed? The billionaire CEO of an asset management firm who helped author the compact.

Some Democrats are already doing this, but I think all of them should treat No Kings protests as mid-term mandatory attendance events, like the local fish fry or county fair. Push back on the sweaty Republican attempts to make them seem scary.

He wants X thing so he gets X thing is not a given. And to me that's the thing to uproot from people's consciousness. Because we're less than a year in and many people seem already defeated.

Here's the thing. Over the last few days people have wanted to discourse, or play lawyer, or be petty and weird with minutia

Whatever.

It's real simple to me.

Link being permanently banned is wrong. That decision should be reversed.

Period.

local utility control back NOW! (plz vote for local GRU gainesville!)

just got my latest bill. i’m on “budget pay” which means they average the use over time and you pay one amount and it adjusts if you owe money end of year.

i do not have a balance, but my rate just increased $30/month.

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

Costa Samaras @costasamaras.com · 19h

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

We talk a lot about AIPAC and “the Israel lobby” but when it came to Israel, Biden had a genuine ideological commitment to the “hug Bibi” strategy even as others in his party didn’t like it.

Andrew Exum @exum.bsky.social · 1d

This week has confirmed my suspicion that Biden’s Middle East policies will look worse, and will be even more embarrassing for Democrats, with the passage of time.
