How likely is ‘likely’? Does ‘likely’ have a higher probability than ‘probable’? I put together a quick quiz so you can see how you interpret probability phrases, then see how you compare with others: probability.kucharski.io

Trump vetos a unanimous, bipartisan bill to provide clean water in rural Colorado which would create jobs. Is this retaliation that the governor refuses to pardon Tina Peters convicted of election tampering or bc it’s in Lauren Boebert’s district and she voted to release the Epstein files?
Trump vetoes bipartisan bill to provide clean water to rural Colorado
The legislation to complete the Arkansas Valley Conduit passed Congress with unanimous support but was branded an ‘expensive and unreliable’ project by the President.

As I’ve explained, some enrollees will eat the extra cost, at least for a few months. Others will downgrade to worse plans with higher deductibles & out of pocket costs, as my wife & I had to. Still others will be priced out of ANY coverage.

This is what I've been saying. You have to fight this by destroying his legacy. And doing it with prejudice. There needs to be spectacle made of the destruction.
"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

My quick and dirty thoughts on Trump's short-sighted, stupid, and self-defeating ban on foreign made drones.
Banning foreign drones won't make us safer. Instead, it'll encourage people to build their own drones - which are way harder to track and to control.
