With ~30 days left in session, KY Republicans haven't held ONE public budget meeting or passed a single bill. They control both chambers but won't address cost of living. Instead of protecting healthcare for 500K Kentuckians, they're debating cigar bars & backyard chickens. @kydemocrats.org

Today the NYU Catholic Center asked “Is it Ethical to be Rich?”.
NPM was there with the answer.
Fr. NYU, O.P. said: “You may have been handed two flyers upon entrance to this event. The flyer with the charts and graphs is ours, the other was handed out by rogue elements."

1/2 Harvard is a category-leading institution that has defended many others by standing up to Trump. Who has raised his extortion demands to $1 billion.
Scouting (ex Boy Scouts) also defines a category. It needs to stand up to extortion by Hegseth.

Pentagon warns Scouts to restore ‘core values’ or lose military support
The relationship dates back decades, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticized the organization for allowing girls to join and changing its name from Boy Scouts.

Scouting should cut ties with Hegseth if doesn’t implement some personal core value reform
Scouting is a huge value add to DoD. It’s a messaging aligned partner that is a free contact point to hundreds of thousands of young people inclined to service.

Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements “core value reforms.”

Real talk: if the environment is anything close to what yesterday’s special election implies in November, there need to be people working very hard on a serious agenda for a substantial Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, focused on voting rights, democracy, and court reform.

More than anything else, the belief that AI is conscious or has a capacity for introspection reminds me of the belief that masks “don’t work.” It works the same way, basically, which is applying experimental methods in order to “answer” questions about things we already understand the cause of.

Anyone who accuses someone of hypocrisy for this is a pure bullshitter. There’s no contradiction between “the laws should be different” and “you shouldn’t be punished for doing something legal.” A free people is governed by laws, not by your idea of what laws should be.

it's just remarkable to remember that a whole ass constitutional crisis is being forced because a weird old wealthy dowager queen has no idea how the country he was elected to lead for 4 years works, and a bunch of wormtongues are trying to make cool tough guy videos for him and his fans
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
