Can’t decide whether I should mock St. Paul or be jealous that Waymo flatly ruled out going there in today’s Strib.

Blackout plates bout to push us purple
The funny thing about New Jersey is they have some of the safest drivers in North America, per mile. I think they're just assholes because the roads in that particular state (and Massachusetts) are designed in a way that you HAVE to be aggressive.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

Bring back Superman’s weird round head
Superman—then all of two years old—made his first appearance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade 85 years ago, on November 21, 1940. Here's day-after coverage in the New York Times.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I don’t know if a president vowing to send the military after has political opponents meets the legal threshold for treason, but it comes a hell of a lot closer than saying that if so ordered, the military should refuse.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Keep an eye on Appleton MN. Almost 3 hrs from the Twin Cities, feds are looking at it for an ICE detention facility. Far from the prying eyes of the largest and densest population of people who oppose concentration camps. (Gratitude for the locals on the right side) www.minnpost.com/greater-minn...
Appleton residents weigh value of potential ICE detention center
Appleton’s private prison, once the town's biggest employer, has sat unused for 15 years. The Trump administration might have plans for it.

I tool this at Bro-tex this morning. From a PiPress article about ICE on Lake St in June '25 "The Southern Poverty Law Center says there are Neo-Völkisch groups that “rely on a romanticized Viking aesthetic and mythos — imagery they use to perpetuate their belief in white racial superiority."

Corporate tax cuts.
Estate tax cuts.
Overseas income tax cuts.
Pass through business tax cuts.
These are all tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy that Trump wasn’t willing to let expire.
But ACA tax credits to protect health care? Forget about it.
