Why don't states require these companies install solar panels & build rainwater collection systems to supplement the resources they suck up? Also, taxpayers should be informed if companies are getting tax abatements & incentives. goodjobsfirst.org/cloudy-data-....

If a government shutdown is that costly to the economy why have they permanently shut down so much of it?

Guys at this point just assume that any dude who was a famous public intellectual in the 1990s was buddies with Epstein
MIT's famous linguistic professor Noam Chomsky was in regular and close contact with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a review of emails published by the U.S. House Oversight Committee. In the documents, Chomsky described Epstein as a "highly valued friend."

Axios is reporting the administration is leaking their plan to end the Ukraine war (yeah right) which probably means they're trying to steer the headlines away from whatever is in the Epstein files which could mean there's something good in there.

Anyone else wondering why cable news waited till today to talk about redactions in the Epstein files? Yesterday: "It's a huge victory with Schumer showing his brilliant leadership skills" *crowd roars* then today: "Oh, by the way it's unlikely we'll find out anything new"

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

As always, I'm astonished far less by Trump himself than I am by the tens of millions of Americans, powerful and not, who are essentially pretending this is all normal. It's like the court martial judges saying "well, maybe they DID steal his strawberries" and making Queeg Secretary of The Navy.
Trump: "I gave them as you know unlimited water, Biden came back with a rigged election, and he immediately restricted the water again. But I came back in and immediately unrestricted it again. So now you have unlimited water to clean your damn dishes."

With all the "thank you for your service" sentiment going on yesterday, I wonder how many people would say "thank you for carrying out extrajudicial executions on the high seas" to members of the military?
We all seem to be in denial about the military acting on Trump's unlawful orders.

I find it worrying that the military is "just following orders" in carrying out extrajudicial executions on the high seas. Are there no service members who would refuse an unlawful order?

I keep remembering the gnashing of teeth from the right over a WEF comment that stated "In the future, you will own nothing & you will be happy". Did I dream that?
psh 50 year mortgages are a half measure; real ones want 100 year mortgages that burden all the debtor's genetic descendants and let investors build actual castles off all the interest they'll collect for their outlay
QUINTANILLA: What's more likely -- a $2,000 tariff rebate check or a 50 year mortgage?
HASSETT: They're both really good ideas
