Trump's appointees compete for "Most Clueless in U.S. History," ignoring the need for balanced government to prevent authoritarianism. Who knew democracy had a 'Dummies Only' sign? 😲

Why would Witkoff announce Russians peaceful intentions. If we were a mediator. That wouldn’t be our role at all.

Aside from which if I heard this as a Ukrainian I would be thinking extremely bad thoughts about the US. “Russia continues to want peace in Ukraine” - AYFKM?
How would this be worded any differently if it were issued by the Kremlin?

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

An anonymous fusion cell sits in a room somewhere gathering data from license plate readers and traffic cameras then sends local cops to make interdiction stops based on anonymous WhatsApp messages. The amount of warrantless information we allow law enforcement to gather and act on is staggering.

One cannot go to Hannah Arendt’s work for comfort, Jennifer Szalai writes of the German-born political thinker. What she offers instead is “the company of someone who had direct experience of the horrors of the 20th century yet never relinquished what she called amor mundi, or ‘love of the world.’”

Tyson Foods announces that they’ll be closing a major beef-processing plant in Lexington, Nebraska with 3,200 employees.

Lexington has a population of 11,205.

Nebraska overwhelmingly voted for the orange felon over VP Kamala Harris.

I hope they’re enjoying their vote.

1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race.

One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible.
