Johnson refused to swear in the Congressional candidate prior to shut down, since doing so could have forced a majority vote on the release of Epstein files

"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."
SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records
The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Under Title 32 USC, The Adjutant General (TAG) in each state is the military commander for both the Army and Air National Guard for that state and usually coordinates directly with the governor for domestic operations including emergency response.

Overton window, Tom. Living with less is never going to have popular appeal; entitlement the driver of ecological collapse. Academic studies will have little impact on slowing the Death Race. Rapid structural changes need radical action to survive the bottleneck of so called civilization.

Altman blowing off this launch as simply fun and creativity, rather than unleashing a Pandora's box of ultraviolent passions and abuses, all part of the marvelous potential of the human capacity for cruelty. What will become of our children's minds, will imaginations become more ethically tuned?

SDGs, example of localized applications. First off, I find the framework of 'sustainable' an utter crock. So, if we can talk about degrowth and overshoot in this context, it's a start.

I admit I found the paper a very dull read - about as enthralling as discussing SDGs at the COP - lip service without implementation. Still, I shared it because the chart incorporates overshoot, which is refreshing given the popularity of the 'doughnut' model. Does it have legs?
