Today, on the 31st anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum with its useless security assurances, we are facing a repeat of history as EU leaders warn of the risk of a peace deal without strong US security guarantees.

Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost

New in PN: A war criminal without a war

"We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

Just trying to imagine what would happen if every single non-U.S.-based content moderator who now would be denied a U.S. visa decided to stop moderating content posted by, directed at, or available to U.S.-based users. "You won't let us in? Then you no longer get the benefit of our labor. Enjoy!"

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.

Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.
