Apparently SCOTUS
expects District judges to be mind readers. Lo and behold, the emergency order, short on substance & often vague, is now deemed precedent. Who knew?

Just read Meet a Movement. What immediately came to mind were the Shakers, the group that landed here in the late 18th century. They too were anti procreation. I believe what befell them will also happen to anti-natalists. By definition they will cease to exist.

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"

Hostilities break out between India and Pakistan. Trump claims he can resolve conflict in 24 hours but has a disdain of Indian food.

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social I listened to your recent show on the subject of Trump, Mysticism & Psychedelics. I listened to all 95 minutes of the intellectual colloquy you had with Ross about the topics above & his new book. Tho' I had to come up for air occasionally I must say it was fascinating.

What a coincidence. Elon creates a vacuum that China can fill! Will
any Republican elected official in Congress speak out?
Where is the hawkish Rubio? SecDef Hegseth? DNI Gabbard? They are nowhere to be found. Each day our power diminishes the less safe we are.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Just how long Rubio remains SoS is anybody's guess. I have no info or scoop but Marco has not looked happy & appears to be tolerating Trump's bravado. Trump's intentional bridge too far foreign policy will ultimately cause Rubio to resign.

This is a lament about the various changes in the auto industry and how a planned merger fell through as a result. And not a peep about Trump. But it stands to reason that the 2 automakers looked at the US mkt & saw tariffs, xenophobia & corruption make the prospects of a deal far too risky.

Another vital wake up call. Will new Trump
Admin pay attention?

Yeah, right.
You may not believe in climate change but your insurance company does. When your payment skyrockets because organizations whose entire job is measure risk decide that your community is risky you will get that climate inaction is screwing you, personally. Not birds and butterflies. You.
