Dear EU,

Please don't cave in to these monsters.

"Unlike traditional trade negotiations, the US is not offering concessions in return. “It’s a one-way street,” said one EU official."

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

Rather than pointing out how much tax I've put back into the system thanks in part to my 'rip-off' English degree, I'll point out how much it broadened my knowledge of a subject I studied because I cared about it. It also gave me the critical faculties to see through sneering balls like this.

Kemi doesn't want people doing degrees that make them more rounded human beings or equip them with critical thinking skills. Of course she doesn't.

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

“The air traffic system, in general, is stressed to the max,” a veteran air traffic controller working at a major East Coast airport told Forbes on Tuesday, adding “sick outs will continue to happen because the [controllers] aren’t fit for duty.”

Overstressed, Unpaid Air Traffic Controllers ‘Aren’t Fit For Duty,’ Says Agency Veteran

Cracks in the air travel system are widening, as air traffic controllers bear the strain of an understaffed system and no pay until the government shutdown ends.

"In India, the world’s fourth-largest economy, fossil fuel electricity generation fell in the first half of 2025. Coal fell by 3 percent, and gas fell by 34 percent, the Ember report found. This was due in part to the country’s rapid build-out of wind and solar and in part because of mild weather."

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Someone needs to ask Mike Johnson about his views on pederasty, as that bears on one’s fitness to serve in public office.
(The difference between serving and ruling in public office is an entirely different matter.)

“Of all the replies a pilot doesn't want to hear when they radio air traffic control, "the tower is closed due to staffing" is probably pretty high on the list.”

An air traffic control tower was unstaffed. Is this the U.S. government shutdown breaking point? | CBC News

Burbank's air traffic control tower was temporarily un-staffed Monday, one of many incidents in U.S. airports caused by staffing shortages during the U.S. government's shutdown.
