Conviction in the senate requires 2/3. This means at least 20 rebubs out of 57. More than a handful.

Why aren’t at least some Republicans (a few more than now) in the House and Senate willing to turn on Trump? Are they all bought off? Threatened bodily? Unwilling to be primaried? Or do they see him as a necessary evil to get tax cuts for t to he rich?

Nothing new under the sun. The folks like Tom Friedman who said Sadaam had WMDs all have their jobs, but the Dixie chicks, who correctly said it was BS, got canceled.

Get every Democrat running for senator or Congress in 2026 to make it one of their main campaign promises, so if they win they have a mandate.

Long time resident of Tokyo here. This article is OK, but omits some important facts. Such as: 1) Japan doesn’t allow big corporations to own hospitals and clinics. 2) Residents (including non-citizens) get a free annual physical (including cancer screening), and periodic free dental checkup.

政府は「後発地震注意情報」は煽りすぎ❗️
100回に99回(以上)空振りになるので、まぁ「備えを確認してください」程度の注意喚起は妥当だ。
また政府の「1週間」はナンセンスだ。リスクは時間が経つと徐々小さくなるが、8日目のリスクは7日目とほぼ同じだ。
国民にとってえらい迷惑❗️

As for the tsunami warning this is somewhat more reasonable. They have only a minute or two to analyze the data, and there are lots of uncertainties, so they err on the high side. If they issue an ultimately unnecessary warning folks don’t mind much as long as it’s a once in at most ten years thing.

The folks doing this used to get funded for predicting quakes, but admitted they can’t 8 yrs ago. They now have to pretend to do something else to get funding so every time they issue a ‘boy who cried quake’ warning that there might be a bigger quake. Yes, but less than one chance in 100. 1/

Probably her writing isn’t so bad after a good editor fixes it up, but looks like there was no editor here.😁

Some of your classmates or 先輩 may have successfully transitioned to business. Ask them for tips. Or just think about what jobs outside academia might interest you, talk to folks in those fields, and apply for jobs. You might learn from the interviewing process even if you’re not successful at first.
