According to two people familiar with the matter, Francis has been suffering from intense pain and has privately expressed certainty he won’t make it this time. He is now acting entirely on “doctors’ orders,” said one of them.

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.

"There is, unfortunately, no law of nature that says democracy can’t be brought down & wars can’t be started by a bunch of clowns if they have enough support from people, parties, & institutions who enable them. It’s all just a farce – until the goons & buffoons are in power. That’s where we are."
Navigating the Nonsense and Propaganda of Clownish Authoritarianism
Ignoring what Trump says won’t work. Constant outrage is not a viable strategy either. We must find a more productive way to engage Trump’s dangerous outlandishness

"We are long past an era where the govt was merely corrupt — Trump isn’t even pretending to put his assets in trust this time. Trump 2.0 will be focused on undermining the rule of law itself. He's going to need a whole army of John Yoos if he wants to enact his agenda. He's already assembling it."
Trump's corruption of the DOJ goes much deeper than Gaetz
It's John Yoos all the way down.

If Trump can install walking honeypot marks like Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz into his cabinet, it will tell us all we need to know about how unchecked his power is. These are obscene nominations.
