Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

I'm currently standing on stage every day for a month at #edfringe and pretty much saying this. We have to actively end the bad stuff.

What I don't quite have the time to discuss in detail is that while long-term oil & gas are likely now unprofitable but short-term the volatility keep them going

Federal food assistance cuts impact Montana Food Bank Network The Montana Food Bank Network faces a crisis as the USDA has canceled significant portions of its Emergency Food Assistance Program.

"The cancellation means Montana will lose more than 300,000 pounds of food โ€” worth more than $400,000 โ€” which was scheduled to arrive at the distribution center."

If a group of armed thugs come into my neighborhood and attempt to kidnap one of my neighbors, isnโ€™t it legal for me to take whatever action is necessary to stop them? Isnโ€™t that what โ€œstand your groundโ€ laws are meant for?

Donald Trump is Putinโ€™s puppet. He demonstrated that in televised living color in our Oval Office today by disgracefully attacking a democratic leader suffering a murderous invasion by the Russian thug. What a stain on America. Slava Ukraini.

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today.

The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office.

That's traumatizing.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

Kanzi the bonobo

Kanzi the bonobo

I missed the news that Kanzi passed away last month at the age of 44. He was a bonobo & a hugely important individual in the study of comparative intelligence and language use. I first read about him in Sue Savage-Rumbaugh's book more than 30 years ago, and am moved to learn of his passing! R.I.P.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like The energy is building

It was hard to hear many of the speakers. The PA system wasnโ€™t up to the task, but it didnโ€™t matter. We, the people, arenโ€™t being led so much as we are leading. The most unifying moment I felt was when the chant went up from the crowd, โ€œThis is what democracy looks like.โ€ Indeed.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Why is the media talking like thereโ€™s some sense to be made of this? We have a an arrogant old madman at the wheel, probably suffering from some level of dementia, and intent on driving us off a cliff! No sense. No logic.
