β€œWe are very comfortable with Mr. Trump’s decision-making but not necessarily yours” is very Stalinesque.

This is how he operated the Miss Teen Ayatollah Pageant back in the day, so it shouldn’t surprise.

EV Instant Rebate ad

MCE (formerly Marin Clean Energy) offers $2k-3500 to purchasers of an electric car, but has no corresponding e-bike incentive.

In 2025, they provided 1500 EV awards.

With the same $4M in funding allocated differently, they could instead subsidize 1000 cars, 1000 e-bikes, and 1000 cargo e-bikes.

I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?

Polymarket Pulls Bet on Nuclear Detonation in 2026 β€˜How ghoulish.’ The depravity economy moves into the nuclear war business.

Polymarket has pulled the bet on a nuclear detonation happening in 2026. There were obv concerns that a platform being used by insider traders would not mix well with a bet encouraging the detonation of a nuke. Polymarket didn't respond to request for comment

It took almost 3 years from the Gulf of Tonkin incident for Wm. Fulbright to manifest intraparty opposition to Johnson’s war, and Johnson got no pushback from Republicans except to go harder.

Day 4, GOP doubt about Trump’s Iran folly is already barely concealed, and Dems are almost wholly opposed.

Senator, would there be any utility in a unanimous demand by Democrats that DJT resign immediately for gross abuse of power? I feel like our military brass need to see this before they receive the ultimate order.

β€œ(Our commander) said that β€œPresident Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth”. He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy.”
