Someone uploaded the video to reddit. He said it and then just abruptly stopped talking. The video is still working - you can see him blinking. And it's not an audio problem his mouth isn't moving

Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to Oregon A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon, including the California National Guard.

BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from deploying any National Guard troops in Oregon.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Damp squib energy reforms reject 8 of 10 review recommendations Analysis: The Government's limited energy package doubles down on fossil fuels after a market review recommends privatising the gentailers

Brutal from @marcdaalder.bsky.social :
"It’s not so much throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks as it is a half-hearted tossing of whatever was in arm’s reach, knowing it will just slide down the wall but hoping you’re not still in the job by the time starts to pool on the ground."

New: My analysis on the Government's just-announced energy reforms. The uninspired package doubles down on fossil fuels, after a major market review recommended privatising the gentailers.

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect.

So profoundly reluctantly.

But, good lord have they earned it.

Winston Peters skips UN climate summit despite being in New York Winston Peters didn't attend a UN climate summit the day after he promised to explain the problems of the Paris Agreement to Pacific nations.

Maybe just more Hegseth idiocy, but if this were happening in another country where an authoritarian leader was trying to consolidate power, we'd be very nervous

Govt open to Electoral Commission running future local polls

A store of ballot boxes are sitting unused in Nelson as council voting gets underway because the Electoral Commission doesn't run local elections.

have always thought a Harry Turtledove-style alt history where Tītokowaru wins and an independent Māori state forms across Urewera/King Country/Taranaki would be fun to read/write

I don't understand people who hate kids. yes they can be annoying but so can you. in fact you're more annoying considering you've made hating kids a core aspect of your personality. the kids are doing their best in a shitty situation. the world is fucked. be nice to the kids. they'll be adults soon
