Get in losers we’re doing central planning without the planning

"Due process is not a courtesy extended at the government’s convenience. Due process is the condition that makes custody lawful in the first place... When liberty is restrained without a meaningful opportunity to be heard, the Constitution’s promise is not delayed. It is denied."

Iowa farmers are hurting because of this chaotic tariff policy that Ashley Hinson continues to support. She continues prove that she’ll put corporate greed and party leadership above Iowans at every turn. Our farmers deserve better.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

Bitcoin hit a high of $126,000 last year. Then it dropped to $120K, $110K, $100K, $90K, $80K, $70K and is no hovering around $60K.

More than a trillion in notional "value" wiped out.

There is no Fed or Treasury ready to bail it out.

But Congress is close to blessing it...

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

November 3rd is coming

Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I met with the Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges and Universities to discuss the Trump Administration’s attacks on higher education. As this Admin creates new barriers to accessing education, We made it clear that we stand with students and educators.

YouTube video by NBC10 Philadelphia Philly DA vows to prosecute ‘wannabe Nazi' ICE agents who violate the law

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."

As the U.S. bids adieu to the World Health Organization, California says hello In the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from WHO, California is the first state to participate in the agency's disease monitoring network. Are others following?

Did Bovino have a speck of decency to apologize, at least just for what he said about Pretti? No.

Did JD Vance? No.

Did Stephen Miller? No.

Did Kristi Noem? No.

They simply lack basic human decency and have no business being in senior positions of the US government.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: “Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. “Today, we demand accountability. “In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. “Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

Good morning with good news: EU reached the historic milestone of 30% wind and solar for all of 2025! That is up from 12.66% in 2015 & 19% in 2021.

Solar generated 13.2% & wind 16.9% in 2025.

China was over 20% W&S in 10 of 12 months and ~22% in 2025.

US was near 19% W&S in 2025.

It's good to see elements of civil society finally moving in the right direction.

Anyone who uses the term "high IQ" isn't.

If you are running for president you should make clear you’re gonna send Greg Bovino to prison

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The global rule of law is not collapsing – Trump is the lone problem and he can be defeated | Simon Tisdall The president’s approval ratings are plummeting and most Americans see him as an aberration. It is now up to them to curtail his despotic reign, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

Dana Bash @cnn.com just gave a master class in holding murderous federal officials accountable during her grilling of Greg Bovino.

Build the case. Immunity and impunity won't stand the test of time. Eventually the rule of law will prevail.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Update from Hamed Aleaziz

"John Mitnick, who once was the head attorney at the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration, criticized his former agency on Saturday night. 'I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty,' he wrote" www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

Every comparativist, nodding vigorously.

Every day brings us closer to a new administration that will hopefully decide to make these murderous public officials account for their actions and bring them to justice.

Remember: impunity rarely stands up to the passage of time.

Trump’s Art of the Not-Quite-Deal The president has offered frameworks, pledges, handshakes and threats — a style that carries growing legal, economic and diplomatic risks.

Nice essay on Trump’s notion of what a “deal” really is: a series of “pledges, frameworks .. shakedowns, memoranda of understanding, or otherwise opaque, informal, or incomplete arrangements” that allow him “to claim a quick victory and move on to the next thing.”
