Trump: “When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way you can argue with them.”
Well, actually, there are a six ways you can argue against them.
I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...
I hate doing this but I would like to make sure I don't get evicted while also staying warm and not starving. Thank you. gofund.me/28aace631
