I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse.

There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

FDA Slow Walking a Long-Awaited Abortion Pill Safety Study The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a promised review of safety data for the abortion drug mifepristone at Commissioner Marty Makary’s request to put it off until after the midterm elections,...

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The tools v. technology take is spot on and it's not just human agency at stake but what it means to be distinctively human.

AI can be yet another way we dehumanize education.

Affordability concerns are real because:
- Tariffs raise import costs
- Deportations make it harder to harvest crops
- Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums
- Budget deficits raise mortgage payments
- Undermining the Fed risks inflation.

It's not a hoax; it's a policy choice.

The Roberts Six have thoroughly politicized the Court and turned it into a reliable arm of the RNC.

Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

There is a difference between inheritance and action. I cannot help who my ancestors are, but I can make my own choices. That so many Americans chose to place in power a man who holds people in contempt on the basis of race, religion, and national origin; that so much of the mainstream media conveys this bigotry through tired, obfuscating euphemisms; that there is so low a political price for the president’s racism that he and those around him see little risk in its expressionβ€”well, that does say something about America, and Americans. Immigration isn’t breaking our society. That’s a job Americans can do on their own.

the entire point of what they're doing now is try to make you forget that the first strike and in fact all strikes on boats with alleged drug traffickers on them ARE ILLEGAL IN THE FIRST PLACE

The President Who Never Grew Up Instead of focusing on governing, Trump spends his days chasing entertainment, attention and renovation projects that reflect a presidency stuck in adolescence.

J-MART: ".. he’s turned the office into an adult fantasy camp .. brazen corruption, near-daily vulgarity and handing out pardons like lollipops ..

".. the country has never seen such an indulgent head of state."

Trump Renames Institute of Peace for Himself

Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data.

Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points.

The cruelty is endless.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

Also the first strike was illegal! The whole murder spree is illegal. It’s all murder, the trump administration just somehow managed to make it even worse murder, somehow!!

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

This is one of the most important exposΓ©s published in WSJ in several years, and it derives from intercepts and analyses by foreign intelligence services studying the conduct of Trump and his inner team. It's first and foremost a wake up call to the people of the United States.

The headline is not just that Pete Hegseth issued a plainly unlawful order to intentionally slaughter survivors after an initial strike. It is also that senior military officers improperly carried out those orders.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: As a military officer, I was repeatedly trained on the law concerning illegal orders. 

Now, veterans citing this law have been targeted by the president with threats of prosecution and death - because they oppose him politically.

If the government acts against them, it will further display President Trump's thirst for the one thing our Republic cannot abide: tyranny.
