Just finished a weeklong vacay at WDW and my only takeaway is that Disney is insane for not covering their parking lots with solar panels. #disney #wdw #solar #mycarisanoven #win/win

I do legit forget that I'm an adult sometimes.

Kinda sad sometimes.

I still wanna think about what I want to be when I grow up.

Trump and the Energy Industry Are Eager to Power AI With Fossil Fuels At a Pittsburgh summit, the Trump administration, energy executives, and tech barons joined as one to promote AI as the future of fossil fuels.

I think we can safely sum up the AI movement as, “Fuck humanity.”

Revealed: UnitedHealth secretly paid nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers A Guardian investigation finds insurer quietly paid facilities that helped it gain Medicare enrollees and reduce hospitalizations. Whistleblowers allege harm to residents

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

Disappearing an elected official.

Just two weeks ago, Trump signed an executive order to expand apprenticeships "to fill the growing demand for skilled trades and other occupations."

This week, DOGE quietly killed millions in Labor Dept grants that do exactly that by getting more women into jobs like construction & manufacturing.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The Odin Story Event in the Ever Crisis had a chance to be so funny.

Booker, just minutes away from the speaking record: "This is when the most precious ideas of our country are being tested, where the Constitution and the question is being called -- Where does the constitution live? On paper? Or in our hearts? This is the moment."

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is being decimated right now. Mass layoffs happening across agencies (NIH, FDA, CDC etc).

Some employees found out by security badge being denied. Others got email.

Line outside Health Resources and Services Administration this AM shared with me:

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect.

Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

Why “Constitutional Crisis” Fails to Capture Trump’s Attack on the Rule of Law The Administration’s defiance of Congress and the judiciary has both flouted and made use of the country’s legal system.

“People expect too much if they expect the courts to try to aggressively defend legislative prerogatives when Congress won’t do that.” A lawyer who worked in three Presidential Administrations talks about Trump’s defiance of court orders.

Astarion sits between two sheep, a flower crown adorning his head. He smiles to the camera. Lae'zel stands to his right on the left of the screen, arms crossed and glaring. She's also wearing a flower crow. Reluctantly. Auntie Ethel- whoops, we mean, the hag you can find in the swamp, stands to the right, arms wide with happiness.

My favorite takeaway (paraphrasing) from this call: “They have the money. They have the media. But we have each other.”

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

This is a bill I cannot support.
