A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.

The Constitution is the primary consideration. The ONLY thing that should be honored and adhered to.

I have unusually bad osteoarthritis and I was told in my 50s to keep moving if I want to keep moving. I'm 79 now (month and a half older than trump) and walk my dog every day the weather allows, take yoga twice a week, and lift weights. Feel great!

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.

Thereโ€™s no such thing as a โ€œfree market.โ€

It is designed.

It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

When Bezos changed the Washington Post's editorial board standards to align with โ€œpersonal liberties and free markets,โ€ he meant his own liberty to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear.

If Trump is innocent, prove it.

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it.

Release the Epstein files.

Dems in Congress should start demanding the list of names of all ICE โ€œagentsโ€. These people seem to walk more carefully when they know consequences may be around the corner.

As a veteran who served in intelligence, I want to introduce you to EXORDS: the execute order from the President to SecDef. This allows 60 days operations under the War Powers Act. The President must advise Congress and gain approval to continue.
No EXORD was sent to Congress. This is illegal

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

This is not an effort to end the war in Ukraine. If they are genuine about their intentions to end the war, Russia can just declare an end to their invasion of Ukraine and withdraw their troops immediately.

No, this is just more subterfuge and devious ploys to rob the Ukrainians blind of more land.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

Somehow this is the worst part.

Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.
