When your redistricting scheme’s so shady you need cops to babysit lawmakers into voting for it, that’s not leadership...it’s legislative hostage-taking. Rep. Nicole Collier said nope: “I won’t sign away my dignity.” Big democracy energy. #TXlege #Gerrymandering #TruthBombTuesday

From my newsletter to Democracy Docket members yesterday.

League One chief executive confirms Celtic talks over cooperation agreement Celtic have been in talks with a second club over a cooperation agreement this season, according to a League One chief executive.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle's interim chief executive Charlie Christie has confirmed talks between themselves and Celtic over a cooperation loan agreement for League One.

Celtic already have an agreement in place with Ayr United for the Championship.

You're not suggesting that the president is running a protection racket.

A murderous dictator has kompromat on the US President and is making him do his bidding.

The Cold War never ended for Vladimir Putin.

What is happening to America right now is his greatest triumph.

FORTY PERCENT.
Let that sink in. Vegetable prices have gone up forty percent.

Is America reaching Greatness yet?

In about an hour I’ll drop an article that’ll make the short hairs on your neck stand straight up. When you finish...you won’t see Putin’s war...or America’s betrayal...the same way again. You'll never get this from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, etc. It's ugly. But someone has to level with you. Stay tuned.

Hey everyone! Just landed back in France after spending 3 weeks guiding photo tours in Greenland.
Looking forward to share some new work from there 🙂.
Meanwhile here’s a video of a really cool iceberg 🧊 we found last week.

Two big takeaways from yesterday. First, by “joking” that if the U.S. were at war in 2028 there would be “no more elections,” brushing aside the constitutional mandate for regularly scheduled votes. Then later, when a hot mic caught him telling French President Macron that

States sue over DOJ demand to hand crime victims to ICE More than 20 AGs have united against Trump's attempt to use "victim funds as a bargaining chip."

NEW: More than 20 state attorneys general have filed suit against the DOJ, alleging the Trump administration is unlawfully seeking to withhold critical funds for crime victims from states deemed noncompliant with its immigration enforcement efforts.

The country is really against this president, by large and increasing numbers.

My mRNA vaccine beats your horse dewormer 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.

How RFK Jr. Mastered Fake Science—and Screwed Us in the Process He’s Making America Great Again—for lethal pathogens.

Cutting off mRNA research because the first mRNA vaccines weren't good enough - *even if that were true, which it really isn't* - is like if we banned personal computers in 1981 because the IBM PC was too expensive

mRNA vaccines are a bright spot at the intersection between national (and global) security, global public health, and American prosperity. Ending government funding for mRNA research is like the proverbial “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” Urge your Congressional rep to stop this madness.

I Rather agree with Dan,and this was from Chump's prior meeting
With Boss Putin.......

Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.
