GOP person looking to see who they can get killed next: "Let's see...can't attack trans anymore. Hmmm...hey, maybe if we put some Islamic centers on a map we can stir up some Islamophobia!

Don't put all Christian churches on the map, we won't be able to see anything!"

The number of leaders in history who have made dumb claims about short wars and been massively wrong…..is very, very, high.

Bet the rate’s even higher for illegal warfare.

Road construction tracker: 6 major projects that are reshaping Houston freeways Track billions in Houston’s biggest and most impactful road construction projects on Interstate 45, I-10 the Grand Parkway and the Ship Channel.

By 2040, Houston will have freeways with 100 lanes, and 50 of them will be closed due to construction and accidents.

Here's why rapid transit doesn't make sense.

I personally was deeply appalled that there was a Polymarket betting market where people wagered on someone's death.

In unrelated news, I wonder what the oil markets are going to do tomorrow.

One of the more frustrating parts of this birthright citizenship and the common law stuff is that the principles people want to talk about span multiple countries and centuries and it’s hard to respond to that.

Is there a common theme for stripping of birthright citizenship? For example, across countries and across times, was it used solely as a tool for oppression?

Screenshot of a tweet from x.com by Senator Dave McCormick that reads: 
Now would be a good time for Democrats to drop their opposition to DHS funding and pass the bill to support our homeland security.
Continuing to play political games with our national security given the unfolding situation in the Middle East is dangerous.

Boy, does this make me think of Justice Jackson’s Youngstown concurrence, in which he warns of the danger of a president unilaterally initiating a war, and then using that war as a bootstrap to claim extraordinary powers at home.

Apart from the face that Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist who should not be celebrated by anyone, he was as anti-education as they came! Not only did he not go to college, but he dedicated his life to attacking academics (myself included) because they deigned to research/teach on equity.

The war on Iran likely brings a new oil price shock and windfall profits.

So, who stands to win?

Our research shows: Last time around (2022), the US reaped the largest fossil fuel profits of any country ($377bn). 50% went to the top 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧡
