I love your description, but cycles can be broken. Anything can happen. Anyway, always good to get the bad guys out for even a sec. I yearn for a day of peace.

Public executions are illegal, yes? Are cruel and inhumane.

🚨 ANALYSIS: Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel weeks before the midterms, despite analysts doubting the deal will meaningfully lower prices. Zelenskyy accuses Trump of using Ukraine’s peace talks as a “smokescreen” for his Putin deal. The full story is worse than you think.

So army regulation 190-55 states clearly that no recording device may be present at an execution, and no person under age 18 may witness it. The constitution bans cruel and inhumane punishment. What Hegseth wants to do is clearly illegal. Bureau of Prisons ban public executions. 1/2

Men also love to use the word "agency" against rape victims. It's all over Twitter right now. Well educated men especially think this is an intellectual argument. Poor Jane Doe.

McCain is the anti-Susan Collins. "While McCain opposed the Obama-era Affordable Care Act (ACA), he cast the deciding vote against the American Health Care Act of 2017, which would have partially repealed the ACA. " Wikipedia.

The pile has since grown. So pleased for Anne Carson, but felt her response to the @nobelprize.org sums it up quite nicely:

It was a short call, Carlberg said:
All the poet would say was she was "in Iceland," where she was
"listening to the wind."

They don't even try to hide their bias; look at the damage they have caused. For example, what rational person could conclude that the Constitution grants the President immunity?

A tiny bit of gentle advice for the men: before you try to explain or pontificate anything about the Cornell 7 to a woman, please remember chances are she’s already an expert 🙏🏻

Trump keeps saying that a 1929-style Great Depression is likely during the second half of his term. Quite the midterm message.

Glorious famed Maroon Bells is in big trouble, abandoned by NPS, whose budget Trump has cut by 75 %. He can now claim we can’t afford these mega-popular vast public lands and they must be privatized.

FOX: We’re active with Iran—how do you get out? El-Sayed: You don’t get in in the first place. We had an agreement that had contained nuclear weapons. We did not need to do this, so the first time the dunce got elected he pulled back on the agreement.

ProPublica dropped the first story in a new series on corruption in Congress, and it starts with Sen. Susan Collins. A defense contractor illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins PAC. The company’s CEO later pleaded guilty to unlawful campaign contributions.

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

I wonder if the NY Times has a Euphemism Desk to soften its stories. Trump lawlessness is an “expansive interpretation of presidential power”? A Trump-UAE crypto scheme “blurred the line between foreign policy and private enterprise.” This thread imagines history as written by NYT’s Euphemism Desk.🧵

We’re on a path to lose the Senate but win the House. Let’s make sure we win both. We can’t move forward with the plan to expand the supreme court if we don’t win the senate.
