The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

Gasoline will have a big impact on September CPI. EIA data show Sep YoY gasoline inflation is 36%. Diesel (not a line item in CPI) will be worse, at 68% YoY. (Diesel demand is half of gasoline by volume; shows up more on the PPI side, and/or embedded in inflation of other goods with lag in CPI)

For the briefest, teeny-tiniest moment in Trump v. J.G.G. it looked like this SCOTUS majority would at least recognize that noncitizens have due process rights to notice and an opportunity to challenge summary removals. They have spent every day since then running away from the idea.

Accusing people who don't live in your little cultural bubble of feigning ignorance about a pop song is, amusingly, a spectacular display of actual ignorance of how big and varied the world is.
Excerpt from Rolling Stone:

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of "Choosin' Texas" or Langley, it may say more about the listener than the song. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world. With incessant news coverage alongside chart and playlist presence, it's pretty difficult to still claim total ignorance on this one. Perhaps there is a deeper reason why people say they haven't heard the song and feel the need to make it known: cultural cachet.

Until this week I had never heard of “Choosin’ Texas,” which I guess is now the most popular song in music history. That’s on me I suppose.

This post marked at least the third time this month, and the ninth time since March, that Trump has accused news outlets of “treasonous” reporting. I go through the list here: www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate “Reporter,” Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me. Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations? Why was she there? She’s got a “TRUMP” addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented! The “good news” is that they have a great, for them, and totally disloyal Judge. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
