I can't emphasize enough how the surge in 10-year US Treasury bill yields to 5% puts pressure on Trump to return to the negotiating table with Canada. US inflationary pressures are mounting and borrowing costs are rising. Tariffs look more like an unforced error every day.

A typically massive strategy failure from Trumpseth. When the US started illegally blowing up small boats off Central and South America, drug smugglers diversified into more effective routes. The supply and price of cocaine has not been affected, the DEA found.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

There's a revolution happening in urban transportation across the world. It's not EVs, not even autonomous EVs. It's got nothing to do with AI. No tech mogul is getting rich off it. Instead, the revolution is centered on an older, simpler technology: bicycles.

I agree with all the takes about an attack on the humanities being an attack on critical thinking, &c. It’s also about joy, though. ‘Why bother studying that’ is always also a sneer at — why do you think you should get to do something you enjoy? Grow up and be miserable all the time!

It's a banner on one side of the Clearwater's main sail that reads "Save the Clean Water Act" and has a drawing of Pete Seeger's banjo on it.It's a banner on the other side that says "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions”.
