Just to get it out of the way, before the discourse starts dunking on ‘urbanists’: No one wants regular Americans — who have no transportation choices — to go broke because of trump’s war of choice. There are carrots and sticks, but this is going to genuinely hurt vulnerable people.

This guy is an energy pricing expert. Currently chief energy advisor at Gulf, long time contributor to various NPR shows. Incredibly distressing.
The next 24 hours will see staggering increases at the pump for both gasoline & diesel. Fuel margins have yet to catch up with previous wholesale hikes.
Watch for huge increases in Great Lakes and Rocky Mountain states in particular.

Remember when the ultra-wealthy did things like build libraries and hospitals and schools? Now all they do is trade money back and forth between themselves and finance legislation that allows them to keep doing it.

Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month. It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.

Wendell Berry was a giant. He understood that ecological destruction and capitalism’s worship of limitless scale were not separate problems, but were a single moral wound. He built a moral universe in which land, work, love, and community all belong to one another. As we belong to one another.

It was a big story when Max Miller claimed he received death threats from a pro-Palestine commuter on I-90 last year. None of it rang true: how could threats be heard at high speed on the highway? We now know that many of Miller's accusations are suspect. Moe Tkacik recounts them:

The Ohio congressman fabricated a wild story of death threats on Interstate 90 and casually destroyed the life of a constituent. It’s one of many accusations Miller, now facing a spousal abuse scandal...

One tiny leg out for Hong!!!
Heater, a perfect orange cat and the pride of my soul, is hanging out in her recently-preferred bed — despite not using it for two years — which is a cave in the shape of a cat head. Currently it is sitting on top of a Costco handcart and Francesca Hong yard sign. Heater’s tiny back foot (which is orange stripey til the knee where it turns into a white boot) dangles out of the side of the bed.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.
