"Look at the last 3 GOP presidents. One oversaw a double-dip recession with a savings & loans scandal that looted the Treasury. That was Bush I. Another oversaw near meltdown of the whole capitalist system. That was Bush II. Then the next presided over a pandemic-driven collapse. That was Trump I."

Are voters finally realizing GOP presidents are disasters?
Michael Tomasky makes the case that they are.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Don't overread this. The USPS rule came out Friday. After SCOTUS and when Judge Talwani lifted the injunction yesterday, this was the expected result. HOWEVER, now, we go to round two — the new TRO/PI requests from Wed. DOJ's TRO response is due in the next 16 minutes. Then, we go forward.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

A friend found this clipping in some old files. Haven't seen this before. Mind blown.
Color political cartoon by Danny Hellman from the New York Press dated October 6-12, 1999. In it, Donald Trump and his then wife Marla Maples being shown a model of the White House with many added stories and a shiny gold T on the top, with Taj Mahal towers on the side and flags flying with a T. It is labeled "Proposed White House Renovation." A ghoulish Philip Johnson says, "Granted, It's in violation of several of Washington D.C.'s landmark and zoning codes. But of course as president of the United States..." Trump, licking his lips, says, "It's tremendous, Philip, when do I move in?" The caption beneath is Spectacularly unqualified egomaniac Donald Trump contemplates a White House run"

"It's like watching a train crash. Deliberately targeting the poorest and most amateur investors and locking them in until the top of the ponzi scheme can get out. And unlike 2008, everyone can see this happening." $SPCX www.patreon.com/BindingChaos...
It's like watching a train crash. Deliberately targeting the poorest and most amateur investors and locking them in until the top of the ponzi scheme can get out. And unlike 2008, everyone can see this happening.

"For most of history, getting into a marquee IPO at the offer price was a privilege reserved for big accounts. Fidelity just changed that for SpaceX, opening the offering to any customer with at least $2,000 in a retail brokerage account, a fraction of the threshold that has historically gated access to hot new issues.

That's an easy in. The costly out is in the fine print: a 15-calendar-day leash, and penalties that escalate with each early sale until a third strike triggers a lifetime ban on Fidelity IPOs tied to your SSN.

Fidelity tied the lower bar to this SpaceX offering specifically, and has not adopted it as a permanent policy.

Insiders aren't on the same leash. SpaceX reserved up to 5% of the offering for a directed-share program, shares for "certain employees and persons" its executives pick, with no lockup at all. They bought at $135 and can sell on day one, roughly $3.75 billion in stock that can hit the market immediately while retail waits 15 days. One early investor’s 7% stake is set to be worth close to $90 billion.

Fidelity's 15-day window is the shortest of the brokers offering SpaceX, well under FINRA's 30-day benchmark"

Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment. WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
49. On January 8, the Kennedy Center’s Chief Financial Officer sent an email to
WNO’s General Director and Board President asserting for the first time and, contrary to the terms
of the 2024 Agreement, that the funds in the WNO BSRF belonged to the Kennedy Center. In
addition, the CFO disclosed that the Kennedy Center had used those funds—funds that the 2024
Agreement expressly required to be held for the long-term benefit of WNO—to collateralize the
Kennedy Center’s own line of credit.
50. The next day, on January 9, 2026, the WNO Board voted to terminate the 2024
Agreement. WNO’s Board President and Board Chair immediately notified the Kennedy Center
of that decision in a letter to Mr. Grenell and requested that the parties begin unwinding the
affiliation.
