Deliberately crashing the American economy—costing American families well over $5,000 each—and then promising to pay those families back $5,000 but *only if* they keep letting him abuse them and the country for two more years... ...is some *seriously* dark, domestic-abuser shit.

Wow, absolute chaos just broke out in the House as Republicans refused to bring another war Powers resolution up for a vote. Mike Johnson has adjourned everyone and sent them home for the holidays. This is wild. Republicans are imploding. Nice work pissing them off Rep. McGovern!

Sen. Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, does not mince words in her newsletter today, following the collapse of the pipeline-for-pension deal last night. #akleg #Alaska
I'm going to start out a bit negative.

Yesterday, May 18, was a day that defies description.

Governor told the Legislature:

pass the bill he wants or he will veto the bill for Alaska's workforce.
pass his version of a gas pipeline bill that no one is allowed to know much about, or he will veto a bill worked through 2 Legislatures for the past 4 years.
his veto of the pension bill (here) at 10:48 pm scorns and denegrates the public employees who work in local governments as well as the state.
His version of a gas pipeline defies our Constitution - ignoring resource development for benefit of Alaskans (benefit for a private company), surrenders our taxing authority (removes local taxation authority, forbids financial transparency, logical financial assessment).

The Governor's actions can be described by some very troubling terms that I am leaving for you to come up with. This "transactional" approach is the worst possible way to make public policy.

...

I beseech Alaskans! - Please think before you vote in August Primary and November General elections. Alaska needs leadership in the Governor's seat with the humility to work with the Legislature, listen to Alaskans rather than D.C. and corporations, and is willing to focus on the job. Being Governor is a hard job. Please choose a work horse, not another show horse.

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

Shocking stuff from the CEO of Vornado Realty Trust on his latest earnings call:
“I must say that I consider the phrase ‘tax the rich’ — quote, tax the rich — when spit out with anger and contempt by politicians both here and across the country, to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs and even the phrase, ‘from the river to the sea,’” Roth said. He also criticized Mamdani’s singling out of Griffin, calling it an “ugly, unnecessary video stunt.”

Hard to overstate how obvious this was in Minneapolis. They'd roll around the neighborhood in full gear, doing nothing immigration-related at all, wait for angry crowds to gather, and then attack them with tear gas and pepper spray! It was a violent siege and the feds owe us billions in reparations.

You will not agree with everyone marching at No Kings! You won't like every sign you see or cheer at every single line from every speaker! And that's fine - that's even great! It's important to get exposed to the diversity of the coalition and figure out where your lane is.
