Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

"The press should have forcefully responded to the unhinged anti-vaccine garbage pushed by the president," @brettlogiurato.bsky.social writes, noting that the news media did not aggressively counter the anti-vaccine rhetoric being promoted out of the Oval Office. www.status.news/p/trump-vacc...

The Media's Vaccine Hesitancy
Donald Trump's executive order attempting to gut the childhood vaccine schedule was built on debunked science. Too much of the news media’s coverage treated it as a political dispute.

Fitch is now warning that an AI Market Correction is emerging as a major credit risk, with “the the medium- and long-term potential of [AI] being highly uncertain” www.fitchratings.com/research/ban...
FITCH WIRE
Al Market Correction
Emerging as Major
Credit RiskThe scale of the Al investment boom and the accelerated global technology cycle has been a significant driver of US equity market valuations and corporate bond issuance over the past year. The effects on real economic indicators are profound. The 18% yoy rise in IT capital investment directly added 1.4pp to 1Q26 GDP growth. The wealth effect from Al-related investor optimism and equity market gains has also been a meaningful support for US consumer spending growth, which has been broadly slowing.
That said, the medium- and long-term potential of the underlying technology is highly uncertain, as with previous tech cycles. The combination of revenue uncertainty and the extent to which capital markets and economies have become intertwined with Al have
created a vulnerability for credit in the event of a reevaluation of long-run returns potential. Very short-term spikes in market volatility for individual equities and tech-heavy stock indices have already occurred, but a larger, more protracted correction could have wider market, macro and credit effects depending on its scale, duration and contagion.

If the Baltimore Orioles were to win a World Series -- a moment I've waited on for four decades now -- and showed up as a team to grip and grin with a corrupt, racist, pedophilic narcissist who debases our republic at every turn, I would never be seen at Camden Yards again. Fuck the L.A. Dodgers.

A clean, cogent argument can be made that while there are a great many accomplices involved, three men are predominantly responsible for the end of the American Century and the collapse of our republic: Newt Gingrich, Rubert Murdoch and Mark Burnett. I'm not here to argue, only to mourn.

The move is a strong rebuke of Trump’s efforts to pressure southern states into passing GOP gerrymanders ahead of the midterms, after the Supreme Court gutted key protections that had long shielded Black voting power from racial gerrymandering.
