I voted for Bush Jr and then Dems ever since. Concerned about the world I’m leaving to my kids. I want a public health option, equality, and a sane environmental policy.

This is Canadian PM Mark Carney's response to Trump's latest tariffs/threats. I am no trade expert. But I so envy Canada for having a leader who is lucid, informational, and operates for the betterment of his country without being impeded by malignant personality disorders.

If my back-of-envelope math is correct, this would put the averge middle class person down approximately $75k in terms of wealth share versus their 1996 peer. This is the very real cost of electing people who yell about queer people, low flow toilets, migrant caravans, Freedom Fries, and the like.

Donald Trump has turned the presidency into the most lucrative business venture of his life, nearly tripling his net worth. It's repulsive. This level of self-dealing is unlike anything we’ve seen from any other President and my Republican colleagues should stop enabling it.

NEW: The Supreme Court ruled today that limits on political parties' coordinated spending violate the First Amendment—giving wealthy donors more influence over our democracy. This decision further prioritizes special interests ahead of the American people.

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...
“Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it’s only as good as the information you use to train it,” said Charles Poon, Ford’s vice president of vehicle hardware engineering.“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product.”

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

And the message must be rooted in material reality. Hungary’s pro-democracy opposition didn’t win in 2025 by running on democracy as an abstraction. They won on corruption. On healthcare. On economic stagnation. On what sixteen years of authoritarian consolidation had been costing ordinary Hungarians in their daily lives. Seventy-nine percent of voters turned out despite a captured media, a gerrymandered electoral system, and the active intervention of foreign heads of state working to keep the authoritarian in power. And they turned out because the opposition made the material cost of authoritarianism visible and concrete. People do not mobilize to defend institutions. They mobilize when they can see, in concrete terms, what is being taken from them and their families.

Here is something President Theodore Roosevelt (who served from 1901 to 1909), did say, or rather wrote in a newspaper editorial published in the Kansas City Star on May 7, 1918, during World War I, sharply criticizing then-President Woodrow Wilson’s conduct of that war:
A graphic showing a close-up black and white photograph of President Theodore Roosevelt's head, to the left of which is this quote of his:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

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.
