'We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.' The US president is a lying tosspot. The plot was foiled by an insomniac farmer, who spotted the men and reported them to Gloucestershire police.

In the op-Ed “Humanity Has Avoided Apocalypse Before” this paragraph seems so obvious I struggle to understand why we are even talking about (of course it comes down to $ and aspirations of power.) Self-regulation is not an option.
Op-ed “Humanity Has Avoided Apocalypse Before. Let’s Do It Again.” in NYTimes today:
“The overriding idea behind A.I. policy must be that the companies building the technology cannot be left to police themselves, The government regulates every other industry that makes powerful products that bring large benefits and risks. The small circle of people who stand to profit the most from it cannot be allowed to make the rules.”

Raise your hand if you think polio just magically erased itself from our society? If you raised your hand, you are DEAD WRONG
Headline in the NYTimes today:
"Kennedy Assures Vaccine Skeptics That They Have a Friend at the
White House' The health secretary spoke at a conference featuring misinformation about vaccines, including a claim that the success
of the polio vaccines was a 'fraud.'"
This ignorance is incredibly dangerous and needs to be stopped

We Americans didn't learn our lesson. Trickle-down is a myth. Those tax cuts the GOP passed are putting Medicare and Social Security at risk, and going to cost future Americans a lot of money. We need to Tax the Rich (not the other way around)
From article "Soaring bond yields, gaping deficits and towering debts: what could go wrong?" in Economist dated September 16th: 
"The best way out of a hole is, of course, to stop digging-ie, borrow less. Alas, politicians are in a digging mood. In America, Donald Trump's mammoth tax-and-spending law of 2025 made most of his earlier tax cuts permanent and added new breaks, increasing the
deficit by trillions of dollars over the next decade...."

The current administration is willing to throw out millions of votes when voter fraud occurs at a rate of... --> 0.00004% <--
From APNews article "Trump slams the Supreme Court for rejecting his push to restrict mail ballots" (re-run in Seattle Times today):
"Trump has opposed mail voting and falsely blamed it for his 2020 election loss. A report by the Brookings Institution published in 2025 found that mail voting fraud occurred in only about four cases out of every 10 million mail ballots cast."

Not too surprising. (In fact, maybe even necessary?) But imagine if those weapons were AI controlled…
From “The Dealbook” newsletter today, published by Andrew Ross Sorkin of the NYTimes:
“QUOTE OF THE DAY”…
"The United States has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action."
“Air Force Secretary Troy Meink, in the first public acknowledgment that the U.S. has stationed weapons in space. The statement drew consternation from Beijing: ‘We urge the U.S. side to stop expanding its military force and preparing for war in outer space,’ Guo Jiakun, a spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry, said at a regular news briefing today.”

See this chart? Workers’ share of the nation’s income is at the lowest it’s been since records began in 1947. Corporate profits’ share, on the other hand, is the highest it’s been since 1950. This is why we must build back worker power.

Trumponomics again Government debt, trade debt, affordability debt, health debt, knowledge debt, ethics and corruption debt... Looks like those tariffs are not really helping the trade debt. All they are doing is make things worse for us, the average person.

Worried about the debt? It's because of tax cuts (that ultimately benefited the rich) (from Paul Krugman) substackcdn.com/image/fetch/...
Graph titled "U.S. debt is on track to reach historic levels" shows two trend lines from the year 1800 and projected to 2050. The blue trend line shows the main data over this period, and increases dramatically during/after WW2 (1940) over 100% GDP but drops down to 20% by 1980. It again starts rising dramatically in the 2010s reaching >100% by present day, and is projected to go to 187.55% by 2050.
A second trend line, labeled "Without Bush and Trump tax cuts" in the legend, deviates from the main line starting in 2000, and increases to 60% by 2020, but decreases to a projected value of 47.85% by 2050
