It's been an uncomfortably warm day. And I still don't think anyone remembered to set the alarm for Green Day.

'Morning, Blue Crew. It's Odin's Day, I have coffee, and the stupid camel is nowhere to be seen. There is, however, a cat laying behind me, snoring. And with that, time for coffee. Non illegitimi carborundum!

You will be able to set your watch by the frequency with which Musk sets his minions on people during this case, using their usual tactics of death threats and doxxing. And media will cover none of it.

The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

The White House app became the App Store’s most downloaded news app after the president barred three news outlets.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

RWers denounce & defund anything that cares for the public. They have taken individual choice to an alarming extreme. Vaccinations protect both individual AND public, which is why local government & other institutions require. RW hates when govt does good w/ our taxes. Makes cutting them illogical.

Another fight over who controls the nation’s purse strings. The White House announced that it plans to cancel $810 million in spending already approved by Congress, using a rarely used maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.”

A career prosecutor raised concerns about the John Brennan case, and Trump’s DOJ removed that prosecutor from the team. That’s how a department built to follow evidence becomes a weapon: push out anyone asking whether there’s actually a crime. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

I have absolutely no use for any political candidate who actively campaigns whilst wearing their military uniform, or routinely attaches their military rank to their name as part of their campaign process. Acknowledging service is one thing...shoving it in everyone's faces is quite another.

Absolute fact.
Picture of a Gothic or Victorian-type house on a hill, with three flights of stairs leading up the hill to the front door. Captions read "I'm at the age where this house doesn't scare me, but the thought of bringing groceries up these stairs does."

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.
