Reyes: "I actually don't think courts should be playing Parks and Recs." But, because of the gov't's actions and as to additional tree-cutting plans, "I have no faith that the government isn't going to cut them down unless there's an order."

“Soldiers who still had their phones intact used Google to locate the nearest medical facilities. The wounded would later recount that their serious injuries were not treated promptly or adequately in the weeks that followed the strike.”

However, in Hoffman, the 5th Circuit, citing Bucklew, has said the Eighth Amendment forbids the gov't from "superadding" "terror, pain, or disgrace" So the strongest challenge would appear to be that a prurient spectacle is a "superaddition" of "disgrace" scholar.google.com/scholar_case...

Pink slime is a serious problem in the age of AI and polarization. I imagine that there could be small-scale outfits like this trying to capitalize on what some better funded campaigns (I guess that's the word, it's not journalism) are doing in many news deserts. Good investigation.

So many! But this one is delish! Also, great thread of recipes. (Think this was from the LA Times in the 90s)
White bean chowder with tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach 

Active work time 30 minutes;
Total prep time: 1 hour

2 T olive oil, divided 
1 1/2 T minced garlic
1 onion, chopped 
3 (15 oz) cans, Great Northern beans
2 t dried rosemary 
3 cups vegetable broth 
1 1/2 t balsamic vinegar 
1 (14.5 oz) can, diced tomatoes drained 
1/4 pound mushrooms, stems trimmed, sliced 
3/4 t salt 
1/4 to 1/2 t dried red pepper flakes
Freshly ground pepper 
1 6-oz bag baby spinach 
2 T minced Italian parsley or snipped chives for garnish, optional 

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving — not even necessary but we do like a shot of truffle oil

Hear 1 T of olive oil in 3-quart pot over. medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is softens, about 5 minutes 

Reserve 3/4 cup of the beans and place the rest, along with the rosemary, in the bowl of a food processor and purer until smooth. 

Transfer the puree and the reserved beans to the pot. Add vegetable broth , vinegar, tomatoes, mushrooms, salt and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. (The chowder can be made 2 days to this point and refrigerated or frozen up to one month.) Stir in spinach when ready to serve. Even better the second day.

I’ve learned from transcription (versus a gazillion years of taking notes during an interview), while it captures all, what makes it into the story is very much like it would have been w/o the tech. That is, people rarely speak in quotes. I find those, use partial quotes & paraphrase the rest.

The only real way that transgender rights hurt Democrats is when they run away from them and look weak. That's why El-Sayed's approach is politically smart and Talarico's is not. Voter do not care about issues. They care about strength versus weakness. Triangulation is weakness.
