How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

As a fan of some minimalist modern style homes, I am always lumped in with this crowd, which is like being a classy member of the Kennedy clan being associated with RFK JR. The amount of beautiful homes in New England and then there's the moss roofed bunker built mostly in the ground.

A new book by David Jacob Kramer and the photographer Michael Schmelling captures the hardheaded and hearty few who have kept the back-to-the-landers movement alive.

I am a ball of furious rage. The hypocrisy and abject fascism the party of white supremacy displays is really obvious if you are not among the illiterate imaginary friend worshipping third of the country who voted for Trump twice.

My upcoming book, SCARCITY, lays out a roadmap for Dem electoral success by tailoring policy to punish both groups. I'd say I'm joking but honestly we've tried catering to them for decades and look where that got us. Going forward: no more carrots, only sticks.

CNN making this sound more mysterious than it is. It was Yersinia pestis, the plague, the researcher died because she inhaled it into her lungs and developed pneumonic plague, there is no danger but to those directly exposed in the lab. Fear-mongering in the time of global terror is a sick choice.

It’s always a numbers game in contagion, but if she self-reported at time of exposure I don’t think this would even be a story. I think there is definitely a story here, but I live in New England, and don’t hang out with the Russian biodefense lab guys, so more worried about about more rain here.

I could give a shit about The Bulwark crew, they're not putting serial pedophiles in jail or making my groceries cheaper, but I can speak to this total uncaring privelege until Trump. There is a very large blind spot that exists between helping those who have been oppressed and feeling it yourself.

@preetbharara.bsky.social I wonder how much the indecision to use injuctions to halt the Administartion are simply part of the "kick the can" to the next election and we will let the "We the people" decide? Obviously, I am only refering to the conservatives, but is this a possible unsaid strategy?

I stand by initial take on this case. That a Marine has been told, trained, and gained real-life experience on using physical techniques and hand-to-hand combat. That while his trigger to act was the typical threatening mental health case on a NY subway, it was his demons that did the killing.
