Perfect example though of how corrupting tariffs are. Every town & business becomes dependent on little tariff carve outs, meaning that buying influence with Senators becomes mandatory to stay in business. The tariff is the mother of trusts!!!

Stop calling them conservatives. You keep falling in the trap of accepting their language. They are radicals, fascists, and kleptocrats. Pick one.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

This is why we can’t have nice things

Steve Brown, 35, vice president of partnerships for the city's minor-league soccer team and owner of a sports memorabilia store, said he pays $3,600 a month for a one-bedroom apartment downtown. That's "way more" than his rent in Atlanta a few years ago, he said.
He's leaning toward Collins but said he hasn't paid much attention to the race.

"How is somebody supposed to survive?" said Jennifer Perry, 29, a convenience-store assistant manager pregnant with her third child, who moved this month to the state capital of Augusta after six years in Portland because she and her fiancé couldn't find an affordable apartment there. "I don't understand why it's the way it is, and why we're worried about everything else."

“The lifeblood of MAGA is sadism: a desire to inflict pain on women, minorities, LGBTQ people. A lot of people don't necessarily feel comfortable saying that on an individual basis, but when they go to a rally, they can chant hateful, racist things and get that glee, and they're kind of anonymous.”

"America first" means waiting until outbreaks of disease get here and then also not doing anything about them here

CLOSING SHOP — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has started closing its offices abroad as President Donald Trump’s “America First” approach to foreign policy takes hold, Carmen reports.

Current and former CDC officials say they expect more than a dozen foreign offices to close in the next few years. The agency’s offices in Angola and South Sudan closed last week, and the Zimbabwe office is set to close at year’s end.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

Russia's oil-and-gas revenue last month was more than a fifth lower than the same month last year. Ukraine's strikes on Russia's energy industry, especially refineries, is taking a noticeable toll. Russia won't voluntarily stop attacking. The aggression stops when the war machine can't keep it up.
