Nobody gets pardons if he leaves feet-first. If I was in his Cabinet of Baddies, I'd have required the pardon before accepting the job.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

I'm but a listener, not in the business, but a radio owned by the state and run by employees of the state who are constrained to follow state law in deed and word, doesn't seem like either a "public radio station" nor a journalistic enterprise. "State-run media" is something else, isn't it?

I was surprised to learn that Alabama Public Radio is not just hosted by the University, but are employees of the university, and thus the state. My local stations are non-profit legal orgs, and while some lease/share/contract with government orgs, have their own editorial control.

Our nation’s existence is based upon the fundamental principle that the people are sovereign, and that government derives its power from their consent. SCOTUS sacrifices sovereign consent to allow the Executive to create a false crisis & intervene in elections. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/u...

A huge win for nurses, patients, and the Lewiston community: CMMC nurses voted to join the Maine State Nurses Association! After enduring an appalling union-busting campaign, these nurses stood together for safer staffing, better equipment, and a meaningful voice. I’m proud to stand with them.

To be clear, Mr. Attorney General, the 1st Cir struck down your policy after full adversary briefing on 9/18. Rather than seek clarification on whether it took effect immediately, you tried to fly still more people to 3d countries so it would be too late for them. On 9/23 it found out & stopped you.
Without even allowing the government a chance to respond, and in the dark of night, a federal appeals court blocked us from conducting all third-country removals of illegal aliens, an entirely legal and invaluable tool to stem the tide of illegal immigration. We will immediately seek relief from the Supreme Court, which previously granted a stay in this very same case.

Southpaw adds: Melania and Trump each look into the camera lens; Trump is intensely bug eyed and stiff while Melania looks desolated and betrayed. Xi watches them impassively.
