Perhaps Darth Vader can send a thank you card to Andreessen Horowitz — a VC that is one of the major investors in Flock. Andreessen Horowitz is also now one of the biggest political spenders in the 2026 midterms — pumping millions into super PACs for crypto, AI, and Trump. Always follow the money.

Incredible content. But Nithya still has a HUGE hill to climb, because, while plenty of young Angelenos are champing at the bit to vote for her, Karen Bass has a huge base of support with the Black community in LA and they canvass and door knock like none other. I think we're getting Bass 2

Mark Carney has asked Canada’s provincial leaders to end their bans on the retail sale of US alcoholic beverages. But at least one premier says if the booze comes back, consumers should avoid buying it.

US Wants Its Booze Back in Canada’s Stores But Some Say Don’t Buy It
Prime Minister Mark Carney has asked Canada’s provinces to end their bans on the retail sale of US alcoholic beverages. It’s a necessary step to getting a trade deal with President Donald Trump across the finish line.

WGA RESPONDS TO STATEMENT FROM LA MAYOR BASS ON PARAMOUNT-WARNER BROS. MERGER

We are disappointed that Mayor Bass has chosen to join Paramount's pressure campaign on public enforcers, to
push through a merger that is being rightfully challenged as illegal and will lead to job losses in the entertainment industry. Her statement comes on the heels of a county report estimating thousands of jobs will be lost if the merger proceeds.
Industry workers deserve a mayor who believes in upholding the law and protecting the working people of Los Angeles, not serving the interests of powerful corporations.Paramount has created a false choice for entertainment industry workers: The company argues that enforcing antitrust law hurts us by creating uncertainty, which is of their own making as the company attempts to dominate the industry. We reject the claim that beleaguered industry workers must choose the possibility of a job today, in exchange for the certainty of job losses
tomorrow.

We found marriage to be a constraining social construct for us. With marriage & being husband & wife you fall into social roles that come with the entire society's expectations of what you should do. And we don't need that. We just need to be us & in love for life.

Appreciate the deep look. Turning medical care into a fraud narrative has real stakes for patients and providers. As someone building tools that parse claims, I’m always watching how thin allegations get dressed up as evidence. Which flaw felt most consequential?

A doctor we spoke with who treats transgender patients told us the report appeared aimed at undermining faith in medicine and our institutions. They noted there are much easier ways to “scam the healthcare system” because the trans community is massively underserved. That’s not where the money is.

Then there’s the extremely charged language. For example, the report deploys the term “sex-rejecting procedures,” which we at Important Context have previously reported originated with a Christian Right group. The term has no basis in medical/clinical practice.

Let’s start with the authors. One author runs an SPLC-designated anti-LGBTQIA+ hate group. Two hail from the Independent Women’s Forum, an anti-feminist group. Another—one of just three medical professionals attached to the document—edited a book on how to recognize demonic possession.

They have not 'ruined the research tools', they just slowed research. Research continues inside and outside of the US. All over the world. The loss of time is painful, but scientific breakthroughs will still happen (sometimes with US researchers who were welcomed in more science-friendly nations).
