Trump 9 points underwater *IN TEXAS.* It's literally impossible to tell how the media would cover a Dem President with equivalently low approval ratings (because there's never been one before) but you'd be hearing LAME DUCK every 15 seconds

if you want to see normally sclerotic do-nothing local governments suddenly snap into action, do some quietly beneficial tactical urbanism type thing like this and watch how quickly they race to remove it

"We can't address this until people stop annoying me on the internet" seems to be the driving philosophy at The Atlantic and most editorial pages.

Rowling signed the Harper’s Letter, which lamented, “it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought.” Are ANY of her co-signatories — some follow me — going to speak up about her crusade against trans people?

This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.

CNN interviewing James Carville in 2026 about the midterms

“.. The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump's family business.” @reuters.com $COF www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Today's cartoon by Dennis Goris:

One of my favorite things recently is James Carville FaceTiming into centrist festivals from his death bed with no recline to complain about any Democrat under the age of 60. Invariably his corpse winds up on Fox News. Master of communications right here.

I know this isn't going to stop but I'm fed up with the rest of us going along with the idea that people in tech know more than just tech. FTX could have had serious advisors who know something about the world but instead the richest people gave teenagers billions to play with.

Institutions can now get faster access to President Trump's Truth Social Posts for $100,000/month 🚨🚨

The "Now we know the market was not the source, it was the amplifier" gotcha quote from Fauci's January 26, 2020 journal entry is really misleading (as well as being stripped from its context from the very fluid early days of an emerging situation).

1/x Just FYI, for those who didn't know: The first head-on challenge to the US gov't's authority to ban queer marriage was in 1970. Less than 1 year after Stonewall, on May 8, 1970, James McConnell and Richard Baker got hitched and then, presumably, went home and boinked their brains out.

Remarkable: Dems have now pulled even with the GOP *on immigration* in two new national polls. A third finds Trump 22 points underwater on the the issue, and *32 points* underwater among independents. Trump has absolutely destroyed the GOP advantage on immigration. newrepublic.com/article/2138...

For our mega-survey on populist attitudes, we asked whether people would prefer a more multi-party system or a two-party system. The former blew the latter out of the water. Asked about specific reforms to get there, people are less sure. Also, Trump populists are the most fond of the status quo.

I keep coming back to this point — the fight against satellite constellations is a fight about radio frequency spectrum. It is everything to these operators. Here, #SpaceX is nudging the regulator, the FCC, to punish an EU company because the EU preserved spectrum for EU orgs.

SpaceX Pushes FCC to Target Eutelsat OneWeb in Satellite Dispute With EuropeEutelsat OneWeb needs FCC authorization for a 528-satellite constellation, but SpaceX wants the FCC to make good on a threat to retaliate against policies that favor EU companies.au.pcmag.com

Yes! This is how all countries should treat the USA’s attempted dominance of the global commons (Earth Orbit) by allowing the FCC to approve spectrum allocation without considering … you know …. everyone else! Starlink is the #SpaceX cash cow and blocking spectrum harms the business model!

EU to favour European satellite services to head off Musk’s StarlinkThe EU's decision to give European satellite operators priority could risk a backlash from the Trump administration. #EuropeNewswww.euronews.com

This is pretty god damn bleak. Amnesty has withstood pressure from murderous dictators and genocidal regimes and yet they caved to lawfare from JK Rowling. This effectively means no domestic UK organization can criticize Rowling or GC orgs without risk of being destroyed by endless lawfare.
