Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

BBC Russian Service journalist Ilya Abishev speculates (at 12:39) that the weekend’s Bryansk and Kursk bridge collapses (still unclear if caused by explosions) might have been orchestrated by Kyiv to distract Russia’s security apparatus ahead of Operation Spiderweb. www.bbc.com/russian/podc...

Good piece, but what I'm shocked by with this ruling is how it completely reverses the Loper Bright ruling that was imposed just one year ago, which stripped the deference federal agencies are accorded by the courts. This ruling fully re-imposes that deference, but just for NEPA.

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Senator Pat Jehlen (2nd Middlesex) needs a primary challenge. I understand that people will often oppose development near them. I think it’s wildly inappropriate for an elected official who lives in the area to use their platform to spearhead the opposition.

Not going to comment on the horrible news from Boulder, but a general observation: Since October 7th, in U.S. discourse the interests of the hostages in Gaza and the interests of Palestinian civilians in Gaza have too often been characterized as opposed to one another. They are in fact aligned.

This right here is why people need to be taking the OMB budget proposal I wrote about even more seriously than “normal.” Impoundment means they will do what they want regardless of Congress. This is not just a budget proposal - this is a statement of intent. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

Unacceptable. They're also using lot of resources to arrest people for interfering with immigration raids. I guess when you're no longer investigating public corruption, you have more time to hunt down ladies who make it slightly more difficult to arrest immigrants showing up for court hearings.

Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

If even a fraction of this is true, it’s a remarkable achievement & a mark of how far Ukr deep strike has come. ‘An operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has hit ‘more than 40" Russian bombers at air bases “in the rear of the Russian Federation”…’ kyivindependent.com/enemy-bomber...
