Book concept: People start finding books in a Little Free Library that were never written or published in this world. Some are exactly what the "borrower" needs. Some are a delight. But some are dangerous. And the Little Free Library just might have a sinister agenda...

I will stack up Carl Sagan or Neil deGrasse Tyson against any - and I mean ANY - religious figure for wisdom, perspective and compassion.

Good article by Aziz Huq in The Atlantic (which I can’t gift from a mobile app) about the Nazis’s maintaining a capitalist economy, governed by stable laws, while building an alternative lawless state to realize Hitler’s radical autocratic dreams. Huq suggests Trump is doing this in America!

EXCLUSIVE: The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once: Congress must immediately act. That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

So Elon Musk, a foreign-born individual who has not been elected, vetted by Congress, or passed a security clearance, can access gov’t computer systems including private payment records & personnel files? Imagine if a Dem prez gave George Soros the same power. Dem electeds need to yell about this!

Remember when Hillary got pilloried for using a private email server because it compromised gov't info? Musk's team is allegedly moving sensitive data onto their own servers. We need Dem Congress people on TV shouting about this and we need rallies & protests all over this country!

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.
