It’s believed the gunman posed as a police officer. I guess that’s one possibility. I can think of others and it worries me that the reporting by AP is just going with the “posing as” narrative.

What’s the point of being an expert on some topic if you can’t push back against incorrect and naive understandings in your chosen field of study? Fear of reprisals for stating known facts and good working explanations is taking us in the wrong direction.

Well, another round of stock manipulation by the Administration. This time driving prices up. Daytraders with money and advance info on what the President will announce are likely making a killing. I hope SOMEONE is watching.

Is anyone watching the Trump family’s stock transactions and how closely they track to the President’s various tariff threats and revisions? Anyone watching the same for Elon and the various Cabinet officials close to Trump? A billionaire who knows they could move stock prices predictably…

A partial ceasefire to not target energy infrastructure. Cynical me would have liked to see a cessation of targeting civilians. But sure, this has the appearance of something that could be interpreted as progress. Of a sort.

Federal “return to the office” is not going well. People are being forced to drive more than the cap of 50 miles because it’s being interpreted as “straight line distance” not actual shortest route. They are showing up to places with no space for them, no power outlets, and no connectivity.
