I speculate that the reason Trump doesn't want war with Musk is because Musk can do to Trump in the courts what Trump has done to others all his life.

Another problem with this country is it’s being run by middle aged men on a comical level of steroids. Which are famous for making people insane.

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

💥 BREAKING: Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches and destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine. The hatches appear to have been opened by remote control, again.

CBP has a short memory--didn't Trump pardon a bunch of people who assaulted cops and now they are in for a big payday?

Always worth listening to @katie0martin.ft.com on.ft.com/4kXL7eE Why we should worry about the rise of stablecoins

A reminder because the media is majorly bungling it: Ru started the war and Ru keeps it up and refuses peace. Every Ru attack is unprovoked and every Ukrainian response is defense. Only Ukraine's actions could be construed as retaliation. Ru's attacks should never be called retaliation.

PAULSEN: “.. the chart below shows YOY% job growth is 'very weak'. With 1.1% job growth, the US has been in a recession or close to one in each of its 12 recessions since 1950.” @dailychartbook.bsky.social

It’ll be interesting how the Trump administration’s remarkable ability to magically bring Abrego García back to the United States will bear on its arguments in other cases about how it really has no ability to influence the detention of others at CECOT.

Argos about to kickoff at Montreal. I just love the McGill (now Molson's) stadium nestled into the side of a volcano. It's the real thing that the newer ballparks fake.

Properly fitted #N95 #masks can filter out most PM2.5 particles, the ones most commonly linked to health effects. You will still smell #smoke since N95's can't stop gases which cause irritation. P100 for more severe situations. #wildfires healthybuildings.hsph.harvard.edu/wildfireresp....

Long, but good

In case you’d like an aperitif of “let them fight” drama.

The Venn diagram of ‘countries in NATO’ and ‘countries Russia has invaded’ has no overlap. The Venn of ‘countries near Russia not in NATO’ and ‘countries Russia has invaded’ is shockingly circular. And yet somehow NATO is to blame!
