Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense.

Thanks

Wish the climate movement would make clear we could solve the climate crisis in two steps:

1️⃣ Quit fossil fuels
2️⃣ Quit beef

Instead, Americans sort their recycling & wash their metal straws & think they’re Doing Their Part, then climb in their SUVs to drive across the exurbs to buy steaks
"Climate smart" beef was never more than a marketing fantasy
In response to a lawsuit, Tyson will drop the label and abandon its "net zero" claims.
