I don’t know how medical professionals are going to be able to treat patients without the information they require from the CDC. The CDC is sometimes our only warning system about certain diseases.

Superb views & Simon would have loved to have tried his hand at hang-gliding. Pity he didn't really because he managed to lock us out the car today.

Everybody so pleased to see us. J. should come tomorrow. He is very down, has lost his appeal. Bridget went back today, itching with her rash. I have marked the chalet you can just see a white window, but we hope to have the cowshed on the water's edge next year.

And who stands to gain from pushing AI?

The owner of Time, billionaire Marc Benioff.

When billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Trump calls affordability a "hoax."

Meanwhile, a Joint Economic Committee report estimates that his tariffs have cost the average household an extra $1,200 this year.

Tariffs are regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than the rich.

BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place.

Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.

Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.

Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

I believe that @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has a better understanding about what's going on with the world (and importantly with Trump) than most people do. She's been right about a lot even before Trump got elected the first time.

What is happening up north in the Skagit Valley should be a terrifying reminder for us all. Historic flooding. Evacuating 78,000 people. As an emergency manager, this is a nightmare. And don’t get me started on the role of ODOT if we have a situation like this evolve here. I’m real fun at parties.

The Kremlin likes to exercise rhetorical dominance over Trump and they say this in the safe knowledge that we won’t invade or that if we do it will be a disaster. Trump might think of Putin as a friend but that’s not how Russia sees the US. The US is to be humiliated, fragmented, and weakened.
I’m totally lost. I thought we were invading Venezuela. And now allies with Russia. So the friend of my “friend”
is…?
"The Russian President expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people and confirmed his support for [the Maduro] government's course in defense of the country's sovereignty."
