Starting tomorrow, it would take launching 28 rockets every single day for 15 straight years with 20 passengers per rocket to put 3 million people in space by 2040. Right now, we can barely support 10.

Bezos is delusional if he thinks that can happen. This billionaire class needs dismantling.

I had to see it in print..

“..Trump..said..he would give the white stone panels to the museum if the (removal cost) did not prove prohibitive. But John Baron, a vice president of the Trump Organization, said after the demolition yesterday..the company had decided not to preserve the sculptures..”

Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social · 15h

Trump isn't new to destroying historic art/architecture. He notoriously destroyed the Bonwit Teller sculpltures when he built Trump Tower. The Met was trying to get him to allow them to be removed to the Met. A friend looked up the Times article from the time. Rather predictably the spokesman ...

Boat strikes put US service members in legal jeopardy:

"Some junior officers have asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general or JAGs, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes .... It does not appear that such memos were furnished, said one of the people."

Top Democrats demand details of spy agencies’ role in boat strikes

Democrats are demanding that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard share intelligence on lethal operations against alleged narcotics traffickers.

I fear Newsom’s going to need to consolidate his security assets eventually anyway, as will all governors in Trump’s sites. This could have the effect of cleaving off municipal departments from supporting illegal federal actions. No guarantees, but if DOJ Kavanaugh-stops voters, midterms are toast.

That said, I want Newsom to deploy state troopers to the polling places to guarantee our right to vote. Federal intimidation and arrest of voters casting their ballots on Election Day is the reddest of lines.

This is our vote. Should Gov. Newsom deploy state troopers to guard polling places and protect voters from irregular, masked hooligans?

Let no one on this thread be the first to say, “California mostly votes by mail anyway.” Do not be that person.
