“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.”

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.
Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

Blanche says Maxwell was transferred for her safety because she received numerous threats. I’m sorry, do you move someone to LOWER security in those instances?
WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her?
BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about
WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it?
BLANCHE: I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons, so every decision they make lands on my desk

Mike Johnson: “We have a long list of things that we know will reduce premiums, increase access & quality of care — the Democrats have zero ideas, zero concepts & zero legislative plans on anything they’ll propose other than just subsidizing the broken system—”

One of the best music venues back then. Lion supermarket to left if I remember correctly. B&H for soup and roll for snack before concert, maybe an egg cream from Gem Spa on corner of St. Mark’s.
Good times.

Not a good way to start the day. Dropped a full bottle of olive oil on my foot a few days ago. Bruised but seemed to be healing.
Last night I did usual pushups and within 2 hours my forefoot swelled up and was very painful. Couldn’t walk. Ice and no sleep. Calling doc to see if I can get x-ray. 🤦

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?
Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Tap a billionaire for their spare change.
Ending a $5 million research study when it is 70% complete does not save $1 million, it wastes $4 million.
When a project loses federal funding before completion, finding alternative resources is challenging. Most philanthropies do not have comparable resources.

The power grab is everywhere. Require them to generate their own power. And restrict/forbid their water use. They will literally suck you dry.
Act to fight data center power grabs! PJM, the power grid operator for the Mid-Atlantic, may force residents to pay around $70 more each month for electricity. Sign MD State Sen Katie Fry Hester's petition against this plan to pass data center costs on to us. Sign at www.protectingratepayers.org ⭐
