There are a lot of things that make me mad. Like. A long list. But fake AI videos of wild animals doing cute things that animals do in fact do, make me so unreasonably mad. Should this incite the most rage in my heart, of all the horrible things going on right now? No. But here we are.

The MA Dems in super-safe seats voting yes to give Trump a massive military budget really give away the game

The House just voted for a bloated $900B Pentagon budget despite the fact that the Pentagon can't even pass an audit and despite the fact that Trump is getting ready for a war on Venezuela and despite the fact that so many people are about to lose health care.
Here are the 115 Dem YES votes.

I like the analogy he starts out with.
"I took the bus down here from Dallas this morning . . . If the bus driver had told me he was 60% sure he could get me to Houston safely, I wouldn't have gotten on the bus."
"I took the bus down here from Dallas this morning . . . If the bus driver had told me he was 60% sure he could get me to Houston safely, I wouldn't have gotten on the bus."
Today it was my honor to present oral argument in the 14th Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas, on behalf of my client.
The issue is whether a trial judge in a criminal case can tell the jury that "beyond a reasonable doubt" can be as low as "60 percent."

Remember, part of Trump's National Security Strategy is to have "A resilient national infrastructure."
This is what Crash Duffy is doing rather than making the US flight network more robust.

On December 7, 1942, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dorie Miller manned anti-aircraft artillery & tended to the wounded under heavy fire; he was awarded the Navy Cross, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. Navy at the time. This American hero of Pearl Harbor was killed in action 2 years later.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.
