It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Making Smog Great Again!
What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

Ahhh, not good!
An air traffic controller at Newark Airport just told MSNBC that "it is not safe to fly" in or out of Newark, which impacts how America travels.
The industry in the U.S. is short 3,000 air traffic controllers and struggling to maintain working parts for planes.
That's terrifying. People will die.

Just a heads up that due to the tariff situation there are a lot of medical supply shortages right now. For example, a lot of the tubes that we use for laboratory testing - like any blood draws - are not made in the United States. Hopefully nobody needed any medical testing or treatment!

Marc Elias is a true hero to American Democracy. We should do everything we can to support and protect him and his team.
Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy.
Thank you professor.🙏

hello!! I know everyone is busy/the news remains bad, but if I may distract for a moment? There's a man named Ander Louis from the Yarra Valley whose sincere passion project is translating War & Peace into Bogan Australian. He's done Books 1 & 2. This is not a spoof. www.amazon.com/dp/108730656...

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
