It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

Reform: It Wasn’t Just Trump—It Was the System That Fed Him Your weekly excerpt from one of my books. This week: "The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink"

Donald Trump didn’t emerge from a vacuum. He’s the product of systems—­corrupt, corroded, and increasingly anti-democratic, yes, but systems nonetheless—­that made his rise not just possible but inevitable. If we only focus on removing

Every other country with people in the new war zone notified their citizens and made plans and sent planes for their evacuations.

But not the USA.

Yet another affront to American citizens.

When will the dumbed-down MAGAts awake?

Never, I'm afraid.

Republicans follow this same pattern, over and over, and the American people just go along with it?

Something is evidently very wrong with America currently.

Bird flu emerges as significant threat to migratory wildlife, as species see decline of 5% in just 2 years: Report A new report has warned that 49 per cent of global migratory species populations protected under the Convention of Migratory Species (CMS) are declining, having decreased five per cent in just two years. The interim update on the landmark United Nations State of the World’s Migratory Species of 2024 noted that globally, 24 per cent of species face extinction — an increase of 2 per cent compared to the 2024 report. Viewed as a whole, these updated statistics present a concerning picture: the total number of CMS-listed species that have decreasing population trends now stands at 592, or almost half (49 per cent) of all CMS-listed species, up from the 44 per cent reported in the State of the World’s Migratory Species, the authors said. Bird flu or Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has emerged as a major threat, causing mass mortality in a range of species, namely Critically Endangered African Penguins (Spheniscus demersus), Vulnerable Humboldt Penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) and Near Threatened Peruvian Pelicans (Pelecanus thagus) in South America, Near Threatened Dalmatian Pelicans (Pelecanus crispus) in Europe, and Vulnerable Hooded (Grus monacha) and Red-crowned Cranes (Grus japonensis) in Asia. Mass mortality events have also been recorded in CMS-listed aquatic...

Ding dong the puppy killer is dead.

Her political path from here is bleak: you don’t often come back from “fired by Trump for incompetence” when your entire identity is being the competent Trumpist.

Ding dong the puppy killer is dead.

Hope those awful ads are gone too.

Hope they also oust those horrible tv ads starring the puppy murderer.

Big Tuskers Oh wow, I love these photographs of “big tusker” elephants by Johan Siggesson. I didn’t even know big tuskers were a thing — and they may not be for much longer: The term “Big Tusker

Arresting Photos of Big Tuskers. "The term 'Big Tusker' refers to an elephant with tusks so large they scrape the floor." There are only ~25 of these elephants left in the entire world. [kottke.org]

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

OUTfkngRAGEOUS
"...their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

What’s to stop a group of nations with record climate-related economic losses from eventually penalising the US, just as America has penalised nations that support terrorism? The costs — both human and economic — of the former are already far higher.

America’s abdication of responsibility for global warming will someday come back to bite in the form of retaliatory tariffs or financial sanctions placed on the US by other countries.

13 wallets were identified, 12 opened accounts just days before the attack. The bulk of their bets were placed in the 24 hours leading up to the attack, meaning they were betting on an assault coming within a day.

Betting odds for the day when the US did attack Iran were not like previous days.

I'm so exhausted...

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

I thought the reason was that tRump's a Pedophile accused in the tRump-Epstein Files.

There's no other logical reason other than the criminals tRump and Nut'nYahoo want to stay in power despite the obvious need for their removal; Now is there!
