The governor won’t deploy national guard except to brutalize those pushing back against ice let’s be very clear. Walz will not deploy the national guard against the feds because he is afraid it would start a hot war and I understand that. It’s time to rip the band aid off now and let the cards fall
INBOX: Banking industry rhetoric getting incrementally more heated:
“.. One surefire way to make life less affordable for Americans would be to pass the misguided Durbin-Marshall credit card mandate ..”

It almost goes without saying, but this is illegal. The name "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" is established by law and the board doesn't have the power to change it. 20 USC 3 §§ 76h - 76s.
I’m looking forward to them performatively chiseling off his name and dropping the letters into a dumpster.
And then, to complete the metaphor, setting it on fire.
Keith Richards vetoed a planned Rolling Stones stadium tour for 2026. In a statement, the band’s rep said that Keef ‘didn’t think he could commit’ to the rigors of such a long trek on the road
cartoon shows a flying saucer towing a sled filled with toys and a team of reindeer through the sky, over a snow covered farm and under a full moon. santa claus is in the flying saucer, next to a blue cylinder wearing a santa hat and scarf. The cylinder has a face and arms, and has "NH3" written on its chest in a Shell Oil logo. The flying saucer is being flown by a ruddy white man wearing a santa hat, a tan shirt and brown gloves. the words "high-nutrient fertilizer" are written on his shirt.
Remember kids, it's not *really* Christmas until you see Santa Claus riding in a flying saucer with the two avatars of industrial fertilizer.
When the President definitely respects Congress's constitutional war powers.
David Brooks is now the third alleged Jeffery Epstein associate at the New York Times.
This potentially includes A.G. Sulzberger, the current chairman of the NYT board.
The NYT published this piece by David Brooks about Epstein less than a month ago.
Why did their executive leadership allow this?
The chutzpah of the congratulations to JFK at the end is why she gets the big bucks. What an honor for JFK's family and fans.

Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.
Laid down my brushes over five years ago because #essentialtremors. A couple weeks ago I said fk it. Embrace it. First was a walking stick carving. Then an assemblage. Today I picked up the brush and thought who gives a fuck if a dollop lands two inches from where I intend?! #essentialtremorartist.

Great reporting and a knockout final line:
“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”
