When this happened at Bear Stearns in 2007 two days later the bank collapsed. If Blackrock follows a similar path we are headed into a global meltdown of all major financial markets. www.reuters.com/business/bla...
This is such a great interview. Thank you for sharing it. My favourite line is “Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war.” I think this is so true.
Measles vaccination coverage has been declining 0.3-0.4 percent/yr.
Declining measles vaccination rates could lead to 17,000 infections and $1.5 billion in health care costs annually over the next five years. That ain’t cheap. An expensive gamble.

We have known this for decades - it’s much cheaper to house the homeless than to have them living on the streets. Conservatives claim to be about fiscal responsibility - but they’re just caught up in hard right cultural nonsense
Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
KNOX NEWS LETTER: “@RepTimBurchett, I need you to follow up with your fraud investigation group — This is about a $143 million contract awarded to a company with direct ties to Kristi Noem. The corruption in this administration runs deep and wide.” www.knoxnews.com/story/opinio...
Trump and Hegseth know exactly what happened with the bombing of the girls school. This “investigation” is a smoke screen because they know the attention span of our media cycles, so they will drag it out until they stop getting asked about it. Which is usually 48 hours or so.
I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
"measurement issues" if they change the way they measure them or stop measuring them at all, they can make it look like there is no problem
Make it make sense.

Billionaires & corporations must be stopped from secretly buying our elections.
Dark money front groups must be required to disclose their donors.
And foreign money should have no place in our elections.
The DISCLOSE Act helps reform a broken system and ensure government of, by, and for the people.
This appalling White House video game imagery on Iran illustrates what @teotten1.bsky.social and I discuss on today's pod: The role of fantasy, unreality and sadism-as-entertainment in MAGA politics.

Seems less than ideal.
This is going to hit American pocketbooks hard.
New research: Nearly all Americans will pay more in taxes this year — except the 1%.
Republicans are making everything more expensive for us in order to give tax cuts to their rich friends.

A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch.
Why?
Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 — which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes.
"Efficiency."
Vaccines are well established. They were most likely vaccinated themselves as children. We need a children's rights movement because children shouldn't have to die of horrible lingering deaths because their parents CHOSE to believe some random person on the internet over doctors
Bolton Council says new early intervention schemes have reduced spending in children’s services by over £1 million

Isn't that exactly what they want AI for to target people that humans might refuse to target?
Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.
A six-year-old girl was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car in Michigan. Four other children under the age of 12 were in the car with her.
No child should ever have access to an unsecured gun. This never should have happened.
“You’re a U.S. senator!”
Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽
This should go great
It seems like any Democrat intending to fund more missiles for Hegseth to play with should at least get some answers from the Pentagon first about the bombing of the girls elementary school.
Unless you want to be responsible for financing the next one without any due diligence.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
Excellent explainer of the federal school voucher program. tcf.org/content/comm...
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
