Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

Two good newsletters from @billmckibben.bsky.social...first, Australia has so much solar power that it will require utilities to give people three hours of free electricity every day: billmckibben.substack.com/p/free-elect...
Free Electricity. Like, at no cost. For everyone. Now.
Let's talk about affordability, abundance, and Australia--and why thanks to Trump we can't have nice things

Local leaders agree: Military troops and armed federal agents don’t make our communities safer.

What does is funding programs that address the root causes of violence and ensuring police are accountable to the people they serve.
Trump Says Federal Deployments Make Cities Safer. Local Officials Disagree.
In Chicago, Memphis and elsewhere, residents allege a surge of federal agents and military troops is making it harder to police and prosecute crime.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

“All white-majority countries around the world are facing this threat,” said Jacob Ware, an extremism expert at the Council on Foreign Relations.
“A country long defined by its own ­history of political violence, paramilitarism, and vigilantism, Ireland now faces a different kind of threat. This time, the targets are non-white immigrants and Muslims.”

The BBC edit was unfortunate, but of course Trump fanned the flames that led to the Capitol riot. Indeed, as he watched it unfold on television, he interjected. Not to call off his supporters, but to double down on his attack on Pence. Our short doc: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWJV...
