Very cool—thanks for the update! Today I got gassed by the federal government two times within a few blocks of my house
I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

Met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos earlier today.
We talked about the tests NATO is facing, and Canada’s resolute support for the Alliance. We’re quadrupling our defence spending — including scaling up our investments in Arctic security to defend the northwestern flank.

A group of masked men jump out of a vehicle, abduct a teenage girl, and no one does anything.
A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

Reposting for the afternoon and evening audience. What would it cost for Canada to set up and run its own domestic airport security fast pass? Not nearly as much as you (or I) might think! #cdnpoli #PBO #Canada
Here is the link to the PBO report. TLDR? The PBO estimates that setting up and running a domestic verified traveller program would cost $7 million over 5 years. That’s predicated on a cost of $50 CAN per application. (The NEXUS card, by contrast, costs $120 US, plus travel costs.)

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better.

I really do think we underestimate the odds of Trump tweeting I DECLARE ANNEXATION and the rest of NATO going "nuh-uh" and then nobody having the slightest clue what to do after that.
SOF, especially US SOF with their vast array of enablers succeed dramatically because of those enablers, and their heightened training and equipment when relative to their usual third-world adversaries exacerbates the advantage in their given mission profile.

The most important technological revolution of our lifetime has nothing to do with AI:
Important to realize also that, once constructed, solar infrastructure just keeps working*, for decades, with very little additional cost. There's no need for a constant stream of inputs like fossil fuels.

Check this one fact out:
"In 2024, the total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear plant and all of the renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year."

This is why I always emphasize that "the media just likes Trump for clicks and ratings" is not accurate. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is the worst in political history and instead of sensationalizing it, they repeatedly minimize it and downplay it despite massive public interest
public perception says mainstream media is sensationalist, lusts for scandal, will make anything up to sell papers and get clicks etc.,
and then this particular president does like 10 scandals a day and mainstream media insists on describing his actions in the most uninteresting way possible
