Amidst all the atrocities taking place in the U.S., please don't forget the imminent threat of being robbed of our public lands. Once this happens, to paraphrase Heather Cox Richardson, we will never get them back. (Sample letter to U.S. senators included in article.)
The Senate Vote That Could Change Public Lands Forever
This week Republicans are pushing a legal maneuver that would undo a century of public land protections — starting with America’s most beloved wilderness.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

If Russian propagandists are fantasising about joining forces with America to fight Europe there is something fundamentally wrong with America.
Russian propagandist Solovyev fantasizes about a large-scale war in Europe,with the idea of a "united Russian-American army"fighting the EU:
"I don’t rule out the possibility of a war unfolding in the European theater of military operations -a united Russian-American army against the army of the EU

The International Auschwitz Committee is calling for a ban on Germany’s Far Right AfD, Der Spiegel reports.
Eva Umlauf, an Auschwitz survivor and the committee’s President, said the AfD attacks democracy and uses Nazi-era references that are unbearable for Holocaust survivors.

I notice US media is running with the White House line that the Jobs Report was “better than expected” - Navarro’s ploy yesterday to set a really low bar worked. But having your foot amputated is “better than expected” if they told you it was the whole leg and 130,000 extra jobs is historically low.
