Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Have you tried to persuade a current or former landlord to get a MassSave energy audit, or make Mass-Save reimbursable upgrades?
And did your landlord deny your request?

If we ever get a Dem POTUS again I‘m not looking forward to all these cowards immediately demanding the money back, with interest. Then the GOP, public & press will blame Dems for the higher deficit if they do give it back, and if they don’t, they’ll be 2x as indignant as they ever were about TFG.
Trump can barely fog a mirror, his approval is in the toilet and other institutions have showed that bending the knee only brings them back for more but standing up to them often gets results.

This CBS story is just remarkable. It states that Trump insulted their reporter, and also notes the same thing happened to reporters from Bloomberg and NYT.
Both of those organizations are quoted defending their journalists.
But Bari Weiss and CBS don't lift a finger to defend their own reporter.

Criminal liability attaches for following an order "which a man of ordinary sense and understanding would, under the circumstances, know to be unlawful, or if the order in question is actually known to the accused to be unlawful." U.S. v. Calley (1974)
So the order for the US military to launch these deadly Caribbean boat strikes was straightforwardly illegal under US and international law, immoral under long established standards, and on top of that, terrible strategy.
Not maybe. Not got to check with a lawyer. Unambiguous. Blatant. Deliberate.
