Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.
And now…again.

Every American should feel daily shame that we have allowed ourselves to not only be represented by these people, but that they are using this position to destabilize the world, kill innocent people, and act as a rogue state.
Let that shame be the fuel to act, to disrupt, and to defeat them.

I took Amtrak from Ann Arbor to Chicago today. A disappointing experience compared to taking a train in Europe or Japan.

there is zero chance the Yankees failed to turn a profit in any year, but especially in 2025 when they were coming off a World Series appearance. If an MLB owner says he lost money, that's like me saying I can fly. You should insist on proof.
(I can't fly, just so no one asks me to demonstrate.)

Mike Johnson agrees that Trump is “unhinged” and “unwell”
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Investors are backing enough LNG tanker capacity to put the world on track for 4C of warming. This is when we're on track for 3C of warming and aiming for well below 2C. Investors are backing assets that'd be stranded even under the worst climate scenarios. www.businessgreen.com/news/4519373...
Study: $48bn at risk of being written off as LNG tanker orders rise 300 per cent
New analysis warns LNG tanker oversupply could leave investors and shipping operators with stranded assets as clean energy transition gathers pace

A story to watch. Lots of uncertainty: “the rapid changes 1) contradict the prevailing expectation of anthropogenic-driven freshening and 2) are unprecedented in the satellite record. This suggests that current understanding and observations may be insufficient to accurately predict future changes.”

This really cannot be said enough. The only two major internal crisis's in the US are combatting climate change and affording healthcare.
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

A woman inquired whether any of her Doge money had been deposited yet. The banker asked her to clarify. She said "you know, all this money they're saving we're supposed to get deposited in our account."
