The proposal...represents another potential expansion of President Donald Trump’s willingness to employ the armed forces on American soil. It relies on a section of U.S. Code that allows the commander in chief to circumvent limitations on the military’s use within the United States.
Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest

CCAC is supposed to be independent #climate advisory group to gov't in Ireland, yet it endorses BS livestock industry efforts to dodge methane cuts.

Fun fact: Expert review advised that Teagasc (dominated by dairy farmers) be removed from CCAC as it's biased.

Nice! Pete Buttigieg is ranked at #14 on the top 20 list of Substack influencers in the US.

I don't see any other politicians in the top 20. There are a lot of political commentators on the list, but not politicians.

Trump’s “new numbers” are as fake as his Sharpie hurricane map, masking an economy plagued by higher costs, job losses, and manufacturing decline. We can do without the lies.

You don’t have to print a spy’s name to put them in danger. Sometimes the biggest damage comes from what an adversary can piece together.

Tulsi Gabbard’s release of a redacted House Intel report still puts U.S. sources at risk. New from Brian O’Neill.
