Well, if the governor does this, he will never be elected again.
Trump says he may send the National Guard to New Orleans, claiming the city’s crime could be “fixed in 2 weeks.” Gov. Jeff Landry supports it, but local officials push back, citing falling crime rates.

Bloomberg’s daily data for the number of container ships sailing from China to the US. Huge drop in recent weeks.

If your heart is hurting, a pre-dawn walk down Ursuline to the bayou and waiting patiently for the sun to rise does more to keep you on your feet than your phone can.
If it can struggle up another day, so can I.

I read about this a while back. Cancer vaccines, wow…it is good to be reminded of hope in what can feel like a hopeless time.
Thank you, NIH. And also mRNA vaccines, both of which the Right distrusts and is trying to wreck.
90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Beethoven wrote his 3rd Symphony to the revolutionary leader of his time, Napoleon Bonaparte.
When he declared himself emperor, the enraged Beethoven scratched out the dedication on the cover of the symphony so hard that he shredded the paper.
He later dedicated it “to the memory of a great man.”

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

We frankly do not need someone representing our interests whose primary occupation seems to be hanging fairy tale posters in school and finding new ways to kill people on death row, prosecuting children as adults. www.kadn.com/news/local/e...

Trump stiffed Rudy on his legal fees from 2019-21. $2 million. Rudy ran all over the country filing lawsuits & appeals. It cost him his job at law firm, his law license, his apartment & everything he owns. Trump, despite raising over $200 million for it, never paid Rudy A PENNY.

This is what leadership looks like: doing the right thing for people, irrespective of the cost/benefit, irrespective of whether they're "your people."

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

I’ve added @bsky.app to the bottom of the homes screen. Trying to make a go of it. Really looking forward to detaching from Meta artificial people and promoted misinformation and constant, unrelenting marketing.

Well, #NewOrleans, we’re all about to run a little experiment together. Meta’s new “AI users” and decision to not fact-check misinformation is not acceptable to me, so I’m getting rid of Meta accounts…while also trying to run a business that is new and requires social media.
Hope you’re up to it.

Politico is reporting that Ric Grenell offered MAGA influencers five-figure contracts to promote him on social media for Sec of State. I went back and looked and found a bunch within a 3-day window. Here are a few.
