It occurs to me that the only way the US would ever be able to legislate gun control would be to mandate at a federal level that anyone who owned a gun carried liability insurance of a certain level for anything that happened with the gun
and then let capitalism take its course

Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Case in point I haven’t saved much for retirement in my 50s because I stayed part time when my parents were declining, then had a special needs kid but special needs childcare isn’t real, and my schizophrenic nephew keeps being denied disability and is out of money.

Goldman on Trump's "Gestapo-like tactics" -- "We don't live in an authoritarian country where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people. That's the stuff of authoritarian states. That's not how the US operates. And that's really where this is breaking down."

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."
