Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

I'm currently standing on stage every day for a month at #edfringe and pretty much saying this. We have to actively end the bad stuff.
What I don't quite have the time to discuss in detail is that while long-term oil & gas are likely now unprofitable but short-term the volatility keep them going

We have to be purposeful about ending the use of fossil fuels because they’re not going to end themselves anytime soon. While wind and solar are cheaper, they are not as profitable. Therein lies the problem.

If a group of armed thugs come into my neighborhood and attempt to kidnap one of my neighbors, isn’t it legal for me to take whatever action is necessary to stop them? Isn’t that what “stand your ground” laws are meant for?

Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. He demonstrated that in televised living color in our Oval Office today by disgracefully attacking a democratic leader suffering a murderous invasion by the Russian thug. What a stain on America. Slava Ukraini.

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today.
The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office.
That's traumatizing.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

I missed the news that Kanzi passed away last month at the age of 44. He was a bonobo & a hugely important individual in the study of comparative intelligence and language use. I first read about him in Sue Savage-Rumbaugh's book more than 30 years ago, and am moved to learn of his passing! R.I.P.

It was hard to hear many of the speakers. The PA system wasn’t up to the task, but it didn’t matter. We, the people, aren’t being led so much as we are leading. The most unifying moment I felt was when the chant went up from the crowd, “This is what democracy looks like.” Indeed.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Why is the media talking like there’s some sense to be made of this? We have a an arrogant old madman at the wheel, probably suffering from some level of dementia, and intent on driving us off a cliff! No sense. No logic.
