While using the conjugation “Chicago about to” which is from AAVE. What a time to be alive.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I think that it’s bad that the Secretary of Defense is openly trashing the concept of legality regarding military operations.
Hegseth: "Maximum lethality -- not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We're gonna raise up warriors. Not just defenders."

AI's water consumption is a problem for Arizona water. But a far, far bigger problem is our decision to grow water-intensive cow food in a desert

Arizona’s Water Is Vanishing Before AI Gets a Crack at It
Actual farms, not the data center variety, are sucking up groundwater more quickly than surface water from reservoirs such as Lake Mead and Lake Powell.

Something needs to be clarified: BOYCOTTS DO NOT HAVE END DATES.
The boycott against Target is working because it does not have an end date, these large corporations can take a 6 day hit.
There must be a demand and a consequence.
We cannot not allow people to co-opt terms.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
NEWS:
Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."
We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.
One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid.
"Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

"Internal proposals to release the food remain on hold, awaiting sign-off from the Office of Foreign Assistance, now headed by 28-year-old Elon Musk appointee, Jeremy Lewin."

Trump fired over 1,000 National Park staff in February, and most still haven’t been reinstated. The $45 million he’s wasting on a military parade for his birthday could have paid their salaries for over a year.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

ICYMI Musk wears a flak jacket and then wraps one of his children around his head for sniper protection. I wonder how his children feel about being used as human shields. Explains why he needs a pipeline of kids the right size for this
