i think it's pretty clear at this point that trump cannot be dissuaded from the idea that asylum simply means that these are insane people from other countries entering ours
The thing about unchecked power is it often makes grave mistakes. One of the reason Putin decided on the folly of war with Ukraine was the lack of those willing to tell him he was making a grave error. I fear @realDonaldTrump will stumble into a war, costing troop’s their lives.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

Prime Minister Mark Carney announces that Canada will recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September.
Carney says this move comes amid Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and its relentless war on Gaza.

high levels of supercommuting is a symptom of broken housing markets, AI can't fix bad zoning
California has more super commuters than any other state, with over 300,000 people spending at least 3 hours a day on the road.
By using GenAI to pinpoint the worst traffic bottlenecks, we hope to find real solutions and make these commutes faster and easier.
