We are watching the same lame-ass refusal to call out POTUS for not acting with a sense of urgency in a moment when the United States Constitution is about to be shredded as Putin laughs that we watched the last 4 years as people refused to call out AG Garland for his absence of urgency. We are.

NYC is on fire because Eric Adams took a hatchet to the Parks Department budget, firing 51 forestry specialists who remove the dead trees and invasive species most likely to ignite during dry periods.
Eric Adams's Budget Cuts Have Set Up New York City's Parks to Burn
By cutting the exact people meant to keep the city's parks free from fallen, dead trees and keep the forests healthy, the mayor has set up a tinderbox that's already igniting.

Since there are so many new people arriving who are looking for their people, how about we do a little ‘meet and greet’?

This is why I am making my way over to friendlier, less rigged skies here. Why play on an unlevel field?

I don't mind this straightforward economic article (gift link) except they already had several articles crediting Trump with rises in stock indices and the dollar. Keeping with journalistic standards, it should be:
TRUMP SLUMP: S&P 500 EARNINGS FORECAST CONTINUE SLIDE SINCE AUGUST
TRUMP SLUMP: S&P 500 EARNINGS FORECAST CONTINUE SLIDE SINCE AUGUST
Souring S&P 500 Profit Outlook a Bad Sign for Stock Market Rally
Wall Street analysts are quickly scaling back their forecasts for Corporate America’s earnings growth over the next year, which could pump the brakes on the blistering stock market rally before long.

🚨 NBC is reporting that Trump’s transition team is making a list of officers involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal for possible court-martial. The goal is to bring charges of treason.

Some critics claim people are fleeing X for BlueSky because they want to be in their own echo chamber. I don’t think that’s true. We just don’t want to be trapped in an InfoWars-QAnon nuthouse, which is Elon Musk’s X.

On election night Marc Thiessen thought it was SHAMEFUL that Kamala Harris didn't concede as soon as Trump declared victory. She conceded the next day. Trump still hasn't conceded the 2020 election - which he LOST - which caused a riot on our Capitol - Shameful indeed.

I mean, there are people who kind of are climate skeptics - and I would say Trump is one - in that they don't think "climate" has any real meaning.
There's just weather. That's the only thing that actually matters. It's concrete. You can experience it.
Climate is just some abstract idea for nerds.

“Climate skeptic” is such a funny phrase when you mean skeptic of climate *change*.
