Oh, gawd. Meanwhile on CNN (note that I changed the channel rather than witness the Joe betrayal again) they are talking about Trump ending the Ukraine war and earning the Nobel Peace Prize. Is there no safe harbor from such obeisance and idiocy?

Meanwhile this is terrible news for the internet and freedom of expression. Carr is already trying to force platforms to carry right-wing propaganda. Compelled speech is not free speech.

As my wife points out: So much for healthy eating.
By my calculation, RFK's ingesting 1,260 calories, 64 grams fat, 2,115 mg sodium, 75 grams sugar. Multiply that for Trump's tray. (Yes, I'm procrastinating other work.)

Der Spiegel beats the #BrokenTimes and #BrokenPost with its appropriate news judgment. I don't think this needs translation.

None of this is surprising. Trump is not just trolling government, he is-- as we have know--out to destroy it.
