The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

In Qatar, Trump’s posture at the dignitary table resembles a man about to shove his own face into a bowl of slop.

Is he too tired to hold his head up?

Is he so bored and disconnected that he can hardly lift his face?

Or is he just waiting for that bowl of slop to be served so he can go home.

The Trump regime is rife with raging racism and white supremacy. These bigots are literally importing advocates of legalized racial segregation (apartheid) and “deporting” people they deem inferior and unworthy based solely on skin color.

For MAGA, it all comes down to melanin.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.

Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.

We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

Romek Marber’s wonderfully elegant cover for the 1963 Penguin Books edition of Georges Simenon’s “Maigret’s Revolver”. It’s a lovely example of how gifted artists rose to the challenge of putting the constraints of the green Penguin detective range covers to pleasing & distinctive use.

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

So proud of @littlelobbyists.bsky.social families showing up strong in D.C. today to #ProtectMedicaid with @caringacross.org . Millions rely on #Medicaid to care for loved ones — and that care is under threat.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.

His argument fails even on its own terms.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

Another round of auto tariffs just went into effect. They could change the industry forever | CNN Business The average car buyer doesn’t think about where the parts in their their vehicle come from – but automakers do.

As of 12:01 am ET today, most auto part imports will come with a 25% import tax. Not a single one of the 10 million cars turned out by US plants last year was built without some imported parts. The tariffs on parts will mean tens of billions of dollars in new costs to American car buyers and owners.

This evening I attended a poignant and moving #VE80 / #VJ80 commemoration concert at Coventry Cathedral with Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

A powerful tribute to those who defeated fascism, and a stark reminder that its threat remains, even here in the UK. We must never stop resisting it.

The analysis shows that 206,000 children will be living in temporary accommodation by 2029 – a 26% increase over five years – while the cost to the taxpayer is set to rise by 71% to £3.9bn a year.

The government's benefits cuts, two-child cap and freeze in Local Housing Allowance are all *false economies*. They don't save money. They merely push spending into different parts of the budget, while causing untold suffering.
Cruel, perfomative and pointless.

It probably hits me extra hard because I studied journalism and taught journalism ethics for several years. But watching the decline of the Washington Post and 60 Minutes/CBS News has been almost unbearable. They were the Gold Standard for decades. It just hurts like hell.
