In a rare comment about the scale of Russia's war casualties, the deputy defense minister said the wounded had become "drivers" of the industry.
The White House event was held to support an initiative on artificial intelligence led by First Lady Melania Trump.

Putin claimed no one has spoken to Russia seriously about security guarantees, warning that all foreign troops in Ukraine will be treated as legitimate targets. He also said Moscow would be the “best place” for a meeting with Zelensky.
And we will respect those security guarantees that, of course, must be developed for both Russia and Ukraine. And I repeat once again, Russia will certainly implement these agreements," Putin said.
Putin swears that Russia will uphold security agreements regarding Ukraine. Just like it upheld the Budapest Memorandum? "Because if these agreements are reached, let no one doubt that Russia will implement them in full.

This will dominate the papers for the next few days until Farage issues a full public apology and resigns. Or it won't.
“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Putin said reaching real agreements would be almost impossible. He pointed to Ukraine’s constitution, arguing that any territorial deal would need a referendum, which can’t happen under martial law. As usual, he warned that NATO membership for Ukraine threatens Russia.

In large part, the modern welfare state as we know it was created precisely because those less formal, more traditional social systems leave a lot of people falling through the cracks. It's good if you're in but also more people get cut out.
The resources and talent wasted on the crypto industry. We spent a few centuries learning why a commodity standard was not the best way to manage a currency.

Yeah, and I would guess that despite appearing ~18% poorer most Norwegians have a higher standard of living than the median American
Norway is third on the list though?
This seems to suggest that in both cases the apparent wealth is largely due to much more expensive systems for transporting individual from place to place and for housing them
I think people know that America is rich but maybe underrated how well Canada does economically compared to most European countries

Another reason to fight this: "gay and trans people still face violent assaults at a much higher rate than the general population. It is precisely for that reason that the rights of self-defense, including armed self-defense, can be especially important for them." -- @andycraig.bsky.social, 2022 /3
Background: many righties have gone all in on the theory that the Minneapolis school massacre was the mere result of gender dysphoria being part of the shooter's complex mix of troubles and pathologies. It's like "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats" but for copycat spree killers. /2
Bondi's Department of Justice plots another grotesque attack on a constitutional right. Second Amendment advocates should speak up loud and clear against this.
“Yet the emergency, in Trump’s hands, isn’t just a legal declaration. It’s a philosophy of governing.” ?????
if you want to hedge you can say something is “apparently illegal” or “appears illegal in according to US law,” but saying something has questionable legality is both sides-ing. there are not always equal considerations!
something that drives me nuts is how legacy media will write that "scholars question legality" of a trump administration action when there is not a shred of evidence that it is in fact legal. it leaves room for the federal government to manufacture a legal justification when literally none exists.
My message to Donald Trump is very simple.
We need a Secretary of Health and Human Services. Not a Secretary of Conspiracies. Not a Secretary of Measles and Food Poisoning. Not a Secretary of Cancelled Research and Chemtrail Nonsense. RFK Jr. is burning down our public health system from the inside. Fire him.

Since I watch a lot of hearings, this is pretty common. A GOP MoC will ask a witness (in either a friendly or hostile way, depending) about a scandal/study/news event that I've never heard of. I do a little googling, and find out its of dubious provenance and was everywhere on RW media.
Here is the study, from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (not a health care or scientific organization, and the study is not peer reviewed) perma.cc/4FG5-29B2 And here is a rebuttal, from the Agence France Press factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....
During the RFK Jr hearing Sen Daines referenced a study showing that mifepristone is much more dangerous than the FDA has said. As per usual, it turns out to be a study that a) was done by an anti-abortion group, and b) was widely reported in right wing media but ignored elsewhere.

Great news for people seeking COVID shots in New York if it's legal (which I *think* it is)! (Reposting with alt text)
BREAKING, from NY Playbook PM: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid vaccines to New Yorkers who request them.
or even just putting nuclear unnecessarily in tension with solar and wind as if they aren't compliments
there's a version of economic patriotism that says "America needs to get good at building the energy of the future", but instead you have decision makers pointing at solar panels and going "nope—Chinese"
We're reaching the parody point for economic nationalism, where you stop doing things because they are good ideas and just ascribe value to capital projects based on how nationalistic they make you feel
President Trump is giving a good impression of a schizophrenic. Hours after supporting Ukraine's allies and agreeing toughening sanctions on Russia, Agent Krasnov has posted these images.

Cantwell notes 2M American lives saved bc of mRNA vaccine, now some other country will gain advantage using that technology. Pivots to ACA tax credits--does he want to do something about it? Claims he wants to "fix the system". #FireRFK
Sen Cantwell up, notes Kennedy is not following science. Going back to mRNA funding cancelation. Kennedy "you're so wrong on your facts." Cantwell calls him a charlatan. Brings in figure showing effectiveness of vaccines "and you don't want to support that evidence." #FireRFK
Cassidy: bc of conflicting recs about COVID vaccine, brings up letter from constituent re wife with stage 4 cancer who can't get vaccine; other letter with similar questions re liability, prescriptions. Effectively we are denying people vaccine. /end Cassidy #FireRFK
Kennedy started to ramble about mandates and other treatments but Cassidy cut him off. #FireRFK
Cassidy now asking about cancellation of mRNA vaccine contracts. Seems like a commentary on OWS, he says. #FireRFK
Bill Cassidy (LA), medical doctor, now up. Extolling virtue of operation warp speed. Kennedy agrees Trump deserves Nobel Prize for it. #FireRFK
Bennet: going to hold Kennedy to answers, "this is not a podcast" #FireRFK
Kennedy claims all his evidence taking away vaccines is transparent "for the first time in history" #FireRFK
Bennet notes this is the last thing parents need--additional expense, confusion about vaccines. #FireRFK
Bennet asks if RFK changes vaccine schedule for kids, if he anticipates fewer kids will receive vaccines. Kennedy starts to answer, Bennet asks if states should prepare for more VPDs. Kennedy tries to say he doesn't expect MMR changes. #FireRFK
RFK responds trying to say that Malone is one of the inventors of mRNA vaccines. Bennet briefly brings up RFK's HIV denial. #FireRFK
Bennet notes that no one in his job has ever fired ACIP all at once. Asks if he's aware of Robert Malone's antivax quotes (mRNA vaccine causes a form of AIDS, damages kids' brains, etc). #FireRFK
Claims his mission is to "eliminate the politics from science" #FireRFK
He's going off on something and I can't parse it, puts forward Martin Kulldorf as a "world-renowned Harvard scientist" #FIreRFK
Goes on about pandemic, "we were lied to about everything". #FireRFK
Wyden asks him how many childhood deaths are acceptable for his program. #FireRFK
Again suggesting ACIP was awful because it had conflicts of interest (no they didn't). #FireRFK
*are supporting him
RFK claims scientists and doctors across the country as supporting him. Jesus fuck. #FIreRFK
Wyden is asking about RFK's removal of experts from ACIP and appointing his cronies, notes AAP warns of politicization of committee. #FireRFK
RFK responds and claims Monarez was lying. #FireRFK
Wyden did note that RFK Jr's removal of vaccines for kids will lead to illness and death, adding Susan Monarez's WSJ op-ed into record. #FireRFK
"we are the sickest country in the world and that's why we need to fire CDC" --while he works to make us sicker. #FireRFK
