"school shooting industry"
Probably because Gov Landry has already asked Trump to have troops deploy to New Orleans, where Trump was poorly received at a football game and a place where Trump received few votes in the '24 election. But also, Johnson doesn't represent the whole state, his district is near Monroe.
Remember...
Plenty of cheese though....
Governor announces New Mexico will now provide free universal child care
And, somehow, the GOP response to this will be a toxic combo of further funding cuts and demands to put firearms in classrooms. They are unserious people.

How has civic engagement changed in the 20 years since Katrina? The city rebuilt its civic life in 20 years after Katrina. It became stronger in some areas of civic engagement, and weaker in others.

Trump approaches foreign relations by maximizing chaos and instability—and then hoping he can somehow claim victory by producing an agreement that ramps down tensions. This is precisely how he approached his career as a (mostly failed) businessman. trib.al/0U4iiqR

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
Or that the state ballot measure was defeated and Gov. Doug and the GOP state majority went ahead and put it in place anyway.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

I already beat another guy who cut Medicaid, gave tax breaks to billionaires, and hounded multiple women who accused him of sexual harassment — might as well debate the one actually calling the shots.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children,” states the report. “With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers at all levels to act.” Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Bit hard on mum, to be honest.
Encouraging walking for short shopping trips can help boost trade in local neighbourhoods. Data from London shows pedestrians visit their high streets most frequently. What's more, they spend up to 40% more over a month than people who drive to the high street.

Probably got a better score than I would.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Do you suppose Reality is happy that the divorce came through?
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

People who might be comfortable with their neighbors quietly disappearing aren't always comfortable when the grotesque human rights abuses involved are made public. They don't like to imagine themselves as the bad people you make them seem like when you point out what's happening. So keep doing it.
Induction stoves are quieter, cooler, and produce less toxic pollution than gas. On the other hand, they also cook better, as a growing number of professional chefs recognize.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

If anything, she's understating the impact.
It’s absolutely wild that asking for what you want directly and saying what you actually mean is “divergent” from social standards and neurodivergent people are the weird atypical ones for not playing or adjusting to the hidden layer of “guess what I really mean” in social interactions. That’s all

In the end, we’re going to have to make some choices about what R1 universities are: institutions of higher learning, pure inquiry, and broad-based research or money machines that blow in the wind with donors and the latest trends. Only one path is viable long term, in my opinion.
Trump's splotchy hand and swollen ankles raise new questions about Joe Biden's health.
