Here's what it looks like when you pull it all together. Since Trump took power in Jan 2025, Medicare enrollment is up (for obvious reasons), but this is canceled out by population growth...and enrollment in Medicaid, CHIP, BHPs & ACA exchange coverage has PLUMMETED.

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

🤯 Russia, Komi Republic. People who live like this are constantly short of land and need new territories.

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

NEW: DHS agents tracked people observing ICE arrests, photographed them, ran their plates, pulled personal information, and added them to a Palantir database, according to newly unsealed court filings. w/ @regret.bsky.social

Weird coincidence that all this is happening the same day as the AI air control rollout. “You’re absolutely right - a forty five degree angle of approach is entirely too steep for landings, and that’s on me. Would you like me to call some local mortuaries?”

🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

🚨 New reporting reveals the DOJ is IGNORING European law enforcement agencies asking for help investigating Jeffrey Epstein. What are they hiding?

The Cat Righting Reflex is the official name of the process cats use to automatically correct themselves mid-fall and land on their feet. It develops between 3 - 9 weeks of age, and is responsible for the greatest wikipedia gif of all time.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

"Besides being deeply cynical, Chomsky’s supposed pragmatism has not stood the test of time...We may have manufactured consent once upon a time, but America has long since transitioned to a post-manufacturing economy." Very harsh but worthwhile read. strangematters.coop/noam-chomsky...

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

Trump Pushes To Rename Sexual Attraction To Children ‘Americaphilia’

Today’s merit-delaying ruling on mail voting reflects a studied naïveté by the majority about whether what Trump is up to Is illegal. (Who can know until his team takes definitive coercive action?) As Justice Jackson writes, it “needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty” into the fall elections.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

And we have a new all-time record warm *absolute* temperature for the oceans, according to ERA5 (which goes back to 1940): August 21st likely marked the warmest Sea Surface Temperatures have been for the entire Holocene period. Should be major news!

These new Veo tricycles look very accessible. Unfortunately they do take up a bit more space on the sidewalk.

Oh, for fuck's sake. If you had an "AI" generate the text, then you're not the author. "Oh, but the ideas are mine." Motherfucker, ideas aren't copyrightable, and neither is the text if "AI" barfed it out. In neither a logistical nor legal sense does the term "author" convey to you.

UPDATE: Colorado's Elections Division finds "one or more potential violations of Colorado campaign and political finance law" in GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx's unlimited contribution merch store. State puts Marx on notice to fix violations and comply with the law by Aug 28

It's increasing clear the primary uses of our surveillance state are not to prevent crime or to track down criminals, but to engage in criminal activity. Nothing about that should be surprising given the elaborate legal structures we have in place to create a culture of impunity in law enforcement.

Astonishingly warm overnight low temps in Denver. 76° at DIA and 77° at Central Park would mark our warmest lows in 145 years, if it holds until midnight tonight. Yesterday’s heat + cloudy overnight = crazy warm overnight temps. #COwx

Happy 6th anniversary, this week. 🎂
