Trump: "Based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco is so involved, I thought they were going to attack us"
OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war
So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money? Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission. But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it. I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”
Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement

I almost missed that in a video where the former Chancellor of the Exchequer talks about "Institutional Credibility", the video misspells the word "credibility", which kind of sums this whole thing up
"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"
This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.
Going to be a big summer for middle aged men with heat pumps and solar panels.
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
A Finnish government study, to be published in May, will outline a plan to “build” a “Verdant Wall” along #Finland’s Eastern border by #rewilding and restoring natural habitats, especially marshlands, as barriers to invasion. Win win win!

Ofc there are very real expectation/ideal vs reality aspects to this which make a consumerist approach more understandable, but if you genuinely believe voters should not in any way be held accountable for their choices you do not believe in democracy! Sorry!
Current voting discourse is once again a fun reminder that "participating in the democratic process should be considered qualitatively different from being a consumer in a market economy" apparently is an offensive statement to parts of the American left
in this former mining town, they know two things: Brexit means Brexit, and the Pahlavi dynasty (1925-1979) are the rightful rulers of Persia.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

…yet Trump defends Putin.
Also, in the last few weeks the Ukrainians have liberated more land than they lost and inflicted high casualties on the invaders. They feel vindicated. Yet most in the analytical community and press are being quiet. Hmmmm.
So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

Induction stoves help a lot since heating up is almost instantaneous, induction + stainless steel is a pretty fantastic cooking experience!
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
More and more history and current events are making me think of this
As Jay Bergman puts it, the French Revolution was “an avatar of modernity itself, a seminal event in history when man first rationalized his environment through the application of reason”
France created an unprecedented bureaucracy to continuously record all births, marriages and deaths in the territory. Later expanded to continuously maintained lists of all military-age male citizens, in order to allow conscription in any numbers required.
Okay after playing around with this for 15 minutes I want to give you money
