A new satiric art installation featuring. Trump & Epstein was just installed on the National Mall under a permit, entitled “The King of the World. This iteration comes with a line of “Make America Safe Again” banners behind. Whether it’s allowed to endure will show the health of the 1st Amendment.

The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider
Despite similar infrastructure and vehicle fleets, the US and Canada are going in very different directions when it comes to traffic safety. A new study breaks down the divergence.
What about the physical enormity of the US? Does that force people to drive more?
No, it doesn't.
Canada is an even more spacious country, and residents drive a lot less (and are <1/2 as likely to die in a crash).

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.

Mike Johnson refuses to condemn anti-Muslim comments by Republican lawmakers
Andy Ogles said Muslims do not belong in the US and Randy Fine made a comparison of Muslims to dogs
It's not just that he refused to condemn Ogles and Fine; he endorsed the substance of their vile messages, taking issue only with their "tone," and he introduced a new line of bigotry-fueled conspiracy theory about Muslims wanting to impose sharia law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Incompetent knock out group play structure to have a situation where the last game is between two teams that know which results will allow them both to go through.
Now it comes down to game theory. Are either Italy or Mexico more afraid of playing Puerto Rico than not making it out of the group?

‘There is no difference between the parties’ is frankly one of the more blinkering articles of faith a lot of people hold. If you believed it, you couldn’t really believe Trump was gonna do what he was obviously gonna do

ALT: a man with a beard is smiling while sitting at a desk
Everything is bad, but at least I can focus on my dissertation chapter about how the British in 1915 didn’t have the navy to force a strait when it needed to because it spent the previous decades funding their army’s misadventures in unimportant areas that turned into expensive quagmires.

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

Senators demand return of deported California DACA recipient
Members of Congress said the Department of Homeland Security has provided conflicting data about how many DACA recipients have been detained and deported.
"Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez lived in California for 27 years before being detained at her green card interview last month and deported within 24 hours, despite having active DACA protection and no criminal history. Her story was first reported by the Sacramento Bee."
