This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."

True ⬇️ and by the way the US presented no proof he is a terrorist. That is something the US could have (and had a right to have) alleged and proved in court but chose not to. And admitted the deportation was a US mistake.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

The economy is in free fall.

The markets are collapsing.

Our soldiers are dying.

Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail.

Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons.

And Trump is fucking golfing.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

Rare Earths Reality Check: Ukraine Doesn't Have Minable Deposits Experts say proposed deal with U.S. makes no sense

Wow. This is really interesting and now we have to wonder if all the "rare earth minerals" talk is just that Trump is a complete ignoramus as usual and is just trying to sound "smart" about the subject.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.
