NYTimes: I can hear how much this has hurt you.

Scott Pelley: Yes. It's like your spouse being murdered.

Having lost a job and lost a spouse in my lifetime, they are very, very, so much not the same.

He's right about Netanyahu.

I wouldnt put it past Trump to do anything to distract from his incompetence & lack of morality, but every president gets accused of starting wars to distract. I'm not ready to believe it now even though Trump is the most likely of any POTUS to do it

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Graham Platner on Iran: “Everybody sees that Donald Trump started it because he doesn’t want us paying attention to the Epstein Files because he’s in them. It was a war he started because Benjamin Netanyahu has been begging for it for 30 years and he finally found an American president dumb enough to go through with it”

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Republicans are blaming Joe Biden for a massive flesh eating screwworm outbreak even though Donald Trump cut the disease detection funding and fired 25 percent of the tracking staff.
NewsMax is worse than Fox News lol "It's Joe Biden's fault!!" HAHAH holy fuck.

Kushner Companies bought 666 Fifth Avenue in 2007 for the elevated price of $1.8B, borrowing all but $50M. It was a remarkable risk. Indeed, the Kushners were still scrambling to cover their loans a decade later.

Trump threw a tantrum and abruptly ended an interview on Meet The Press this weekend after being asked basic questions.

Maybe now the media will finally start covering his obvious mental decline.

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

Reality check:

"Ask one of the leading AI chatbots a question about the upcoming midterm elections, and there is a 90% chance the response will be flawed in some material way: a factual error, a clear partisan lean, a citation to a foreign state-controlled outlet, or some combination of all three"

Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one.
More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans.
Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. https://t.co/kPKj7fqJFZ

We don't. The Supreme Court is no longer legitimate. Full stop

It's a body "elected" by partisan Republicans and votes that way. Full stop

It's corrupt, like Trump. Full stop

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

Public trust in the Supreme Court has hit historic lows. That's what happens when a court starts producing outcomes that look like politics. 

"Stare decisis" — respecting your own legal precedent — is the foundation of judicial legitimacy. It's what separates a court from a political body. The Supreme Court has abandoned its OWN rulings — on voting rights, abortion and redistricting within a few years. If the court doesn’t respect its OWN precedents, why should people respect the court?

[Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard]

One thing I've heard in the wake of the A.J. Brown trade that is driving me crazy: "The Patriots are a top 5 offense now."
New England's 2025 rankings:
Points: 2nd
Yards: 3rd
EPA/play: 3rd
EPA/DB: 1st
TD/Dr: 3rd
Pts/Dr: 4th
Passing yards: 4th
Passing TDs: 5th
Pass success%: 1st
Explosive play%: 1st
Explosive pass% 1st

Want to say it was the schedule?
Offensive DVOA: 3rd
Passing DVOA: 2nd

Patriots were already comfortably in the top 5.

[Freakonomics @Freakonomics]

Richard Feynman had a habit of pulling complicated things apart until he could see what was actually true.

That instinct took him from the Manhattan Project to the Challenger investigation, where he exposed NASA’s failure to properly assess the risks involved.

But what made Feynman fascinating wasn’t just the physics.

It was the way he approached everything: with skepticism, curiosity, irreverence, and a deep need to understand how things worked beneath the surface.

In this series, Freakonomics Radio revisits the life and ideas of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist through archival tape, conversations with family and colleagues, and stories that feel surprisingly relevant right now.

Megyn Kelly: Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had. He met Marla Maples while he was married to Ivana, the mother of his children

Ivana accused him of raping her. She alleged he was so angry over the hair transplant she made him get, and that it was so painful, that he raped her.
