"We just make shit up as we go along" is the answer. When you have a 6-3, unreviewable majority and literally what you say goes, you can be as inconsistent or contradictory as you want and no one can do anything about it!

The Paris Fire Brigade (serving a metro of 10M people) has an average fire response of 12 minutes. 7 for EMS.

Houston as a US example uses “90th-percentile*” times, at 13 minutes for fire and 15 for EMS.

Smaller apparatus & alternative vehicles improves medical response times without sacrificing firefighting capability.

Meanwhile if a typical U.S. city reduced road deaths by just 10% they would save more lives than all fire deaths. Road diets, traffic calming and related show reductions in crashes of ~20-40% and in fatalities and serious injuries of ~30-40%.

There has been zero improvement in deaths per fire for ~5 decades, because response after the fact has little impact on outcomes. But we could save 3-4x that number by simply making safer streets that also work better for everyone on them.

Ken Paxton says he often doesn’t want to be in Texas and prefers spending time in California, where he grew up, instead:

“I like places in California, even though I don’t like to admit that I go to California, but it’s beautiful.”

Alito (majority) finds Trump statements don't demonstrate racial animus, but can't bring himself to quote any of them

Kagan (dissent) notes this, then supplies some quotes

"It is hard to imagine the statements being made today of any White community," she observes

ICE raid polling place on Election Day—demand poll worker delete social media post.

Agents threaten her with federal & state prosecution—for anti-ICE comment.

Post they claim illegal:
"I think today is a great day for Jonathan Ross to be indicted."

He shot & killed Renee Good on January 7, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

ICE claims she "doxxed" the agent's name—even though she was just quoting what was already being publicly reported in the news.

She did not share personal information such as an address or phone number.

Paigelynne Gonyea said she has contacted an attorney—who made it clear that law enforcement are not allowed to conduct business at a polling place.

Incident occurred at the Central Library in downtown Syracuse, New York.

She does not have an account on this platform—so posting video here first to help raise awareness.

Trump and his allies lambasted Obama’s Iran nuclear deal for a decade.

Yet their proposed deal is objectively weaker than the JCPOA: fewer conditions, more money for Iran, and less nuclear oversight.

Protesting is illegal, sympathizing with protestors is illegal, reading books is illegal, using Signal is illegal, wearing all black is illegal

That’s what we have learned from Prairieland

Good to see this reversal of Secretary Hegseth's ill-fated policy:

Ron DeSantis recently signed a big transportation bill with a weird provision added at the last minute.

It will make car companies go through multiple car dealers if they want to sell a new brand in Florida.

The idea came from a billionaire car dealer and Republican megadonor.

In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.

Two weeks in Scandinavian cities & I’ve not seen a single fire truck. Lots of vans. No ladders. No engines.

It’s almost like if you don’t send them out on the 97% of calls that aren’t fires you need fewer of them and can use cheaper & faster vehicles for those.

And when there is a fire they don’t have to be huge because they’re a “giant tool box” used to justify street designs causing the very accidents the ladder truck is mostly responding to.

Hey c’mon guys, don’t be so hard on the octogenarian.
