That is true, generally, but also, flu outbreaks have been highly lethal and highly contagious within the U.S. military. In WWI almost as many soldiers died of flu as from combat. www.army.mil/article/2104...
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.
I have the actual mug and checked it. I suppose it’s possible there’s more than one edition but I don’t think so.
Korematsu isn’t. But the others listed here are. Also Bush v Gore as a bonus.
Yes. Our unassisted bodies aren’t especially good at things involving speed or strength, compared with other animals—or compared with machines we design & build. It’s funny that anyone would make robots intentionally designed with humanoid physical features just to compete with us in those areas!
The mug is pre-Dobbs, even
Same! Family member got it for me unironically as a gift. The feature where the losing party disappears when the mug is filled with hot liquid really comes in handy as a shortcut for legal research too
Yikes. Thanks for finding that.
BREAKING: We're suing Elon Musk’s company, xAI, for building an illegal power plant in Mississippi to fuel its data center – with no air permits and little protection for the people living around it.
A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much.
Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment.

Though I may be misinterpreting that very clear message
Apparently he needs to Support Nuclear Weapons, as all Great Popes have done throughout History
This is the culmination of SIXTEEN YEARS of dogged work by everyday Hungarians.
You think that felt hopeless sometimes? I'm sure it did.

It’s confusing that Sen. Murphy would say this, since one thing those lawyers would say is: a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress will be needed to extend any 25th amendment action beyond 21 days. So 25A isn’t a way around the failure of the Senator’s colleagues in Congress to impeach and convict.
Also their argument doesn’t make sense here on its own terms! The 25th amendment requires 2/3 votes in both the House and Senate, to be effective for more than 21 days. If the reason not to call for impeachment is the votes aren’t there, the 25th amendment isn’t available either.
The 25th amendment requires a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress to be effective for more than 21 days—higher than standard for impeachment in the House and identical to the standard for Senate removal. So unfortunately, impeachment (while politically impossible) is the easier of the two remedies.
Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.
Norway is powered on clean electricity—but it also is a petrostate that has amassed a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund through selling its oil, and continues to secure the financial future of its citizens through this oil money.
It’s easy to avoid—just stay in Pawnee when you visit

Actually, Eagleton (IN) and Shelbyville are obvious exceptions
Sure, that is true—and important for anyone who is into unnecessary one-dimensional ranking of complex phenomena 😂
Hot take: all cities have something redeeming about them, and people who hate a city based on a limited set of interactions are likely missing something beautiful in that city.
From NYT article; “The tone of the administration's 27-page filing — particularly its first five pages — departs from the usual style for federal appellate briefs, which typically focus on legal arguments.”
NYT is even on it, in its understated way
Material from USDOJ stay brief, with the following sentence highlighted: “The judge was given an opportunity to see the construction taking place at the site, but surprisingly, never responded to our invitation.”
Also this 😬
