This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬
This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸
Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

Essay Three traces what is missing: the institutional layer between community resilience and the capital that could fund it. And identifies the mechanisms, financial, legal, algorithmic, and structural, that allow that layer to be built at scale. Franklin knew. We can relearn.
Essay Two examines why the financial system is blind to the value of prevention. When prevention works, nothing happens. No claims are filed. No losses recorded. The industry best positioned to value avoided loss is structurally incapable of seeing it. The dog doesn't bark.
Essay One establishes the frame. Insurance is not a financial product. It is social infrastructure. When it withdraws, risk does not disappear. It transfers to the people and governments least able to absorb it. Managed transition or unmanaged collapse. No stable middle.
My three-part series on the insurance industry, climate risk, and institutional failure is now complete. I argue that the insurance industry's retreat from climate risk is not a market adjustment. It is a governance failure. 🧵

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Are we concerned as to whether there would be federal blowback? Not a concern of ours. Our role is to hold people accountable if they violate the laws of Minnesota. We feel strongly that this ICE agent committed 2nd degree assault."
Just to go back to basics:
I once worked on a (winning) presidential campaign.
Something too obvious for anyone to mention was: "Don't get into a fight with the Pope over who knows more about Jesus."
These people are morons.
While a few lucky insiders may be getting rich from this misrule, the rest of us are watching the needless destruction of our collective future.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Two hundred and fifty years in, the American founding promise keeps failing us in the same way, for the same structural reasons. The Five Freedoms is a three-essay series on what it would actually take to build something that holds.

NEW: Fulton County officials fighting for the return of 2020 election materials seized by the FBI asked a federal judge Tuesday to order the Department of Justice (DOJ) to disclose details about its repeated attempts to obtain the county’s election records. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I'm getting pushback from people here saying that illegal waste dumping (and the failure to stop it) is just an English problem. Sorry, but much as you might wish to believe it, it's not true. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...
In Minnesota, we stand tall with our neighbors in the face of hatred.
Bret Stephens: I'm flabbergasted by the relentless pessimism I'm seeing in much of the commentariat. We are less than two weeks into a war that will almost surely be over by the end of the month, and already there are predictions that it's “another Iraq." American casualties, heartbreaking
just a few minutes away from Bret Stephens getting another prediction wrong
Accountability brings consequences.
And consequences are the only language corruption understands.
Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.
They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇
Green groups are popular and trusted voices, and they are most trusted when they speak about why doing a thing is important for the environment.
