If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.
Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
Asked the LEGO store in Century City if they had any Iranian play sets. Best they could do is this Straight of Hormuz Tanker.
Looks like Meta is not getting a continuance on New Mexico's claims for public nuisance and injunctive relief. The court has formally set the bench trial for May 5-15 and May 20-22.
China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - 50% higher than the US or Europe.
With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices than most Western economies.
IMF says Canada has a strong fiscal position among the G7 countries.
Canada wants to reduce our net debt-to-gross domestic product ratio to 43%.
Most other G7 countries are in the 100% range.
I just wish these advantages were felt by regular Canadians

This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President.
The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.
Rewatching & SMH.
What a floundering flailing critique from Poilievre
Public pension funds in over half of U.S. states hold billions of dollars in Palantir stock, according to @Sludge.
Public workers in several of these states, like Maine, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, are protesting the fact that their pension funds are being funnel to this dangerous company.
Latest death toll released by the Lebanese ministry of health includes the grim milestone that 100 medics/first responders have now been killed in Lebanon by Israeli attacks since March 2. I wrote about attacks on healthcare a few weeks ago, when it was 42 www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.”
Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order.
Augustine invented the doctrine.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
What a way to start the day
Good one
Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States
THIS kind of "intimate" relationship between Paramount and Trump is the reason why I am testifying this afternoon before a Senate panel against the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., which owns CNN
