What happened?

Senator Chris Murphy on BTE and common good capitalism.

Bill Clinton's remarks (and kudos) on Prime Minister Carney walking away from the bad faith negotiations of this White House regime. and

Any truth to the rumor that Kid Rock is going to be appointed to The Great Incompetent's Cabinet?

You know that somewhere Harp has a rabbit with Ivanka's name

The current right-wing extremist Supreme Court will continue to legislate from the bench with or without the current flaccid GOP majorities in the House and the Senate. There are 13 Circuit Courts in the USA now, and with one liaison Supreme Court justice each, there is a logical and compelling reason to expand the current number of Justices to 13. It has to be the first thing on the agenda of the Democratic President, House and Senate after the 2028 election.

A Trump 18+ district in Texas just flipped to the Democrats last Tuesday. The problem with gerrymandering is that there just aren't enough Republican votes to make every seat undemocratic.

How's the MAGA cult media bubble spinning the Harp narrative? Maybe we'll find out soon

Occam's Razor is a problem solving principle that calls for search for a solution by construction out of the smallest number of elements (ignore extraneousness). What philosophical principal is best labelled with the title Ossoff's Penis?

It sounds like the American and Canadian negotiators were making slow but steady progress toward a renewed trade deal. Then Lutnick arrived and put national sovereignty into the negotiations ("no other deals with other countries") and blew up all the work that had been done. I can see why the Canadians walked away. I'm glad they did. Let's see what the Incompetent TACO does next. He's been strangely silent.

Have we seen Jared and Natalie together in the same place? Maybe they are one and the same.

I'll mention this here. Watch the Georgia Governor's race. If Keisha Lance Bottoms wins the Georgia governor's race she could appoint an Ossoff replacement if he runs for the presidential nomination. If she loses then he might have a different calculation with a Republican in a position to appoint his replacement. The Georgia governor's mansion is key to whether that BDE is waved all over the country.

Question: "was Lutnick's involvement in the last few days an impediment to getting a deal?" Answer: "that's for the Americans to answer. And we had unity on our side of negotiations, the same can't be said for the Americans."

Carney answers question about "can Trump be trusted."
