I’m old enough to remember the New York Times pushing Americans into the Iraq war that killed a million people, greatly weakened our international standing, and diverted vast resources into the pockets of a few billionaires. It’s always been this bad.

We have to talk about Beryl. Emissions and heat drive hurricanes. Last year was the seas' hottest on record, with marine heatwaves sweeping 90% of world oceans. This surge has barely paused, with sea surface temperatures records tumbling every single day for 12 months in a row until March.

After decades of activism, Joe Biden’s administration finally was the one to ban USDA’s Wildlife Services division from deploying cyanide bombs on federal BLM lands. These things have killed pets and injured recreationists, and killing carnivores is bad policy anyway. Biden got it done.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.
