This is how you handle a tear gas canister. Pour water around the canister. That’s to help seal the base of the traffic cone used to contain it. Then you douse it from the top and cover it. It’s extremely effective.

Thank you for your support.
Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.
For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.
Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.

Elon Musk is making wild claims that #DOGE has found evidence of massive Social Security fraud....
The reality is that Musk's young engineers don't seem to be able to understand COBOL databases while Musk is misrepresenting the Social Security data

Since @elonmusk @DOGE haven't found the receipts they promised us on Friday, reupping this from earlier: One of the guys Trump fired on day four, Larry Turner, found $191B in improper COVID payments, much of it fraud, and was chasing $135B more when he was fired.
Those are receipts.

ALT A Mike Luckovich one-frame comic that shows the owner of this shitsite standing in front of a mountain of money bags, one marked "Fed. Funds Musk Gets," as he says "No more free lunch!" to 3 emaciated children who each hold an empty bowl, 2 of them marked "World's Poorest."

DOGE has not presented evidence of "fraud"; they have highlighted millions of dollars worth of spending that Musk considers wasteful.
By contrast, the GAO identified $233 billion of fraud in 2024. We don't need to let a billionaire ignore federal law to do government oversight

Trump just took 500 Marines on standby to help with escalating California wildfires and sent them to the border instead, where migrant crossings have been at the lowest level they’ve been in years since July. Unbelievable.
100 US troops are already en route to the border. A senior Marine official I spoke to said:
The 500 Marines being sent from being on stand by to help with the California fires will be armed and have magazines in their weapons, unlike during past border missions. The Marines are planning for up to 2500 Marines being sent to the border if requested. The Marines, I am told, are treating this deployment as they would any other emergency contingency (evacuating an Embassy, deploying to a war zone). “Our response will be immediate. We are going in ready to respond. If the cartels shoot at us we will not stand by,” this Marine official told me. "We will be taking whatever equipment we would send if a Marine Expeditionary Unit or MEU were deploying overseas."

It's important to remember that people like Chait *explicitly* celebrated the centrism of the Harris campaign.

Treated like trash: After 24 years in a special-ed classroom, NYC teacher Abraham Freud, 46, begged the DOE to give him a less strenuous job because of his own disability. Instead, the DOE went to court 2 days before Christmas in a bid to terminate him.

The Azerbaijani pilots lost all hydraulics and tried to steer with engine thrust only after having been hit by a Russian missile and forced to cross the Caspian Sea after being denied emergency landing in Russia.
They saved 29 lives while losing their own.
Absolute heroes.

Just reminiscing about how the NYT review of my last book hammered me for seeing the unbroken history of Silicon Valley reaction as centrally important to our current moment.
