Ukraine Zelensky Condemns “Pure Terrorism” as Russia Launches One of Its Largest Attacks on Ukraine
That's strange. For a terror attack, one of the largest and most horrific, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of collateral civilian deaths. It's almost like Saint Vlad is trying NOT to kill civilians. I'd guess half of those deaths were military, the other half due to air defense missiles that missed the targets and fell back to the residential zones where they've been deployed.- 1

Why do most people NOT smoke weed even though it's legal?
Simply because I don't like it. I don't need it. Not interested in it. As simple as that. -

Trump’s Stunning Streak of Losses in Lower Federal Courts
The 96% Rebellion: District Courts Mount Historic Resistance, But the Supreme Court Looms GOP-appointed judges join an unprecedented judicial pushback against executive overreach. The data is stunning—but will it matter when cases reach higher courts? May 25, 2025 "In May 2025, federal district courts ruled against the Trump administration in 26 of 27 cases—a stunning 96% loss rate. This represents a dramatic acceleration of the cross-ideological resistance I documented in March. This isn't just another data point; it suggests a potential inflection point in the judiciary's engagement with an executive that has consistently tested constitutional boundaries. The data points to several converging factors behind this judicial rebellion. Most compelling is a collision of loyalties. The Trump administration's escalating attacks on the legal profession itself—from targeting major law firms to individual judges, culminating in the unprecedented federal arrest of Judge Dugan—appears to have triggered a defensive reflex.... The nature of the cases themselves reinforces this pattern, particularly in civil rights and immigration spheres. The administration is presenting courts with executive overreach built on demonstrably false claims and flimsy legal foundations... ... District courts, as the data consistently shows, remain the primary arena of meaningful judicial friction against executive power. Yet this surge must be viewed soberly. As I documented in April, this pattern inverts dramatically at the appellate level, where conservative circuit judges rule for the administration 88% of the time. The Supreme Court's extreme deference to Trump—most starkly in its sweeping presidential immunity decision—suggests that district court resistance, while crucial for buying time and documenting abuses, may ultimately prove temporary.
