    Time Event
    5:14a
    US intelligence on Russia

    *US stops sharing intelligence on Russia with Ukraine.*

    This is meant to make Zelenskyy surrender to the demand that Ukraine "repay" the US aid, which wasn't a loan, at extortionate interest rates for decades.

    5:14a
    Supreme Court ruling for USAID

    The Supreme Court ordered the wrecker to resume payment of foreign aid by the USAid agency.

    I am not sure whether this applies to all the aid that Congress had approved, or only paid-for work already done.

    5:14a
    Legal abortion, 24 weeks, AZ

    Arizona's referendum to abortion has taken full effect.

    5:14a
    Pesticide-mixing even more dangerous

    *Study on cancer data in US agricultural heartland finds children more at risk [if exposed to a pair of pesticides] than if exposed to just one [of those two].*

    "Pesticide" here includes herbicides such as dicamba and glyphosate.

    5:14a
    Viciously applying vengeful nihilism, US

    Conjecture: The muskrat's fantasy is to wear out the Earth as a habitat for civilization, so as to create cities on Mars which are his personal property.

    Whether or not this results in sustainable Martian cities, it could wipe out civilization on Earth, and wipe out freedom and democracy.

    5:14a
    State of Union address to Congress

    The bully gave a speech in Congress, showing that Republicans revel in being the crazed mob following a bully. Democrats' response was sometimes visible but his mob disregarded even his visible falsehoods. (The speech was full of those.)

    I think that authoritarian followers will find displays in which their leader successfully bullies his enemies as gratifying and reinforcing to their obedience.

    5:14a
    Mining Greenland

    A trade treaty with an ISDS clause may compel Greenland to permit uranium mining, even though it can poison the land near the mine.
