Someone made a site that tracks what people are talking about at public city council meetings across the US. The only thing discussed more than data centers? Pickleball courts.

@JayInslee and I agree: Oregon has led the nation in using vote-by-mail. Donald Trump wants to take us backward, but I’m not going to let him or anybody else take away our safe and secure system.

BREAKING: Private aviation operators say they have been swamped with jets leaving the Gulf over the past 48 hours, with the surge beginning Monday night and reportedly involving not only wealthy expats and diplomats but also royals departing undercover, according to an industry source cited by @YachtLifeRadio. The private exodus reportedly began before the public evacuation order for U.S. embassy staff in Saudi Arabia, with departures already underway days before the official warnings. It comes as Donald Trump said that U.S. is not negotiating with Iran and “something will happen soon,” and the U.S. and Israel posture for potential fresh strikes. The timing is particularly striking. When private jets, wealthy individuals, diplomats and reportedly royals begin leaving before official warnings become public, it suggests serious concerns may be building behind the scenes.
