That's what spare children are for. It's no coincidence that Elon started bringing his kid everywhere like baggage right after the (first) CEO shooting. You don't get to be a billionaire by giving a shit about anyone other than yourself.

We can't fight wars with only drones any more than we could fight them with only airpower. At some point, there are always boots on the ground.

In four years at the department of Transportation? Not much, though the people of East Palestine have some complaints.

The real problem is that he is cut from the same cloth as the rest of the Democratic establishment. Lots of pretty but meaningless platitudes, zero accomplishments, and a myriad of connections to wealthy donors. He's just another empty clone like Harris.

It's not just the old ones. Pete Buttigieg comes to mind.

15 House Democrats voted to allow the Secretary of the Treasury to declare any non-profit to be terrorist supporting with no due process and remove their tax exempt status. The bill is all but certain to pass in the next Congress.

It's not their fault they keep loosing, it's the voters who are too dumb to understand that Democrats are marginally better than fascists. /s

From the article you linked.

researchers report that the substantial antidepressant effects of psilocybin-assisted therapy, given with supportive psychotherapy, may last at least a year for some patients.

So, essentially what I said. There is a difference between an anti-anxiety or anti-depressive drug and a drug that's useful in therapy to treat anxiety or depression.

Anti-depressive and anti-anxiety drugs function on their own, but only so long as the drug is active in your system. Psychedelics allow self reflection to enhance traditionally non-drug therapies. They can even lead to the exact opposite results when used in an improper mind set or setting.

Psilocybin is basically an antidepressant, and anti-anxiety drug.

Except that it's totally not either of those things. In fact, it can sometimes cause panic attacks if taken ill advisedly.

Psilocybin and other psychedelics reveal to us a lot of the inner workings of our minds. That can help people to correct unhealthy thinking when they are willing to do the work. That can lead to long term reduction of anxiety and depression, but only through addressing root causes.

51% think he should have been set on fire.

That's not what ending no fault divorce is about. It's about making it harder for women to leave an abusive marriage without an expensive legal process. It wouldn't be an obstacle to rich assholes like Trump.

Ukrainian leadership would face imminent revenge for the killing of a top Russian general

If Russia were capable of this then they would just do it, not talk about it. This is the kind of tough talk that betrays weakness.

Yep. Biden and Harris come to mind, as does the rest of the Democratic establishment. If they didn't prefer Trump to Bernie, this would be a much sweeter timeline.
