Earlier today, Elon Musk endorsed full-on Neo-Nazi blood and soil ideology.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

I just left the classified briefing on Venezuela. Here's what I can say— I don't have any confidence the Trump Administration has a realistic plan. America is strongest when we have friends and allies around the world, not when we try to extort other countries.

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. Donald Trump, if you're so confident, let's do it. Name your time and place.

The President vetoed a bill to deliver safe, reliable drinking water to rural Coloradans. Congress unanimously passed this bill. But he’s punishing us because we won’t bend to his corruption. Trump’s pettiness is a disgrace. Congress must overturn his veto.

A solar + storage playbook for New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani: The New York Solar Energy Industries Association executive director joined Mamdani's transition team in November. The “partnership” with the mayoral administration “presents an historic opportunity,” says NYSEIA. #EnergySky

Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.

🗞️From Dan Rather tonight: "What happened to (60 Minutes) Sharyn Alfonsi’s piece is no less hard to take even, though anyone could see it coming. The barbarians are no longer at the gate. They have breached the walls and are now running the show."

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

Interior Dept. cuts off electricity for 400k homes right before Christmas

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

Sunday Taquitos #7: Raid at Santa’s Workshop Art by Ivan Ehlers.

As many others have pointed out: an incredible paragraph in the NYTimes today. Important note: This is not an editorial — it's an analysis piece from the paper's chief White House correspondent. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

FLASHBACK… Seems relevant today…

Ho, Ho, Ho! I Started Dating Mrs. Claus When She Was 14!

This is a great story about trying to do ordinary pluralist politics under the lawless rule of an administration that exclusively understands politics in the friend-enemy mode. CO senators try to protect a home state research center which Vought lawlessly seeks to abolish as an enemy institution

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law. When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent. The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.

Trump Announces 5,000% Increase In All Numbers

This could have been an email.

Today about 80% of Americans grow sterile lawns, covering 40 million acres, that is a dead zone for birds and Bees Americans could save disappearing Bees and birds if they simply let their gardens grow wild to feed pollinators and birds therevelator.org/turning-lawn...

My latest for @heatmap.news: It’s now safe to say the “all-of-the-above” Republican Party is dead. A new anti-renewables movement is gaining steam in Congress and could derail the chances of a comprehensive deal to change the federal permitting process. And they nearly sank it today.

Donald Trump is a very sick man.

A new study says Kentucky ratepayers could save billions of dollars through 2050 if electric utilities invested more in renewable energy and energy storage, retired “uneconomic” and aging coal-fired power plants, and avoided overbuilding natural gas-fired power. via @kentuckylantern.com

One of the most blatantly authoritarian threats in a Trump term full of them

Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

US and Russian officials participated in a coordinated attack on Europe which saw thousands of bots spread disinformation and terroristic rhetoric against the European Union.

Americans don't want to spend money on overseas wars or nation-building. So Trump lied during his decade-plus-long campaign, presenting himself as an anti-interventionist. Now he's increasing the military budget to all-time highs and threatening war around the globe while cutting domestic programs

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors." 1/🧵

"Colorado just set a major new climate goal for the companies that supply homes and businesses with fossil gas. By 2035, investor-owned gas utilities must cut carbon pollution by 41% from 2015 levels," reports @alisontakemura.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti... 🔌💡

Trump's MRI raises new questions about Biden's health.

Unbelievable…

Probably not ideal to publish a long piece on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving… Would you help me spread the word? I wrote about some persistent myths regarding what’s happening in American society and politics we desperately need to discard:

This mailer being sent out in #NY17 is WILD. All of the wording about Mike Lawler is technically accurate, but hoo-boy the design choices here are something to behold. Definitely zoom in and read for yourself. Image courtesy of @timmyfacciola.bsky.social on X.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

he never looks at JD that way

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

I cannot render in print the noise I made when I opened this

Say what you will about @politico.com coverage of politics, it's had at least two recent articles that counter the current prevailing narrative of #EV gloom, esp. charging. Yesterday, David Ferris—who's ALWAYS worth reading—described NEVI as "a political failure that morphed into a policy success."

A sundowning old man in Washington DC is blasting show tunes and typing unintelligible garbage on the internet. Make of that what you will.
