It’s incredibly weird that there’s a global energy crisis, but here in California there is excess solar, wholesale prices are negative, and I’m charging my car with that solar and paying 1/5th of what I would be at the pump for the equivalent fossil car. 🔌💡

You'll have seen this – Earth from #Artemis II en-route to the Moon. But look again – it's Earth's *nightside*, lit by the near-full Moon, not the Sun 🌕️ The aurorae, airglow, stars, & city lights in Europe, Africa, & the Americas give the game away. Cool. NASA/Reid Wiseman #Space #Photography

How anybody can look at this image and think there are better options out there is entirely beyond me. The only planet with whales, and butterflies, and giant sequoias. Home.

At my immigration hearing, Marion Donovan-Kaloust detailed her experience working with unaccompanied children and the horrors they’ve seen under Trump. No child should have to go through this cruelty. It must end now.

"And so it's a reminder to me that there are more perspectives and more stories out there than you'll hear from the people cheering for NASA on a regular basis," Glover said. "But those people? We work for them too." www.space.com/space-explor...

The entire research arm of the Forest Service being killed, “Because a scientist who says you can’t log that watershed without destroying it is inconvenient. A lab that documents the damage from mining runoff or road-building or clear-cutting is an enemy. And enemies get eliminated.”

If you're interested to know if an EV will save you money in cost per mile for a comparable car, just multiply your electricity cost in $/kWh (national avg. is $0.19/kWh) by 10. Then compare to the cost of gas in $/gallon (national avg. is ~$4.06/gal). That's it. More details in thread below. 🔌💡 1/

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Can't overstate the impact that's coming down the pipeline to truckers, farmers, logistics, and beyond- the U.S. economy runs on diesel with several states setting new all-time highs for diesel, while others are seeing largest monthly increases of all time: AZ +67% NV +58% NC +58% TN +56% LA +56%

"We were praying! Loudly! Did everyone hear our performative prayer? Be sure you write down that you heard us praying! It was very sincere. Be sure to write that too.:"

America saw Russia in a totally quixotic war that accomplishes nothing except to drain resources and asked, "say, how do we get in on that?"

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

Trump's latest outrageous threat? To "obliterate" power plants in Iran. Anyone who actually orders this, and anyone who carried out those orders, would be guilty of war crimes under the Geneva Convention. Power plants are civilian and not military targets. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

“I want the world to know that being Venezuelan is not a crime,” said our client Andry Hernández Romero, who spent 125 days in CECOT. One year later, we’re demanding accountability. We refuse to let this become the standard. 🔗 www.advocate.com/news/venezue...

HUGE: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Sorry what? They won’t deport US citizens is a concession? What the actual F

I posted a 1912 photo of a man with smallpox and someone asked if it was AI. That says something about the moment we’re living in: because of vaccination, we’re now so far removed from this virus that real images of it look fake. #medicalhistory #vaccines #vaccineswork #skystorians

Last year, The Atlantic gave me $10,000 to gamble with. What started as a journalistic gimmick turned into something more... unnerving. My cover story on the online betting boom that's warping sports, culture, politics, and the psyches of millions of young men: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

seems like the clearest purpose of the war is to reopen the thing that closed because of the war?

It is very gratifying to have an EV and be insulated from the turmoil of global oil markets. Currently I’m charging my vehicle at about 1/4 the cost (to me) per mile of using gas, and with solar power that would have been curtailed had I not used it. 💡🔌

The secretary of defense saying we almost have cnn in our grasp is some dark, dark shit

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Do I help it? I feel like fallen fronds are something you have to figure out for yourself on the mean sidewalks of LA

I hate this. We're ending the rainy season, by drying everything out, depleting the snow pack, and setting up the Colorado River (and Lake Powell specificaly) for disaster.

Explaining the constitution, to a former Trump national security adviser.

COLLINS: I want to remember something you said last summer *plays Marshall a clip of him saying "I think it will take years for Iran to restart their nuclear program"* SEN. MARSHALL: Look, I was wrong. I believe we obliterated those nuclear facilities, but now they're restarting programs elsewhere

“When you look at our ever-present surveillance state and the ways in which people are being retaliated against and identified, I think that this is exactly what they (U.S. founding fathers) wouldn't have wanted,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @NPR.org. www.npr.org/2026/03/08/...

This morning: “We’re gonna blow the hell outta these people.” Tonight: “Please be careful.”

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant. If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination. timesofoman.com/article/1691...

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

An administration wielding lawless, performative violence—violence for the sake of spectacle—both at home and abroad.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

ICE denied having Leonela, 8mo's pregnant, then deported her to Nicaragua days later, without counsel. All while attorneys members of congress actively searched for her. This should alarm everyone.

In the documents the Department of Homeland Security said the raid "was based on intelligence that there were illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments in the building." There is no mention of criminal gangs or Tren de Aragua. n.pr/4qqVxpj

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction. It's a tour de force: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Abundance!

Federal judge in Minnesota today: ICE has violated AT LEAST 96 court orders in 2026 alone. "This should give pause to anyone...ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
