[guy who hasn't showed up to work in four months] Oh, me? I'm tireless

The idea that only nuclear or gas can provide "firm power" -- the last line of defense against the relentless advance of clean energy -- is going the way of the dodo. There are no arguments left. The only reason to fight progress now is corruption & raw political power.

Happy pride month to both Claire Valdez and the New York Times for this clear first-ballot NYT Corrections Hall of Fame shoo-in

Dude out here trying to Ossoff-y himself

A little chart I put together with data from @the-downballot.com. I looked at House districts that had special elections in the three most recent midterms, and compared their Dem candidate overperformance in those specials w/ that district's eventual Dem overperformance in the general.

I foolishly have decided to contribute my two cents to the Platner discourse, featuring some polisci to help explain why this is all so infuriating. youarehere.substack.com/p/flawed-can...

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Trump’s Truth Social posting over the last hour or so is completely batshit insane. Get a load of this nonstop nuttery.

Beto won Latinos 64/35 in 2018; the below result with Undecideds allocated by the current proportions commiteds are would put Talarico up 68/32.

Decided to calculate a cumulative daily total of the amount of $$$ I've spent on energy this year with my new solar (blue), compared to the amount of money those KwHs would have cost without solar (orange). 42% saved so far. More sun + sweet summer excess generation rates gonna explode that number ☀️

I had to google it when he used it for Pete, and I had to google it again now because I forgot again

these guys should just admit that giving Trump a senate majority is more important than being a decent Christian, instead of trying to twist themselves into knots to explain why Talarico is actually a worse Christian than Paxton this whole thing is just so embarrassing

This is the energy I'm hoping to cultivate for the remainder of 2026

I don’t usually say watch videos but the payoff is worth it.

It definitely does vary state to state, although of course these states joined at different times. Not surprisingly western states have the lowest rates, and Peltola is running to represent the lowest!

This is a stat that's fluctuated quite a bit over time! This is data I've compiled from members' official bios via bioguide.congress.gov.

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

So, anybody else suddenly and unexpectedly getting follows from what appear to be dozens of bot accounts with pets as their profile pictures?

Jeff made more than one horrendous mistake last night

You’ve been governor for 5 years bud

I know she doesn't care, but this would of course also disqualify Rep. Young Kim (R-CA), Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN), and Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH).

Every Kash Patel story

Say you had the talk (@timmiller.bsky.social)

I really do think Trump misheard Talarico saying "cisgender" as "six genders," and that's just a thing he says now. The first person I saw make this observation deleted the post saying it, but yeah.

I know it doesn't matter, but wow the WaPo op-ed page is really on one today

Social Media in 2035

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

I get several per week and my podcast has approx 22 listeners

Hey #polisky: Does anybody have 2020 (or 2024 for that matter) presidential results by state legislative district (upper and lower) based on post-redistricting SLDs? Specifically, the districts used from 2022-2024?

TIL the Brits spell "swath" with an outrageous "e" at the end

what's great about this photo is it captures a truism of life in 2026: everything's very expensive and deeply concerning with no real path toward it getting better but also the memes are usually pretty good

I think about this all the time.

That’s gonna be a no from me dawg

Cue @jonathanbernstein.bsky.social "Losing loser keeps losing" etc etc

Fuck it, let's add Wyoming to Puerto Rico

I literally just discovered that Nick from season 2 of Survivor is the Attorney General of Washington State, ask me anything

If Sherrod really cared about his Senate legacy he would win in November, then immediately run for some other state's Class 2 seat in 2030 to complete the trifecta

what if we made the whole country out of ballroom

Dude is running marathons in dangerously close to times I'd be really happy with for my half marathons
