Sunset over the Russian River near Healdsburg.

We've got a jam packed show today with these incredible guests⬇️. I hope you'll tune in as we talk about the ICE surge, climate change & much more. + @petergleick.bsky.social + @alexaronson.bsky.social + @casten.house.gov + @willbunch.bsky.social 🤳Stream 1-4 CT heartlandsignal.com/wcpt820/

I assume others are getting these new fraudulent evites and electronic "invitations"in your emails? Beware. Real ones don't require you to login to anything.

Case in point: the new Trumpian lead for the next National Climate Assessment is literally a #climate denier, disputing the most basic science fact about #climatechange. This is Stalin-like science.

It was probably a requirement listed in the job description.

Congressional Republicans don't have to be humiliated by Trump day after day but it's a choice they seem happy to make.

There have been 5 US National Climate Assessments, each advancing the science of #climate threats, prepared by the nation's top scientists.The 6th will be prepared by climate deniers & MAGA political hacks & will be a scientific embarrassment, forever to be ignored. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Now do this for water.

My new essay at Scientific American is out. #fires #climate #water "We know what’s coming, but we also know what to do...It's time to listen to the science, stop listening to the deniers and work to make our dystopian future, once again, fiction." www.scientificamerican.com/article/los-...

Hey, is the Trump obfuscation tarp still up at the Kennedy Center?

Seeing shrinking lakes and reservoirs in the west and around the world? Basic Hydrology 101: if the water flowing into your bathtub is less than the #water flowing out, your bathtub drains. Climate change is altering inflows but we're continuing to pull too much water out for human uses.

The message that should be on repeat now is that the Democrats will remove a Platner but the Republicans will keep a Paxton and a Trump and a long list of equally terrible people.

The only thing I learn from this is: 1. Vance thinks his little son is both a thief and a liar. 2. Vance thinks a declaration of innocence is evidence of guilt (the Salem witches would like a word).

Actually, turns out there's another communist in the US: Donald Trump, who's just launched some weird, secretly owned/operated, government-backed gas stations. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The Graham Platner fiasco proves that the Democrat Party is far too tolerant of sexual predators. by Matt Gaetz, Roy Moore, Pete Hegseth, Jim Jordan, Dennis Hastert, Blake Farenthold, Trent Franks, Herman Cain, Cory Mills, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Donald J. Trump

Apparently there IS still one communist in the United States and it turns out he's a MAGA "influencer." Jason Hinkle, "self-styled ‘MAGA communist’" attends Khamenei's Iran funeral. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

As the tensions on the shrinking Colorado River rise (as the river flows fall), a reminder of how we address #water rights issues.

They talked with McConnell the way Trump talked to Teddy Roosevelt?

The Trump EPA just quietly approved three new PFAS “forever chemical” pesticides for use on America’s food supply. These chemicals don’t just disappear. They build up in our water, our soil, our food, and our bodies. What happened to “Make America Healthy Again”?

You win the Internet today.

Anyone else notice that RFK Jr. has disappeared from public view and meetings? The Trump administration seems to have realized what a liability he is and has told him to disappear for a while. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/u...

Israel is withholding #water from Jordan by failing to renew a 2021 agreement for political purposes. www.timesofisrael.com/parched-jord...

He thinks he's Midas, but everything he touches turns to crap. The Trump Curse. Seems like a real thing. #TrumpCurse

The parallel here is that the US Navy is spending billions of dollars to protect Hampton Roads and the Norfolk navy bases against sea level rise but are prohibited now from even talking about climate change.

IT'S COMING. The advanced reading copy of "When the Well is Dry: How Water Fuels Violence and Shapes Peace" has arrived on my doorstep!

And just like that, Trump ruins the World cup.

Obama lives rent-free in Trump's head because deep down Trump knows public opinion and history will consider Obama to have been a wildly popular and successful president while he'll be remembered as a massively incompetent, corrupt failure. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Have to wonder if the referees in the US-Belgium match aren't going to just red card Balogun out in the first minutes just to reassert their independence from FIFA corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

I hope someone independent is keeping a continuous eye on the Reflecting Pool, because when they drain it again, they are going to cut a 350 foot gash and blame it on the left.

Democrats are communists in the same sense that Donald Trump is a Christian: They are not.

If you're angry and disappointed that extreme weather is disrupting the 250 anniversary celebrations, be angry at the fossil-fuel companies and the politicians in their pockets who have stymied action on #climate change for decades, and still do. Worse is to come.

You can be a fascist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both.

When you trap heat on earth… IT GETS HOTTER. Without Climate Change, U.S. Heat Wave Called ‘Virtually Impossible’ www.nytimes.com/2026/07/03/c...

Donald Trump's self-serving massive fireworks display on July 4 may cause the worst air pollution and public health disaster in Washington DC history, especially when combined with the extreme heat wave. Stay indoors, stay away, wear an N95 mask (you still have them, right, because of Covid?).

Every day, every single democratic elected official should be calling Trump a corrupt, incompetent, dangerous con man. Every day. Loudly and repeatedly. Press conferences. Interviews. Op-eds.

In a functioning democracy, these charges would never have been filed. In our currently deeply corrupt kakistocracy, I can only hope they'll be quickly and loudly dismissed.

Any one of the things Trump is reported to have done here is impeachable, and illegal. But it's just another day in corrupt Trumpville. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
