Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Thank you to @northeasternu.bsky.social CAMD Ambassador Autumn for going above and beyond today in showing our daughter the architecture studio!

1) cops never actually do this. 2) any who would are the ones you definitely want gone.

Rather than it being a “hate-America” rally, Saturday’s No Kings rally is an opportunity for all of us who love America to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/theyre-calling-it-a-hate-america

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

In January 2025, Musk endorsed the German neo-Nazi party AfD and spoke at one of their rallies. Days before that, he gave a Nazi salute at a Trump inauguration party. Now he is inciting violence against immigrants in the UK.

Imagine. If. Biden. Had. Done. This.

I've been around long enough to remember Republicans blaming Obama for the October 2008 economic crash. When Bush was president and had been for seven years.

“Back into a Democratic controlled hellscape?” WTF Where the F*ck in America does this guy live? The only hellscapes I’ve been aware of are prisons / detention centers (and perhaps Epstein’s island.)

Let Trump’s personal history be a guide, he doesn’t care about debt, doesn’t feel obligated to pay debts, and likes low interest rates to boost investment. Doubt he has any understanding of the interconnectedness of the global economy and how his preferred policies can drive us right off a cliff.

If the Fed chair comes under partisan control, be prepared for wild currency swings, an economic crash, and widespread inflation and impoverishment.

I had no idea how much support was about the Epstein horror. While I can’t understand how “his closest friend” was somehow going to deliver justice, it suggests maybe there was a bit human decency behind some of the support? But also kids in cages from the first go around? I’m flabbergasted.

The same people who deny that releasing 40+ billion tonnes of chemicals annually into the atmosphere changes our climate think that an airplane spraying a few tonnes of chemicals into the atmosphere definitely does. I want the world to be less stupid, as well as less evil.

In the words of a lifelong Republican who worked closely with Kratsios at the WH in Trump 1: “I couldn’t figure out if he hated science, or just scientists.”

Skip the editorial by the director of Trump's Office of Science and Technology Policy on "sound science." Read the letter by John Holdren instead: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

"We can’t allow an endless argument about what is and isn’t antisemitism when it moves us away from confronting the central issue: the question of how to stop a genocide." Are you listening @albomp.bsky.social? #auspol #Gaza #ThisIsGenocide #SanctionIsrael

Only ICE agents.

I encourage everyone to read this letter. Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

The President could deploy troops to help disaster recovery efforts from devastating storms, but instead he sends them to Los Angels to chase fry cooks and landscapers.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

A little good news! The New Jersey Legislature just unanimously passed S4100, which would allow families statewide to get permits nearly instantly for rooftop solar and home battery projects using an online, automated platform administered by the state. Governor Murphy should sign it.

He has refused his Assent to Laws… For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world… For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury… For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences… A Tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Are there any tax attorneys out there who can tell me how safe the current language and interpretation of commence construction and safe harbor is? Is it something IRS or Treasury could change? www.politico.com/live-updates...

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind. I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why. Please share! This is really important!!! @heatmap.news

you know, if i were in the position of interviewing jeffries here, i would ask the congressman to specify exactly when and where mamdani used that language.

They're* calling it the blackout bill. With new demands from AI, hotter temperatures, and the return of U.S. manufacturing, pulling back on clean energy deployment puts our electricity system at risk. *ok it's just me but still

Andrew Cuomo thinks its absurd for the city try to to own a grocery story while New York State owns three (!) ski resorts and Cuomo personally oversaw their operation, even heralding it in his state of the state address. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

The best part of throwing the climate under the bus for AI is knowing the justification: Because it will allow us to enfeeble ourselves while willingly co-creating a vast surveillance state. bsky.app/profile/keit...

The Republicans are about to enact a MAJOR (50%+) increase on American energy sources. To everyone who decried the political calculus of the BTU tax or "cap and tax", what will you say now? Any non-ironic use of the phrase "energy dominance" should be laughed out the room.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov Democrats are “considering” forcing clerks to read the entire megabill on the floor?! This shouldn’t be optional. Force the full bill reading. No more “I didn’t know what was in it” excuses. Make every Senator sit through it and own it. @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Rooftop solar downtown in Washington DC - note that the modules and racking are covering up rooftop machinery. First time I’ve participated in a project with this hardware. Universal Renewables, based in greater Washington DC, and run by Mark Ballantine, specializes in the technique. 193 kWdc.

@cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social Wow - very bad interaction. Spent 10 minutes patiently waiting my turn, actually helping with another constituent in talking about the Stadium, as she is about to whisked away, only for her to turn her attention to an older white couple, ignoring me. #iamnotinvisinle.

So, came home late last night / this morning to discover a crew out to fix a leak in the gas line to the house. Feeling conflicted about maybe just telling these guys to cap the line and go home, but feeling a bit too back footed to get a new water heater and heat pump for the house…

fwiw and I know it’s not much I am a Jew who lives in New York City and while I am neither afraid of Zohran Mamdani nor his views on Israel and Palestine, I’m actually scared as hell about the horrific wave of racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia that has been unleashed since his primary win
