A unique aerial measurement campaign found that emission inventories compiled by energy companies to account for planet-warming methane leaking from equipment on Colorado oil and gas production sites undercount such pollutants by at least two times. From @capitalandmain.bsky.social

This is my whole career actually :

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

Not indicting a sitting president, not fully impeaching and removing him has gotten us here as. well. Have some freaking conviction behind your words.

For all the EV naysayers in the world, my 2014 Renault Zoe just crossed 99,000 km with only one minor repair in its lifetime. And it’s 3 times less polluting than ICE. @vedeibiza.bsky.social

People do what you pay them to do. You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products. You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well. You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth. And so forth. Be aware of what you pay people to do

THIS IS 👇 HOW IT'S DONE.......

Moskowitz: It's not the galactic senate, just because the emperor says rise doesn't mean I get up. I’m a different branch of government.

These are the words and actions our next leader needs to live by. We can’t keep putting people in office who either don’t care or know how to lead. The entire government is lost.

I’m shocked he’s even aware there is a SOTU. Apparently, he has zero staff to keep him informed of anything.

How did you like Putin’s “spew”last night?

Representational government rests on a simple idea: that the laws the nation lives under generally reflect what the public wants. But abortion serves as a clear example of how difficult it can be to translate public opinion into law.

Trump in his SOTU said he was going to do whatever he wanted without congressional approval as required by the Constitution. The Republican Congressmen applauded en masse. The most disgusting display of cowardly grovelling ever.

What are 5 things a president can't do? A PRESIDENT CANNOT . . . Declare war. decide how federal money will be spent. interpret laws. choose Cabinet members or Supreme Court Justices without Senate approval. Especially this GOON!!

It appears that the blanket was just a cover story because what Noem & Lewandowski were really worried about was a personal bag of Noem’s that contained items which could cause her embarrassment.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

One of the best parts of the SOTU. Classic.

“Presumed to be innocent until proven guilty my ass! You're presumed guilty until you unredact the Epstein files because you're hiding them. Innocent people don't do that! Show us what's in those files, Thunder Chicken! Show us what we already suspect.”

Maybe we need to just stop buying chicken and turkey that do not have some kind of seal that says this meat was produced without harming any actual human beings! apple.news/A-zTKKM6LQlO...

Also, the Wizard wasn't mentioned in the Epstein files.

The "paramilitary industrial complex" is a good coinage:

Really weird how the Epstein files were not brought up once during the SOTU.

While President Donald Trump proudly boasted Tuesday during his State of the Union address that he had helped secure $18 trillion in investments into the United States during his first year in office, www.rawstory.com/trump-267533...

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff. For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2069...

Aron Ra put together a very concise and accurate summary of the threat our government now poses to all of us. It would not surprise me to learn that most of BlueSky is on a government hit list. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qFk...

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

HERO 🔥 And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man. Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”

No Democratic President ever used the SOTU to vilify and dehumanize the entire Republican Party the way Trump has against the Dems. He is the most vile, divisive, irredeemably hateful leader our nation has ever had...

The driver of a Tesla Cybertruck claims the vehicle’s faulty self-driving system caused her to crash straight into a concrete barrier. The plaintiff claims misleading self-driving advertisements and cites near overpass accident for injuries.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028. He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

Anyone listening? Hello?
