How bad does a Trump administration policy have to be for Fox executives to say, 'whoa, fellas, that's a bit much' www.axios.com/2025/10/14/f...

Brilliant obit by @timweiner.bsky.social of the “lock-jawed, rock-ribbed exemplar of a vanishing caste, the liberal Republican.”

The perversity rivals the obscenity: The Bozo Fascist Regime wants to pay wind-power developers a $1 billion taxpayer-funded bribe NOT to build wind farms but instead to develop natural gas. MAKE AMERICA POOR/POLLUTED/STUPID AGAIN. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/c...

Can a doc film make a difference? Director Oren Jacoby talks about the people in This Is Not a Drill who are stopping the dangerous expansion of Big Oil. www.storyville.org/films-tv

Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 100,000 to 200,000 avoidable American deaths per year. At the EPA's statistical value of life of $10 million, these deaths cost America $1 to $2 trillion per year, every year. These costs far outweigh the costs of transitioning off of fossil fuels.

Bad Bunny for president

The paper towels are really flying at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue right now.

An inspiring reminder: it’s not the first time Americans have stood up to an occupying army.

Methane pollution from US oil and gas infrastructure causes more climate change than the entire economies of all but seven nations on earth. (This is with methane's climate impacts conservatively evaluated over a 100-year time frame. Evaluated over shorter time frames, methane's impacts are worse.)

"Among the hires at CBS News announced by Weiss is a doctor who claims he reduced his biological age by 20 years with cold plunges; that cod liver oil treats autism; and that Alzheimer’s and dementia can be reversed with supplements he sells on his online store." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

She’s always insightsful, but today Heather Cox Richardson is particularly brilliant.

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

From Garry to Bari.

I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.

Even in defeat, Cuomo continues his hateful messsge. Sad.

What a difference a year makes.

Side by side on the front page of @NYTimes today: 3 stark stories about how we deal with the impoverished: hide them, starve them, kill them.

At first I wondered if this were an AI fake video not actually posted by our Shitster in Chief. Now I’m asking, how can decent people continue to support this dangerous, deranged man? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

I missed this. Part of the ongoing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social master class in political communication. Hilarious.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

This is the first time former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni has shown his face in such a public way. He says he felt he needed to speak out despite his safety concerns. cbsn.ws/4orCmuO

Watching this now! The once-decorated DOJ attorney telling the truth about the DOJ’s lawlessness.

Yes! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Jimmy Kimmel just now on Donald Trump: “He tried his best to cancel me. Instead he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

I think I’ll sleep better tonight night.

Bye Hulu Bye Disney. Bye whatever else was in that package.

"This is not the intervention that we need, and this is not what our communities deserve." Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson expresses his opposition to Donald Trump's plan to send the National Guard to Memphis. @justinjpearson.bsky.social

Today’s Letter from an American reads like a horror novel. Too bad it’s not fiction.

Who doesn't love badass people outsmarting the oil and gas industry? THIS IS NOT A DRILL premiering at the #TellurideFilmFestival this weekend. Oren Jacoby directing, me producing.

"CRITICS See Big Risks"?! WTF? There aren't 2 sides to this story. Trump destroys CDC, EPA, FEMA -- agencies that protect American health and well being. You don't need a Trump "critic" to tell you that. Would it be "Hitler Rises to Power; Critics See Big Risks"?! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...

The Bozo Fascist is a nonstop, worldwide source of destruction and evil. For example: he's trying to bully other countries out pursuing the much-needed transition from fossil fuels to solar and wind power. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/c...

As we head into the back quarter of 2025, I’ve made a mid-year resolution borrowed from my politically involved daughter: NO HAND WRINGING. Instead…

Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.

Do not come, Donald Trump. You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.
