I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

Would've been better from Secretary Hegseth, but still...

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich 
Well, today we're taxing the rich...

I've seen estimates between 700 million and 2 billion parking spaces in the U.S. And, of course, not all of them are parking lots with 80 or more spaces. But still an incredible wasted opportunity (so far, we can still do this).

@volts.wtf Thank you for all you do. Do you have any estimate for when the episode with the folks from Energea might come out?

I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman. Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.

There's going to be a tariff on Vatican City tomorrow, isn't there?

This is quite the image to go with this story.

One year ago, Peter Navarro touted 90 trade deals in 90 days

Umm, what are we even doing here Washington Post?

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

In January, the Under Secretary of War summoned Pope Leo XIV’s then-cardinal ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture. America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.

ERA-5 data is in. March was indeed the warmest on record in the US. What’s even more astonishing is the trend. Since 1940 March in the US has warmed 7.2°F (~9° per century & accelerating). The pace is remarkable. Imagine if it continues. Thanks @climatologist49.bsky.social for the great tool!

FYI: the smell of smoke around Denver this morning is from the 10-acre Bear Creek Fire in Douglas County. I’d expect the faint smoke smell to stick around most of today. Probably a stronger smell in south metro. #COwx

Watched Nuremberg on Netflix tonight. Worth your time.

Colorado's statewide snow water equivalent is 3.3". That's our average snowpack level on...May 30th. In other words: Colorado is currently on pace to melt off its snowpack (or just about) in mid-late April, roughly two *months* earlier than average. #COwx

Fascinating ..

I would like to see the betting markets on this. I would also like to see some "insider trading" suggesting that we might know soon...

fwiw, the wait at TSA pre-check on Terminal 1 at San Diego airport this morning at 8:00 am was 30 seconds.

Pege Hegseth's chief of staff tried to block the promotion of a black female combat veteran because, as the article notes, "President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events" in Washington DC

"we" doing a lot of work. Also if you recall, the Japanese Empire attacked the US, the US didn't get involved in WW2 because a cabinet of sycophants wanted to make FDR feel better about himself bsky.app/profile/atru...

Around 7000 Americans were killed on Iwo Jima and 19,000 wounded, and it was part of a campaign that ended with a nuclear weapon being used, so maybe not the wisest comparison.

Thank you @tsa.gov Pretty smooth at DIA this morning. Appreciate what you do.

Unless there's a sudden shift in weather conditions, preliminary estimates show that 2026 set another new record low maximum extent for #Arctic sea ice. This follows very closely with last year, which previously set the record. Not good! Download graphic at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Never seen anything like this. 200+ monthly records set today alone! Every pink dot means a city set its new all-time highest March temperature! That’s around 570 new monthly records in the last 4 days. Some set multiple times. By far the most rogue #heatwave the US has experienced in memory.

But the news media told me Trump had adopted a new softer tone

UPDATE: Fremont County officials ordered mandatory evacuations for people living near the 24 fire on Friday afternoon, including Penrose. The evacuation area includes homes within 2 miles of Fremont County Road F45 and Colorado 115, sheriff’s officials said at 2:25 p.m.

Seems like a good time to repost this... fischfinancial.org/2025/02/13/t...

I've been thinking about the "You can't handle the truth!" scene in A Few Good Men. It strikes me that today's GOP - along with at least 45% of U.S. voters - would side with Jack Nicholson's character.

It's officially Denver's hottest March day on record. 85° at DIA (and downtown) = hottest March day in 154 years of official records. And it'll be even hotter tomorrow and Saturday. #COwx

The next move, I hope, is @robertgarcia.bsky.social holding a press conference asking why the attorney general won't give testimony under oath about the sex trafficking ring that likely implicates the president. And then another the next day. And the next. And the next.
