Nice interview with a nice guy, as far as it goes. But here are a few things a KY-based journalist would have included in a piece about Andy's presidential appeal. A short 🧵 www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Even the bullet head Joe Rogan is turning against ICE.

Signers include every living former Fed Reserve Chair, going back nearly 40 years, as well as five former Treasury Secretaries.

The Fed Chair out here with more stones than most members of Congress or CEOs.

C'mon Niners, win this for Bobby!

What would Paine make of current American affairs?

CA bills to speed two #CleanEnergy solutions: one would make it easier to add plug in, or balcony, solar for rental units and heat pumps, the other clears red tape for heat pump installations.

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

So far I've done a 5 mile run every day of 2026. So far so good.

Happy #caturday from Jello, the one-eyed tabby living his best life on a fireside lap.

Siri, show me an image that perfectly encapsulates the future of humanity and technology.

Reposting now that we have to smuggle in foreign broadcasts to watch 60 Minutes.

...the United States, “it turns out to get crazier and crazier in public health from month to month,” Dr. Hviid said. “It is surreal, and it is difficult, from a Danish perspective, to understand what’s going on.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h...

I'm not a huge fan of the NYT word game Strands but today's puzzle was pretty clever. Strands #652 “Palette episodes” 🟢🔵⚪️📺 🟡🟡⚪️🔵 🟢

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year. This is not normal and we don't have to live this way. bradyunited.org @bradyunited.org

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

"How a Global ‘Climate Reset’ Could Change the Fight Against Warming" @jefftheyoung.bsky.social for @newsweek.com: www.newsweek.com/global-clima...

Just got a "client satisfaction" survey request from #COP30 and, hoo-boy. Let's see: transportation nightmare, sweltering venue, leaking roof, toilets out of service, very little food--oh, and the place caught fire.

Flames destroying the protective layer at #COP30 climate talks? A screenwriter would be deemed a hack for such a scene. But as emissions rise even as we near the end of yet another extraordinarily hot year, the truth of our #climate crisis is stranger than fiction. www.newsweek.com/the-roof-is-...

As metaphors go, the global climate talks venue *catching fire* is a bit on the nose. #COP30 #climate

Mark "Appalachian Trailer Trash" Sanford? And RFK "brainworm" Jr? Wow. Did Nuzzi that coming.

Scenes outside #COP30 this morning.

Headline says dog "Accidentally" shot the man, but the story lisys three other such "accidental" doggy discharges. 🤔 I hope McGruff is on this case. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

ICE vs the clergy

Thanks to the Hi House COP30 Newsroom for this lively discussion this morning in Belem. youtu.be/QAM-p_CnD0Y?...

A small group of protesters blocked the main entrance to the "blue zone" of #COP30 this morning in Belém. On Tuesday demonstrators clashed with security. Submitted video.

A far bigger security presence at #Cop30 today in Belem following a skirmish Tuesday between demonstrators and guards.

Behind the scenes at preparation for COP30 in Belem where they are, ahem, stapling fake greenery on the Saudi exhibition. A bit on the nose, frankly.

Greetings from Belem where things are not quite ready for showtime. Hours from opening the main exhibition hall is a frenzied construction zone. OTOH, there is Amazon Beer.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Hi friends, I'm heading to Belem today for #COP30. If you're there or have tips, hit me up. Meanwhile, here's a little preview. www.newsweek.com/who-and-what...

Consumer protection and Constitutional protection are not opposite ends of the political spectrum. Why is this so hard for DC pols to figure out?

"There's simply a limit to how much and how long you can postpone the action required," scientific editor Anne Olhoff told me. “We will see more intense extreme events." www.newsweek.com/disappointin...

A reminder that there's more to Cheney's legacy than just unjustified war and torture chambers.

Evidence of what Sen. @whitehouse.senate.gov called "gangster" tactics by the US to kill clean shipping rules: ““People being summoned to the U.S. Embassy in London — intimidation, threats of cessation of business, threats of family members losing visas.” www.politico.eu/article/us-a...

Just in from the DOE...Trick or Treat! Specifically, treats for coal barons, tricks for our clean air and climate.

And then.... Seven 8 Nine!

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Bill Gates has some things to say about #climate change ahead of COP30. Bjorn Lomborg calls it "brave"; @michaelemann.bsky.social calls it "horrifying." www.newsweek.com/bill-gates-d...

One of the greats.
