Puget Sound waterspout!

doesn't seem like Trump's unholy war is over does it

Trump working hard to move Florida back into the Democratic column

The only part of the Vought testimony worth watching: "VOUGHT'S CUTS KILL PEOPLE"

I wonder if the nuclear accident guaranteed by Trump's wrecking of the NRC will happen while he's still on the throne

we should probably only elect women but if we're going to elect guys I'd rather pick the ones who apologize about being assholes and idiots in their 20s than the ones trying to stay that way

Today, these Dems likely to hand Trump-Kash Patel FISA Section 702 power to access Americans' emails, texts, calls without a warrant @meeks.house.gov @jahimes.bsky.social @adamsmith.house.gov "undecided" While Trump admin appears poised to abuse such powers against bogus "antifa" affiliates.

Zoom today with the filmmakers: The White House Effect explores how Bush 41 went from campaigning on addressing global warming during and in the wake of the then-record heat wave and drought of 1988, to heading an Administration that undermined the science.

Four of the five known emperor penguin breeding sites in the Bellingshausen Sea collapsed in 2022, with the loss of thousands of chicks. Another colony in the Weddell Sea collapsed in 2016. The current emperor penguin population has fallen by 10% between 2009 and 2018.

Vought’s proposed budget consolidates the regime’s victories in implementing Project 2025 through the DOGE chainsaw in the pursuit of a Big Brutal Box vision of a landscape of warehouses for incarcerating people and fueling computing hyperclusters...

Chris Wright takes the stage on the Hill this week I have no idea why the preview says "Take your -==="

lol Stephen Miller ain't planning to have them leave on Dec 31

oops @gluesenkampperez.house.gov has joined the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge Wall of Shame: "Broke pledge by taking tens of thousands of dollars in oil money". To correct the record, she also took coal and fracked-gas money

looks fun to me

The Trump DOE budget is a real pick-your-own Torment Nexus of nuclear winter ($30 billion nuclear weapon budget), global burning (elimination of $20 billion in climate & clean energy funding and increase of $2 billion for fossil fuels), or grey goo ($1 billion for AI)

lol the @nature.org "The president’s proposed budget falls short when it comes to investing in nature." The budget proposes to shoot Mother Nature and set fire to her corpse.

@aptshadow.bsky.social have you read / done any explorations of A.R. Luria's research into how literacy changes the way people are capable of perceiving the world?

It's worth noting here that these aren't bombings. This is demolition The IDF are able to freely walk around here and rig these obviously residential properties with demolition explosives, so it's not like there's any threat at all to them This is, VERY clearly, the war crime of wanton destruction

Abundance agenda!

Solidarity in action: Ezra Klein has now used his template "I admire other podcasting bros" essay for both Charlie Kirk and Hasan Piker now

Plot twist: Trump is a @greenpeace.org sleeper agent

The Ward 1 Dems endorsement meeting was an amazing event! It took the whole effort of the precinct representatives on Ward One Democratic Committee to manage check in and credentialing, ballot design, production and distribution, and counting... So much counting!!

Yesterday former secretary of state John Kerry told Jen Psaki of The Briefing that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had urged presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and George W. Bush to strike Iran, and they all refused him. Only Trump was willing to go along.

Most people who only see her on TV don't know that Collins is a giantess

I have to agree with Mike Johnson (R-La., no relation) here "The midterm election will be a contrast between common sense and crazy..."
