Lol we don't do endorsements

Members of Congress can't defend its Constitutional authority over the federal purse but can they defend the rim? Find out tonight.

As the carbon majors rake in windfall profits from Trump’s illegal Iran war, oil-soaked Republicans are helping these climate murderers hide the corpse.

FY2027 MilCon-VA appropriations was reportedly favorably out of the appropriations committee unanimously, 58-0.

Wanna catch up on the big D.C. races ahead of the June 16 primary? The D.C. Office of Campaign Finance is holding debates for At-Large Council candidates, attorney general candidates, and mayoral candidates. The debates next week are required for anyone taking public financing.

NEWS: A federal judge has saved the 15th Street protected bike lane (for now), saying the decision to remove the lane running from Constitution Avenue to the Tidal Basin was "arbitrary and capricious and not the result of reasoned decision-making." It was to be removed this week.

Keep the murder police money flowing!

America's Main Street -- Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and Congress -- is about to get a major makeover. You have until April 30th to add your public comments to the National Capital Planning Commission. www.ncpc.gov/initiatives/...

Sometimes when a national politician says something that seems crazy or stupid to you it's because they're just being crazy or stupid, but usually you're not part of the group that is the intended audience. And that group is more important to the politician than yours.

nepooooootism

Democrats continue to be reasonable adults trying to negotiate with sociopathic toddlers

I should just pin this

A frog would have jumped out long ago. via @wildweatherdan.bsky.social

Ted Cruz sure knows how to celebrate Earth Day

Bernie should show up

This is happening inside the United States

The big money California Dems who bet on Swalwell are now desperately trying to sell Becerra

thank goodness for #dcclimateweek because what Congress is doing this week...not great.

i hate it when a billionaire gives me hand, foot, and mouth disease

a lot of data center goons at the DC Climate Week Leadership Forum tomorrow

my one dream is to have the phrase "impacts of climate" be tossed in the dustbin

Watch the DC Climate Week opening ceremonies livestream in progress #dcclimateweek @canarymedia.com

celebrate Earth Day with fossil-fuel fascists

BP is back in the Gulf of Mexico's deep water! Kaskida is BP’s first completely new oilfield approved in the Gulf since their Deepwater Horizon disaster. @earthjustice.org @biologicaldiversity.org @sierraclub.org @healthygulf.bsky.social @turtleisland-org.bsky.social are suing.

It's unironically great to see House GOP promoting DEI for our National Parks this week! Hearing Wednesday at 10 am naturalresources.house.gov/calendar/eve... @naturalresources.bsky.social

From the eye of a hurricane to the ice sheets of Greenland, Jack Williams spent a lifetime bringing weather and climate stories to the public. AMS honors Williams (1937–2026), founding editor of USA Today’s weather page and a pioneer in science communication. Read more: https://bit.ly/4sKZ7vr

btw when DC pundits and pols complain about "purity politics" what they mean is "stop complaining about my concentration-camp-lobbyist contributions"

a lotta good former @washingtonpost.com folks might be up for working with @afreedma.bsky.social ....

GEO Group's top D lobbyist Richard Lyles Sullivan has been showering Democrats across the country with Trump concentration-camp cash

When you are @theonion.com's version of yourself

In many ways Punchbowl News is essential Hill reporting. But in important ways it's toxic trash. Compare these mentions of the House bills this week...

as everyone knows, a white flag is the most powerful form of protest

Buried the Iran debacle and FISA meltdown, the House passed attacks on the Clean Air Act last week that would increase American pollution deaths. 6 Democrats joined Rs for the FENCES Act (to pretend pollution from overseas isn't pollution) and 7 Ds joined Rs for the RED Tape Act (to hobble the EPA).

By this logic AFT should get rid of its dues

The Great Displacement

The answer to this question might be pretty simple. Trading is dominated by algorithms fed by a real-time news corpus. I don't think they've sufficiently factored in Trump's propensity for baldface lying yet

IOKIYAR

This report came out today by minority staff of the House science committee on how three NASA missions were aborted due to NASA illegally following the FY26 president's budget request instead of congressionally approved budget. Very important reading. 🔭🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/staff-report...

The filibuster threshold now applies to less and less of the Senate business.

Oops. Oh well, nevertheless

The goon squad illegally occupying the capital is expanding their footprint

Criminal ICE goon Todd Lyons is on his way out, hoping to benefit from a blanket Trump pardon before the regime falls

BREAKING: An ICE charter landed in the Democratic Republic of Congo minutes ago following third-country deportation deal with the Trump administration. gillianbrockell.com/breaking-ice...

When Americans tell pollsters taxes are too high, they mean that they don't like how the government is spending the public purse. When billionaires tell us taxes are too high (they don't need pollsters, they just own media outlets), they mean they don't like the existence of the public purse.

DOGE baby!

@telliotter.bsky.social is keeping track of the DOGE rats. Many of them have burrowed into key governmental positions.

Selling off the nation for parts. Will help build a few more data centers though.

yes Vought meant he has tried harder than anyone else to kill FEMA
