Trump says a peace deal with Iran is about to happen. Again. Officials in Iran say no deal is about to happen. Again. But, hey, the we’ll-bomb-the-shit-outta-you threats and retreats of our conniving, stock-manipulating Outlaw Prez ARE definitely happening. Again. The grift always matters most.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

If you want to see Loser Trump’s name removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts under a judge’s order, here’s a webcam where you can watch every letter yanked and trashed. You can also sign up for an email alert for when it happens. www.youtube.com/live/BslwLBR...

Pretty sure Donald Trump would label this four-decade-long study as "fake science" or some such. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

While our Outlaw Prez's anti-environment/climate actions are spurring electrification globally, entities that have for decades fought clean energy with deception now work diligently to avoid a shred of accountability for their lies about the impacts of greenhouse gases they say are no big deal.

A bit more about the anti-climate action editorial in drag as a report, from the place where I get to air my views at length:

At no point does this editorial mention maternal health or miscarriage, or show any concern about WHY women have abortions including economic reasons, but it does air some weird sympathy for embryos. A man wrote it. Of course.

NYT is always "progressives should abandon their principles! Sell out! Sell out! SELL OUT!" This is something you will constantly find at the NYT, a piece dressed up as a news article that is editorializing frantically for a political position, not neutrally presenting the facts.

This is one of the many reasons more attention should be paid to Russell Vought, one of Trump’s team who doesn’t post outrageous BS or personal attacks on social media but carries out his depredation behind the scenes. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/omb-is-wag...

Is there some new golden birthday surprise gift being prepared as part of Trump’s rancid takeover of America’s 250th birthday commemoration? Perhaps a bust of Jeffrey Epstein engraved with the words from another birthday: “may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Graham Readfern points out that when scientists revised their WORST-case scenario for climate change, most media mischaracterized the move, as did many politicians around the planet. But they failed to note the BEST-case scenario is now out of the question, too. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Friday marks the beginning of the 16th week of the war on Iran that Donald Trump said would last 2-4 weeks.

1/2 👀 You'll recall Trump's DOJ said that there was *no evidence that Epstein was blackmailing* anyone or he trafficked to anyone (see that doc after the jump). Bill Gates strongly disagrees in his statement to Oversight: 🌐 www.gatesnotes.com/house-oversi... 🧾 www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

The Iran War has once again led to a bout of what @isabelschnabel.bsky.social memorably dubbed 'fossilflation'. It's en vouge to talk about the solution as some massively complex undertaking. It really isn't. Get off fossil fuels faster. My latest just out @nature.com rdcu.be/fdxig

Data centers are serious(ly) damaging industrial facilities. In Alberta, one conglomeration could become the largest single human heat source on the planet. www.theenergymix.com/breaking-ole... Worsening heat island impacts ==> yet another reason to hate unnecessary, inefficient data centers.

"People in the US are poised to endure another summer of unusually ferocious heat and there will be little respite in the years ahead, with a new study finding that the coming 15 years could see a doubling in hospitalizations due to heat-related illnesses."

Solar, wind and geothermal energy is not “alternative energy”, it is the original energy.

Unless your approach to "make America build big things again" is just deleting rules so builders can freely harm people, it really should include building out a big, highly-trained government workforce to interpret and enforce rules and to help builders comply with them. Quickly and in parallel!

Another good thread explaining how ridiculous the 'SpaceX' IPO is. It's a scam from top to bottom.

The phrase "but renewables" keeps showing up in the natural gas trade press. Last week's US numbers Natural gas-fired power generation rose 2% Coal-fired output rose 1% Solar generation jumped 14% Wind generation surged 25% Nuclear gained 1.5%.

Health alone is enough to justify phasing out fossil fuels. Scientists attribute 9 to 19% of all human deaths to fine particulate matter and ozone from burning fossil fuels. Asthma, bronchitis, stroke, lung disease, lung cancer, heart disease, heart attacks. Risks highest for kids and the elderly.

Too bad the Trump organization’s financial doings aren‘t as transparent as the California vote count.

Given his religious views, I am pretty sure when Johnson says “diabolical,” he is being literal not metaphorical.

Donald Trump to Kirsten Welker: “You’re either crooked or you’re stupid.” Once again, our Outlaw Prez projects, stupid and crooked being two of the three key elements of his persona, the third being his relentless hostility to the truth.

"Saudi Arabia scores lowest of all 48 nations, combining the most severe projected warming, the highest fossil fuel dependency and a net zero target not until 2060" #climatecrisis www.reading.ac.uk/news/2026/Un...

And Trump’s sick mind would rather destroy Republicans than fail alone.

Try to imagine another world leader behaving in the manner that this man has. It’s nearly inconceivable. I don’t believe that he has normalized this kind of behavior across the board; he’s just made it normal for him. He’s the president of lowered expectations.

“Perps name is Donny T, goes by John Barron on the dark web. Real sex pervert, walks in on underage girls, sticks his hands in privates, total groper. My source says he hangs out at MSG.”

More of this, please. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

Just enjoyed a timely talk by @lesliedavenport.bsky.social featuring the “climate emotions wheel” - a reminder there’s no one right way to feel about climate change, the important thing is to acknowledge and tend to the full range of emotions so they don’t come out sideways.

"Climate change is leaching oxygen from the ocean by warming surface waters." www.science.org/content/arti...

To Republicans who believe Trump is right in his incessant assertions that Democrats are stealing the California primary election and stole the 2020 election, why cast a ballot at all this year since your vote won’t count anyway? Stay home. And if you receive a mail-in ballot, throw it away.

If other reporters are on the scene when Mr. Misogyny carries out one of these attacks, they should call him out on the spot. As a longtime journalist, I know how hard that would be and how much reporters’ bosses will tsk-tsk them or something harsher. But silence on such attacks abets them.

The remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C could be exhausted by 2030.That may sound far away, but it isn't, says PIK Director #Edenhofer. "2030 is not a distant future. It's the next political cycle, the next infrastructure plan, the next business strategy." Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7EX...

When I first paid attention to politics Republicans were freaking out cause Clinton allowed jeans at the White House. Now republicans are doing cage fighting on the White House lawn.

Good morning 😘 have a great day ☀️☕️🥐🦋🌸🌳💕

Every time Trump responds to a reporter’s question with some version of “the election was rigged and everybody knows it,” every reporter in the room should take a page from our Outlaw Prez: call out that lie and walk out of the room. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How about we put THIS pouty mugshot on a new $3 bill instead of the shot of a pretend tough guy on a new $250?
