What’s driving the upcoming record breaking cold snap?? It’s widespread warmth (up-to 30F above normal) and intense blocking in the Arctic/ Greenland/N Canada. That is squeezing out the (tropospheric) Cold Polar Vortex and forcing it south deep into the US… 1/

Trans folks reading this: don't panic too much, the supreme court thing is about injunctions pending a larger court case Cis folks reading this: Try to understand how terrifying it is to be a minority the government openly hates, and they start fucking with your ability to *leave the country*

Since no one took advantage of this awesome special yesterday, I’m making it good through today!

Nick Fuentes says people better be careful about calling him a Nazi "because if I'm a Nazi, then there's millions of young people that are following a fucking Nazi." Um, yeah, that's exactly what we've been warning about!

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

"Hey, man, what message should we push today as we deliberately deny millions of Americans their food benefits?"

Ellis orders that agents wear "conspicuous identification" in two separate places and wear and activate body-worn cameras while engaging in enforcement actions.

Is there some kind of, say, "basket" that Lindsey would put the other wing of the party into?

This part is crazy... because he truly lacks any form of empathy and self awareness

Judge Ellis is on the bench this morning about to rule in the case about DHS's use of force in Chicago. Things are not going well for DHS — she just accused Gregory Bovino of lying under oath about his use of force.

“Hundreds of CBP agents are arrested every year for a range of criminal activity and misconduct … In fact, CBP agents are arrested for corruption at a per-capita rate that exceeds any other federal agency. Corruption is so pervasive, that the FBI launched a campaign to address it at the border.“

This is complete hogwash

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Migrating wild birds are spreading the virus to domesticated flocks, increasing the risk of eventually seeing a human outbreak. Scientists are troubled by the muted federal response. n.pr/4913a0E

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

When I recently told an executive about the North Korean remote workers' scheme, he almost shit his pants. Known as a triple threat, North Koreans gain real jobs at Western firms, earn a wage, then steal data and extort them when they get caught. All to make the regime money for nuclear weapons.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

I'm confused about the video clips Trump is pushing out on Truth Social and YouTube right now. They're all shorter clips on various topics, but I'm not sure where they were shot or why they were done in this style behind a podium talking directly to camera.

supreme court poised to side with "No We Shouldn't" in landmark case "We Should Shoot The Economy In The Head For No Reason v. No We Shouldn't"

The World Bank’s latest data shows a quiet global triumph: 93% of people aged 15 to 24 can now read and write. In many regions youth literacy has reached or neared universal levels, marking one of the most successful, least reported stories in development. buff.ly/vnsUhLo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Apparently it's "communist" to retain a rent stabilization system which has been in place since 1941, but it's "capitalist" for Trump to insist that the federal government take a controlling stake in dozens of companies with which he engages.

I see no reason why Democrats should start buckling on the shutdown after tonight

Big elections occurring across the nation tonight, the vote for the mayor of Marietta where a 16 year incumbent is facing off against a young progressive candidate and this race is CLOSE

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

Shutting the government down AND cutting off funds for food stamps, right before an election was a masturful move. Compliments to the chef.

Wow. JD Vance’s younger brother is losing in an absolute landslide in the Cincinnati mayor election after JD endorsed him.

What we know so far, 9:30pm —Dems flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani up —Dems seem to flip 2 statewide offices in GA —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincy. —Dems sweep Orlando council —PA: Dem justices up big —Maine anti-mail vote measure down —Krasner wins

i guess we will never know if they were ICE or not

yup, it's a non-ideological cross-cutting campaign that can help dems perform well with people aligned with them on an axis other than D vs R (this is also how trump won in 2024, just with prices)

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

My partner saw a giant black plume drifting over our neighborhood here in Louisville. Five minutes later, a shelter-in-place warning went off on our phones. A UPS cargo plane crashed. At least 3 people are dead, if not more. The air smells horrible, and big pieces of ash are falling in my yard.

DirectFile, free covid tests via USPS, child tax credit: federal programs that worked and benefited ordinary people and therefore had to be ended in case everyone got used to it

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t something like this incentivize people who are betting actual money that Mamdani will lose to then go out and pursue actions to shore up their bet? (voting against him, convincing others to vote against him, intimidate potential voters, etc.)

Maybe they should try urging loudly.

Dick Cheney walked so Stephen Miller could run

I can't describe how beautiful tonight's murder of crows against a red sky was. I'm kindof emotional about it. 50% speed. Narrative video in next post 🪶

My assessment of where America stands, one year after the election. A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet:

i feel like most people's arguments for daylight savings are at root just complaints about the existence of winter in temperate latitudes. no amount of messing with the clock will change the basic reality that it gets dark in the winter. permanent standard time is the way to go.

it’s actually hilarious that Trump already tried to repeal congestion pricing, failed miserably, and has no other moves other than asking Duffy to “look into it” again

We’re in a strange limbo where secret police are routinely beating, disappearing, and shooting everyday people in public, but they’ve not yet consolidated enough power to stop us from talking about it on social media. That imbalance prob can’t last. Either we roll them back or this gets rolled up .

The surface danger zone for sandwiches really depends on the ingredients tbh. An Italian sub, for example, has a high frag rate because of the bread consistency but better aerodynamic range, while a croque monsieur and the Rueben have less range but more splatter.
