You know what would be a great way to celebrate Mamdani’s historic win? Donate to a food bank. Give to community fridges. Call and check on your disabled or elderly neighbour and see if they need groceries. SNAP still hasn’t been funded and people need help now.

Out of all the stats that will be in history books from Melissa, this is the most astounding to me. GLM data was recording a peak flash rate of 700 strikes per minute — nearly 12 per second — as it made landfall on Jamaica. That’s rewriting our understanding flash density in tropical cyclones.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: We are in a critical moment right now, y'all. So I need you to take this call to action seriously. Make sure your Senator knows that you want ACA healthcare credits extended and an end to the shutdown, not one or the other.

"There were many dark days over the last year as we endured daily assaults on democracy.... We did not relent. We did not quit. We endured, abided, and battled. On Tuesday, we voted. We, the people, asserted our “consent of the governed.” open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Here's an incredible election result that's being slept on: Duluth passed a first-in-the-state Tenants Right to Repair ordinance! TakeAction MN and its ascendant Duluth Tenants Union fought hard for this ballot question and won a huge victory for tenants rights in a market which really needs it

Attacks on vote-by-mail and voting machines have not stopped despite orderly elections conducted nationwide this week. Our position has not changed. Eliminating vote-by-mail and voting machines is a direct attack on America's freedom to vote. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social

"stablecoins" are a ponzi scam, just like other crypto currency, and pretending they aren't is just setting yourself up to get ripped off.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Like shoppers aren't going to notice that this is a blatant lie. He must think we're as stupid as he is.

On a lighter note, it is Guy Fawkes day in the UK. Every year, I delight in the faces of people who’ve never heard of it, having it explained for the first time “Sorry an effigy? That you burn? Of Catholics from the 1600s? And everyone turns up to watch it?”
