People's houses or towns burning down or washing away is bad for prosperity, and so are the 8 million or so annual deaths from fossil-fuel particulates. Hurricane Helene was extremely bad for western North Carolina prosperity. Island nations going underwater, ditto.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Congratulations Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard on LANDSLIDE statewide victories in Georgia.
These wins prove the massive grassroots energy powering Georgia Dems and unstoppable turnout juggernaut the Democratic Party of Georgia is building with the leadership of Chair Charlie Bailey.

Now Trump is using the same word in D.C. To them, “liberation” means clearing streets with troops, rounding up the vulnerable, and calling it freedom. In the United States, we don’t “liberate” our people from the government they themselves elected.

I cannot emphasize this enough: the president's claims about Washington D.C., crime and homelessness are lies. He is lying about crime rates. He is lying about the state of lawlessness. He is lying about who is homeless in D.C., what we know about homelessness and how to end homelessness there.

Thank you, advocates, Democrats, and a few Republicans still willing to do *something* good when faced with intense push back.
I launched the Bipartisan Public Lands Caucus to protect access to the places that define who we are—and we just delivered our first victory: stopping a plan to sell off thousands of acres of public land in Utah and Nevada. Public lands stay in public hands.

This isn’t just another bill. It’s the Project 2025 playbook written into law. This bill abuses budget reconciliation rules to jam through non-budget items, like education authority rollbacks, environmental deregulation, and civil service purges. Read the fine print. Read the bill!

Sen. Durbin does what Bluesky demands, and instead of praise/thanks he gets dunked on more. It’s the way of (this tiny corner) of the world.
