My very online 22 year old son tells me that most people on 4 Chan now hate Trump and think he is a clown. This is very different from a year ago. Anecdotal, but interesting.

Agree 100% with this.
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

A hygiene center, for 700 people "the only place to take a shower, wash clothes, fix a bike, get a sweater, blanket, or hot meal…while enjoying a little bit of community", was closing so the land could be sold.

@ericidle.bsky.social really bummed to see Spamalot running at the Kennedy Center. I'm sure you're not excited to see the show's name and "Trump" on the same ticket. Any plans to address it?

Democrats need to get ahead of something for once and go all-in on the data center fight.

It’s the perfect wedge issue against billionaires and Trump.

NEW: Colorado Sens Hickenlooper and Bennet announce they're putting a hold on the Senate appropriations package to demand funding for NCAR.

Bennet said today that the Trump administration's move to dismantle the climate/weather lab is retaliation for Tina Peters' imprisonment.

Sen. Mike Lee has introduced an amendment to the Interior appropriations bill that would remove language preventing the sale of national parks and other protected lands.

It could pave the way for the Trump administration to sell off #NationalParks to the highest bidder.

A particular weather event isn't climate. But Trump picked a heckuva day to announce the closure of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. 67° F in Salt Lake City one week ahead of Christmas. These extreme weather events aren't one offs, anymore. They are part of a dangerous pattern.

Like Trump, RFK Jr. is leading a revenge tour against anyone who criticizes him. His latest target? Pediatricians. This cruel escalation of his Make America Sick agenda means more infants will die, more kids will get sick, and more families will suffer—all because RFK Jr. is a snowflake.

This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative.

Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.
This is extremely important

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.
