Prince William says all of us here today understand that we are edging dangerously close to Earth’s critical tipping points. The Natural systems which we depend on may begin to unravel. The melting of polar ice, the loss of the Amazon. Sky News says this is climate hysteria. Nobody believes this

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

The university of Michigan released its consumer confidence index.

US consumer confidence is at the lowest level since 1951.

Trump tanked the economy in his first term!

Is he’s doing it to us again?

. . . my thought too, I recalled this story that grabbed the headlines for an hour or two in February.
Musk's DOGE, SpaceX both land at FAA
DOGE plans to expand its footprint at the agency as they work on solutions that "keep the airspace open and safe,” according to the email.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all
a stray dog stands in a bushy area. the dog is blue with golden eyes. he looks majestic as he stares off into the distance. a group of 4 dogs rest together in a bushy area. two of the dogs are tan, one is black, and the last is blue with long, scruffy fur. a blue dog is mid-step as he walks through brush.

Come their reelection years I'm gonna be screeching about their betrayal. Especially Catherine's. I went out of my way to debunk lies from election mail, all through my neighborhood and to anyone I could tell. It was all a huge waste. Could have just voted republican. Wouldn't, but same result.

Because the cruelty is the point and it was never about deporting criminals, it was about deporting non-white immigrants. And maybe some non-white citizens but they haven’t figured out a way to do that yet that isn’t completely illegal (spoiler alert: because there isn’t one). 🤬🤬🤬🤬

All but 20 of the hundreds of migrants at CECOT in El Salvador who were sent back to Venezuela in a prisoner swap have been freed. DHS has said nothing about their release, now that their identities have been revealed and found to have no affiliation with gangs.
