Reminder: current Chief Justice John Roberts was one of the WH lawyers in Bush II writing memoranda that authorized exercise of executive powers in war on terrorism. If any case makes it way to SCOTUS to challenge these claims, the chief justice has already signaled his vote for the WH
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
It gets even darker than that. 1/

Trump Boat Bombings Take Dark, Unnerving Turn with Leaked Memo Stunner
A new Trump administration memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the administration says so!

La Nina is here and the global cool-down is well underway (global mean sea surface temps are lowest since March 2023).
Remember it's not the individual ups & downs that matter, it's the steady warming trend, which will continue until we reach zero carbon emissions.

Early voted!
Aftyn Behn is the best US House candidate I’ve ever had as a choice on my ballot.
At my polling place they said the turnout has been 4-5 times higher than during the primary. Wow! With this energy TN District 7 is going to flip blue despite the dirty gerrymander of Nashville.

Trump is so dumb sometimes. he thinks by going after Dems connected to Epstein it will some how help him. Like Dem electeds will back off because they are scared. The difference between GOP and Dems is that GOP won't hold Trump accountable, Dems say hold them all accountable.

Take a minute to watch. It will make your heart sing that such beautiful creatures exist and dance!
Earlier in the year I drove 9600 miles to do Milky Way photography.
Between that, work, my health, and the terrors, I'm exhausted.
I promised myself no more trips over 100 miles from home for the year, unless critical for the union.
I broke that promise Saturday.
Worth it.
Final version. 🪶
