Horrifying. And completely man-made.
Prof. Eliot Jacobson: This graphic predicts future temperatures, based on continued accelerated warming:
+1.50°C by 2026
+2.00°C by 2036
+2.50°C by 2045
+2.85°C by 2050
Of course, a lot of non-linearities are possible before 2050. Like a net-zero, carbon-free, sustainable vegan utopia.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

I’m so disheartened that Magas in Congress haven’t condemned these dangerous and disgusting remarks from Trump. Sending good thoughts to you and your colleagues who are being targeted.
Doesn't matter who threats of political violence are targeted against: it needs to be called out and condemned.

I don’t often watch cable news of any kind except when I know that Barb McQuade will be on. Good to hear that she’ll be continuing with her incisive legal commentary.

This is downright evil.
"The attorney in the New York office spoke in depth about the plan being recently updated to include mosques and liberal synagogues in the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s recent win in the New York City mayor’s race."
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

Nixon fought all the way to the Supreme Court to stop recordings of himself talking like this from becoming public. Aside from the substance of guilt they revealed, people really were scandalized to hear POTUS talking like that, and he was mortified. Thus the famous [expletive deleted] transcripts.
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

American history and civics were requirements when I was in high school. These subjects are fundamental.
“We owe it to our young people not to lie to them anymore. A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself.”
I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

Reckless and shameful conduct from Kash Patel, who is woefully unqualified to lead the FBI. The U.S. continues on its isolationist and destructive path.
My latest on the UK cutting back intelligence sharing over fears of the illegal killings Trump and Hegseth are carrying out. This is predictable but surreal at the same time
The UK Has Stopped Sharing Some Intelligence Over Fears of U.S. Illegal Killings
Something extraordinary was just reported, and it should send shockwaves through the United States.

It’s complete madness that we’re even having to discuss this. I may never be a grandmother but I’m going to do my best to ensure that all little ones get the vaccines that my adult kids got and that have saved millions of lives.
"Many of today's grandparents lived through a time when vaccines were unavailable. They remember the itchy fevers of chickenpox, the swelling from mumps, or being quarantined with measles - no school, no playdates and sometimes no happy ending."
