Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

My parents and brother drove thru here 5 minutes before it closed on way to a family reunion in SD
This happened a few miles from where my family lives. Trump and Vance spent all day calling Newsom a pussy for closing the freeway to keep people from dying.

I'm not sure there has ever been a host of an 11:30pm U.S. network late night talk show with as firm a religious and moral grounding. The sort of person where it is impossible to imagine him flipping support Trump for pragmatic reasons. In a sense, this is why he had to go.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.

Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

New @goodauth.bsky.social piece shows that ICE's popularity is plunging:

ICE's net favorability rating went from +15 in early February to -13 in late June.

And support for abolishing the agency altogether has surged since the election.

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car.

They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor.

Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is.

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

This is well done. It was a different world when I was there in the 90s
This is the most Wheaton of all Wheaton responses. If you know you know, and yes, they worked in the word brain.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

This Christianity Today article about Musk's illegal decimation of USAID, and its catastrophic impacts, is very, very good. Republicans need to hear from evangelicals and Catholics who aren't NAR or theobros

Christian partners around the world—suddenly fired, defunded, and without answers—worry that the new administration is done with the development agency.

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

Trump is attacking a bishop for suggesting that he show mercy to fearful people, the marginalized, immigrants, and children.

Yet, Trump pardoned 1500 convicted felons, including those who violently attacked police officers.

This tells us much about what to expect going forward.

He lost California by 3.2 MILLION VOTES. Fraud is vanishingly rare. Even his allies couldn't find evidence of 1,000 cases of voter fraud since 1948, a period during which billions of votes were cast www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res... Truly mad king stuff.
Trump claims he would've won California last year if not for election fraud (this is a lie)
