In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Finally, someone with the courage to stick it to those evil assholes at Habitat for Humanity.
Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity.
He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud.
Which of course is fucking crazy.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic
RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

Look, I love #realmadrid with every fiber of my being but can someone please tell me why Julian Alvarez's goal wasn't a goal? Can anyone really show a replay where it's clear he definitively touched the ball with both feet?

I'd like to live in a version of this country where A. The 2028 election actually happens bc we haven't descended fully into a fascist dictatorship by then and B. The winning ticket is some combo of @aoc.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social. This is it. The final shred of optimism I have left.

President-elect Trump promised voters that he would cut energy and electricity prices in half within 18 months of taking office. But energy industry experts noted that a president has limited influence on how much Americans pay at the pump, and even less leverage when it comes to electricity prices.
