the Colorado river stuff is so funny because it's literally the Dril candle tweet. Stop growing so much alfalfa.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation just released 'beyond awful' projections for the Colorado River's massive reservoirs — ratcheting up the stakes for already-tense negotiations over the future of the river.
Alarmingly low Colorado River levels put water talks under pressure
California shoots pointed words at states upriver, as negotiators struggle toward sharing supplies. Without a deal, the Trump Administration will step in.

ultimately in my view it comes down to: the right wing doesn't understand anything but solidarity, and the left wing understands everything else, and solidarity is so powerful it's a bloody fight to the bitter end forever.

Democrats remain vulnerable to the right's framing on an endless series of ginned-up moral panics.
Dems' instinct is always to meet the right halfway on whatever bullshit they've cooked up.
This is a result of not have their own policy platform beyond diet fascism and slightly less corruption.

the two central truths of american politics are:
1. more than the norm for liberal democracy, almost nothing matters to US voters in the aggregate as much as near-term economic prospects for the middle class
2. both parties want the middle class gone but rarely feel like spelling that out

As of May 2025, there is a new COVID variant known as NB.1.8.1.
Originating in China, and has been detected in multiple US states.
It’s a highly transmissible subvariant, so good thing the Three Stooges have everything under control. Take it away, Moe, Larry, and Curly.

Americans favor labor unions over big business now more than ever, analysis of new data @epi.org from me & Adam Reich of Columbia Labor Lab.
In data back 60 years, Americans' sentiments are both warmer toward unions & cooler towards big business than ever before.

350,000 people woke up this morning with legal status, living and working here with official permission. They'll go to bed as undocumented immigrants facing deportation.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
