The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

In his amicus brief on release of the special counsel report, Trump argues: “As the President-Elect and soon-to-be 47th President, President Trump has an interest in a smooth transition and efficacious vesting of executive power."
And irony is dead right there.

People need to know that the FBI doesn’t make the call on Cabinet nominees. They investigate, and they say, “Here’s what we found. Here’s what troubles us.” Private vetting firms don’t have the powers the FBI has, and their loyalty is to whomever is paying them. @nbcbayarea.bsky.social

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

The MAGA Republican plan in Congress is to cut Social Security and Medicare, and repeal the Affordable Care Act, so they can give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
Do not let them tell you otherwise and be prepared to fight every step of the way.
We will stop them AGAIN!

The REAL story on Pam Bondi, Trump University, and Trump's $25,000 payment to Bondi:

This is exactly right. Trump’s big advantage is that he’s playing tic-tac-toe without a pencil but somehow convinces people he’s multiverse time-travel chess.
There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.
