I mean, folks: as the world welcomes an humbly faithful American as pope, a campaign by a comedian one could describe similarly — premised, perhaps, on reviving joy, moral decency and purpose in a nation soiled by Trump — could be straight fire. (Hold the brimstone.)
Colbert should just run for President. I mean, it worked for Trump when his show was cancelled.

IDK, seems like she could have opted _not_ to vote for the bill on the word of a lawbreaking lifelong liar. I’m no senator, but that seems like a skill issue.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the tax and spending bill to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue orders that she said seem designed to quash such projects.

Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

Does anything in this picture say, "federal agents making a lawful arrest?" Perhaps they identified themselves. But when did it go out of fashion for law enforcement to look like law enforcement?

1) “Sleepy Joe”, the MAGA said. Trump falls asleep and snores at the pope’s funeral-guess the "sleepy Joe" has backfired.

In the US, up to 83% of new solar development by 2040 is forecast to be on farmland & ranchland, says the American Farmland Trust. This highlights the need to build solar on rooftops, brownfields, & already-developed lands — and to use #agrivoltaics.
