Chinook salmon found naturally hatching in Upper Klamath River for first time in a century The Klamath Tribes are celebrating evidence of Chinook salmon spawning in Klamath River tributary.

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

The whisper network that caught up to Eric Swalwell Warnings about the lawmaker had long circulated privately. Then a handful of women and online creators pushed them into public view, forcing California’s political establishment to reckon with how far...

Several important nuggets in here:

• One lobbyist: "Were we willing to delude ourselves or not ask questions that should have been asked? 1000%"
• His campaign started sending cease-and-desists last year

Objectively a victory for the pro-Palestinian bloc that J-Street has gone from being the center-left rearguard against any and all substantive criticism of Israel to relenting on one of the most perverse elements of the US-Israel relationship, which is unlimited, unconditional, free military aid.

JStreet moving like this greatly increases the chances the median Dem congressperson, who is wildly out of step with the base on Israel, actually moves towards a Block the Bombs-type position and beyond. This is a permission structure for change.
