You spelled it incorrectly. It’s “Mar-El-Loco.” ;)

Don’t forget the gold Trump prize given by Tim Apple.

EPA proposes gutting rules for handling toxic coal ash, a move that threatens groundwater The Trump administration on Thursday proposed weakening rules for the disposal of ash produced by burning coal that can contain hazardous heavy metals and contaminate groundwater.

Lost in the news the past few days is the Trump administration proposing to weaken rules that limit how coal companies handle toxic waste that can reach groundwater.

The new rule would let states grant exemptions from standards that keep contaminants like mercury & lead away from your water supply.

No and yes, in that order.

At one point, I was certain it was as much for tax avoidance as his other stated reason of ‘bad feelings’ but I’m in the camp that it is better to stay in one’s country and push for change than to jump ship like a rat. That goes for any country, not just the states.

@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social I agree with this, but whenever I see Bill Browder I am reminded that he willingly renounced his US citizenship. Perhaps there are other people who you could feature that don’t have this baggage?

Forest Service Will Close Research Stations That Study Wildfire Risk Scientists say their work on fires and climate change could be lost as the agency moves its headquarters to Utah from Washington and shuts 57 research stations.

The U.S. Forest Service is closing 57 of its 77 research facilities in 31 states under a reorganization plan announced this week, threatening science that looked at how wildfires, drought, pests and global warming are putting pressure on forests.

Poland PM: 🇵🇱

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. #USForestService

I opened the link, thinking to myself that they better’ve talked to @wardcarroll.bsky.social. Sure enough, they did.

37 indictments, plus:

Trump associates repeatedly lied about their contacts with Russians.

Trump refused to answer questions about his obstruction.

A statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors, that anyone else who engaged in that obstructive conduct would have been indicted.

fair point. I hadn't considered that. What's happened to the WaPo is a disgrace, for sure.

Why the objection? NYT need to pay their staff, right? Registration just helps them do a little prospecting for future customers.

Disagree somewhat. He probably believes that speaking out would do little to sway MAGAs or Trump himself. And despite his flaws, pushing for PEPFAR alone should grant all of us some grace in considering him and his administration.

These 52 people could have stopped a national and a world catastrophe any time they chose to. They confirmed Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, et al, okayed DOGE and tariffs, and green lighted Trump’s military attacks. The country and the world reels. Fifty-two people.

So is the book.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Probably so.

how does Mrs. Holmes have access to the internet while incarcerated?

Meet the ‘Cabal’-Hating ‘Special Government Employee’ Involved in the Fulton County FBI Raid Clay Parikh unloaded in a nearly two hour conversation with TPM.

This @hunterw.bsky.social story about his encounter with one of Trump's paranoid special agents is, in a word, gobsmacking. It includes a Ron Swanson reference that will make @kentremendous.bsky.social shake his head (at least.) If you don't already, support TPM talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

you couldn't make this up if your life depended on it. :(

This podcast was very informative podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

25th Amendment now.

PTL!

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...

Arizona, November 2020

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

done!

Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion (Gift Article) The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

it's always transactional and almost always a grift. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

#2 is better - bad dogs! bad!

Interrupting services is a lot less rude than violence, no?
