"Dr. Jesus," LOL.

JFC. 🤬

Just want to be clear that when RFK Jr. said in the hearing today that he is “overhauling” the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, it is because this administration wants to reduce the number of services that health insurance companies are required to cover.

A few years ago, the Six Flags theme park in my suburban town wanted to "go green" by clearcutting 70 acres of forest buffer and installing a solar panel field. And despite months of public testimony demanding solar panels be put over parking lot instead, our idiot planning board said OK.

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

As an organizer, I’m grateful to be running a grassroots, people-powered campaign with supporters from every walk of life.

People are scared and hurting.

We must reject the MAGA extremism that got us here.

And with four decades in the House, his seniority should rank him as a leader with considerable power. But he chooses to hide behind the curtains, hoping he won't be seen.

Smith (a Catholic who claims to be pro-life and a champion for human rights, but whose action proves he is none of the three) is the biggest coward in Congress.

Oh my God.

This may win the prize for insane normalization.

One of Minnesota's most unhinged right-wing posters is the state’s newest immigration judge • Minnesota Reformer A right-wing attorney and influential X user who has amplified racist conspiracies and fringe legal theories, will make decisions on which immigrants will be deported in his new job as an immigration judge.

Tucker Collins is 18. A USC freshman. He went to the LA No Kings rally on March 28 with a camera. He came home without an eye. A DHS agent fired a “less-lethal”projectile that destroyed his eyeball and fractured his eye socket. He was documenting the protest and just taking pictures.

The magic of the Trumpers is combining immorality with weakness.

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

You could write a book about the way NYT massacres the English language every time it talks about Israel. Indeed, in 1946, George Orwell did. It's "Politics and the English Language."

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

Within the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in NH is the 25-acre "bird plot." Since 1969, there’s been a record—a map—of nearly every breeding bird that has spent time on that plot since 1969. Now those maps are yielding insights into how communities of migratory songbirds shape their territories.

Jeff Bezos' Editorial Board Calls Trump's AG Pick, Who Lobbied for Amazon, 'Qualified' The Washington Post's editorial board gave a thumbs up for Trump's attorney general pick Pam Bondi, who previously lobbi

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.

Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.

Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

In all this, I continue to be shocked, daily, at how unserious our political opposition leadership has behaved in the face of an actual attempted fascist takeover of the United States

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow.

The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

WOW!

Screenshot of text that says: "Important Notice (3/24/2026): NOAA NWS/NCEP has terminated the NCEP/NCAR R1 reanalysis as of March 18th, 2026. NCEP/NCAR R1 has been used as the atmospheric forcing data in the PIOMAS reanalysis . We had not been aware of this change in service which was apparently formally announced Feb 13. 2026. This means that we will have to find alternatives and generate a replacement. It will take considerable effort and time to update data streams, re-calibrate the model and generate updated time series. We don’t yet have a good sense if that’s possible with available funds and if so, when we will be able to resume production of a new PIOMAS time series. While a replacement of the NCAR/NCEP R1 as the forcing product makes ultimate sense, we would have wished for a longer time period to facilitate the transition. We are sorry what this means to our many users. PIOMAS has been in production since March 2010 and we rarely missed updates by more than a couple of weeks (except for government shutdowns). This will be longer. Check back here for updates! "

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter.

Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Mayor Johnson unveils 'Abolish ICE' snowplow

Mayor Brandon Johnson and city officials unveiled Wednesday the “Abolish ICE” snowplow, the winner of this year’s snowplow naming contest, which drew a record number of submissions.

i’ve always said the generally hellish experience of going through TSA would be improved by bringing in other federal agents with no understanding of airports who love to shoot people

Shout out to all the guys with charts who told me there was no way we were undercounting while I watched nursing homes and hospitals refuse to test and send my friends’ elderly relatives home to die of “respiratory illness” to keep their official numbers down.
