Film poster for Bay to Baltimore depicting a woman standing at the water’s edge with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the background.
Excited to tune in to MPT tonight at 8:30 to watch the film about Katie Pumphrey’s Bay Bridge to Baltimore swim in 2024.

It’s really creepy inside the Reptile House. For all you can tell, they just let all the snakes and lizards out on a Friday decades ago and locked the doors. Most of the structure for exhibits is still intact.
Beautiful building on the exterior, overdue for maintenance.
Bring back the giant druid hill pond behind the reptile house and reisterstown rd traffic circle (also bring back the reptile house)
In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.
Over the last three days, the Trump administration has summarily executed seven more people.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist
Sheesh.
And that’s on top of all the MSNBC hits!
He always struck me as a douche; sad to learn he is also a sexpest and rapist, with powerful friends who knew.

NEW US electricity data ⚡️🇺🇸
In March, renewables produced more than a third of US electricity for the first time ever, even overtaking gas generation!
Wind and solar combined reached over a quarter (26%) for the first time.
shrouded figure on CBS
CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...
Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”
Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?
The O.G. Iran-amok.
It will almost certainly result in the introduction of MUCH higher consumption taxes, which are regressive, thus screwing over the people it is supposed to help, and will worsen government services, screwing those same people again.
This is an absolute shit idea.
Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick?
New video shows they were lying about that one, too.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?
The President of the United States sent out a statement this morning wishing a Happy Easter to all who celebrate.
Seems like this is probably bad comms and a bad attempt at accomodation, not an attempt to be exclusionary.
Without more information, I’ll reserve my ire for the war crimes and the thousands of other atrocious acts Hegseth is committing.
Not a Catholic myself, but I think Catholics do not do mass on Good Friday, as Bendery implies in this thread. My understanding is that any service held on Good Friday has no communion unless the host was consecrated on Maundy Thursday.
They’re not sending their best.
The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."
FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."
hmm
Or worse, the court will shirk the extra work, rewarding the executive branch’s obstinate litigation strategy.
Can’t resist counting the lapse between lightning and thunder—and, as a Michigander, can’t help but hum a Seger tune:
“woke last night to the sound of thunder/How far off I sat and wondered/Started humming a song from nineteen sixty-two/Ain't it funny how the night moves”
I’m with you (and Amar). I‘d just locate the nadir differently—a temporal quibble—because SCOTUS engineered this in a way that serves Trump. All he needs to avert conviction on this ground for impeachment is Alito’s (or Thomas’s) vote.
It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations.
A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes.
We are completely lost.
I hear ya.
But I think today’s argument was not deferring to POTUS so much as it was baked in last June, when SCOTUS rewarded the government’s obstinate litigation strategy.

January 6, 2021 excepted—though tonight’s pudding-brained address bears some resemblance.
Need someone who’s tech-savvy to capture that “sounds like the brain’s not doin’ too hot” bit.
