Geophysicists say there is an increased risks of destructive floods and wild fires due to climate change. A guy who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says there's nothing to worry about. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Red Panda steals the show on ESPN.
Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.
OK,, here's the thing, without them caving, the Republicans were no closer to a deal either and were LOSING in terms of public opinion. If the Ds could cave tonight, the Rs could have caved tomorrow, or next week. GTFOH!
STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who wants a pardon, says she never saw Donald Trump ‘in any inappropriate setting’ Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, makes unfailingly flattering references to Trump, according to transcripts of the conversation released by the Justice Department on Friday.
Props to Politico for getting this right
Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.
Trump's pettiness and small-minded vengefulness takes the place of actual policy making. It taints the air in the executive branch like a forgotten bag of trash in a warm house on a summer day—even when you can’t see it, you know it’s there.

Failing to understand the long-term consequences of critical developments during the past half century have brought us to where we are. A failure to imagine the worst case outcomes we are currently facing will make them far more likely. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is
"A time may soon come when words, however reasoned, will not suffice. When no ruling from the Court can constrain the executive or preserve the peace. The mind drifts to Bleeding Kansas. To Harpers Ferry. What a mess we are in."
VERY IMPORTANT to label this as what it is, The Police State Executive Order. it's not an exaggeration. This is the inner wiring of a police state.
I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.
Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.

The republic is collapsing. American integrity and honor are utterly debased. But it's only a bit more than a week until Opening Day. All is still possible.
Fuck the Yankees and all they represent in this failed century of wanton capitalism and imperial arrogance. Go O's.
New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us.

This is brilliant and (should have been) obvious!
If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way.
Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s.
Have you learned NOTHING?
Not. One. Vote.
If the Dems are capable of opposition a LARGE national ad buy about Republicans stripping Medicaid expansion from the working class would be a good start.
