House Republicans keep trying to change the name of their budget bill — but it won’t change the fact that their legislation enacted the largest cut to food assistance for working Americans in history.

The president is unwell. He needs containment as per @bandylee.bsky.social et al
OPINION: "Artemis II photographs resonate, not only because they are historic, but because they reflect the deliberate choices and intent of a human being in that specific moment and context," Christye Sisson writes.
Very strange statue of Artemis. She seems to be wearing a dress of breasts or fruit
Artemis (2nd century CE). Odd that NASA didn’t use this on their mission patch. There’s still time I guess
Definitely check out @taskandpurpose.com 's interview with the photographer of this great shot and what the experience was like.

power point slide showing the camera locations on the orion spacecraft. For Artemis II, the vehicle-mounted OIS comprises: • 4 Solar Array Wing (SAW) cameras • 3 in-cabin wireless cameras • 3 external wired cameras • 2 human-health monitoring cameras • 2 camera controllers • 1 Fwd Bay high speed camera Other optical systems: • 4 wireless cameras for NatGeo payload (proprietary data) • 4 Portable computing devices (tablets) with webcams • 2 Nikon D5 DSLR camera bodies (+ lenses, batteries, etc.) • 2 ZCube video encoders (prime + spare) • 1 Docking Camera (DCAM) • 1 Optical Navigation (OPNAV) camera • 1 drag-on temp-mount camera to monitor crew ingress (KSC system)
Of course I only found this post-flight, but there is a good presentation of all the camera systems installed on the Artemis II Orion spacecraft. #Artemis

The #Artemis II mission has gifted us a new perspective on our home, and the images are nothing short of breathtaking.
Captured as the crew swung around the far side of the moon, these photos represent more than just a technical milestone. They are a profound reminder of our place in the cosmos

I love you for this. 🍁 ❤️
"In public Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution.The papers reveal a different side of him.At a critical moment for the country and the court the papers show he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis"
Robert's “Shadow Docket" begs the question. How long can a democratic Republic with a Constitution, rule of Law and Bill of Right survive if it's highest court, SCOTUS, is politically compromised and blatantly corrupt? This all stems from The Heritage Foundation/Federalist Society/Citizens United.
Mary Moriarty has one thing to say to ICE agents: FAFO. 👏
Big win for Colorado! We are putting the 9News-Fox31 merger on hold.
A federal judge agreed we’re likely to prevail in our antitrust case, blocking this deal that would’ve put more power in fewer hands and threatened local news.
I’ll always fight for Colorado.

A federal judge has halted construction on Trump's White House ballroom.
Good.
At a $400M price tag funded by corporate donors, it's one of the most corrupt things a president has ever done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E

We need to regulate influencers. The amount of undue hacking of 🇺🇸 wetware is staggering. How much of what is going on is because of this? I’ve lost family over the polarization.

It’s okay friend, don’t be disheartened! We are the ones who protect the election, and there are orgs out there that help. Here, watch this video to have some insight and hope, folks are working at it!! www.youtube.com/live/uSRFM_r...
People asked how we got here, check out the drawing...
Make sure you’re calling in sick May 1st! Our ancestors fought for the weekend and lost their lives to do so. People are losing their lives in an unconstitutional war NOW. The least you can do is take a sick day and not buy from the oligarchs. Start small, grow tall - this is our nation🌲🌳🌍
Thank you for protecting nature!!! As a Druid, the land is my sanctuary - it is sacred.

Since they’re abusing the Congressional Review Act to get around the filibuster, I am reserving some of my time so I can make closing remarks in the morning before the final vote. Maybe they’ll listen to reason after a night’s sleep.
Stay tuned.
Save the Boundary Waters.
The #25thAmendment push is not purely “theatre” - it takes time to set up a panel of experts to rely on for containment of a dangerous executive. This is what @raskin.house.gov is doing. Check out @bandylee.bsky.social and experts like her to understand why it’s more than just a pie in the sky hope.
@hickenlooper.senate.gov and @bennet.senate.gov I’m sure you’re onboard with not voting for this, but I oppose joint HR 140 - look at how acid mine drainage impacts our state! As a geographer, not only is this bad for the environment and workforce, it is also a horrid method to pass bills.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
"Watching the Artemis launch, I felt hope for US science for the first time in a while. The president’s budget request brought me back down to Earth."

I could watch this on repeat all day long.

It's the classic Mel Gibson and Jesus meme where Mel is on set in normal clothes casually chatting to a very bloody Jesus (for those of you who don't know it).

Photo of a canoe in the Boundary Waters. The waters are so still that the sky is reflected on the surface.
The threat to the Boundary Waters isn’t just about Minnesota — the legislative gymnastics being thrust upon us to allow copper-nickel mining in this watershed would mean no public lands are ever truly protected.
We would be opening Pandora’s box… for what? The profits of a foreign mining company?
