A senior Iranian official says vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz will still be required to pay tolls to the IRGC

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

Chinook salmon found naturally hatching in Upper Klamath River for first time in a century The Klamath Tribes are celebrating evidence of Chinook salmon spawning in Klamath River tributary.

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

Neguse: "Despite all of that, Speaker Johnson made the decision to gavel the House & send everyone home. Now we're back 2 weeks later & what has the majority decided is the most pressing issue to debate? Apparently it's a resolution commemorating a bill that the GOP passed last year. It's absurd."

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

CNN put together a montage of Chris Wright saying last month that "there's a very good chance" gas prices will be back below $3 a gallon by the summer, followed by a clip of him saying yesterday that "by the summer is an aggressive timeframe now"

We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!

Pretty low bar brother… 😬😂

In a First for the U.S., Renewables Generate More Power Than Natural Gas In March, for the first time, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the transition to clean power. However, rising power demand is complicating the shift away from fossil fuels by extending the lives of many aging coal power plants.

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

The family was driving home from a baby shower when they were stopped at a border patrol checkpoint. She and Ayla, who has autism, were fingerprinted and detained..."

He is correct.

It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate.
Causing debate and division.

"Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.

I would shed all but the tools and a tube. If going into dark then keep the headlight. Loose all the extras including any stress! It’s a blast and gets addicting!! Good luck and have fun!

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Sooo many countries have been f’d by this regimes complete idiocy and ignorance. Our nation has lost all credibility on the global stage. F me.

Time for Trump to go...

This is Colorado's worst drought in over 5 years: 95% of Colorado is in some form of drought, and 21.6% of Colorado is in the highest category of drought.

Both of those figures are the highest % levels since March 2021.

Need a big spring/summer.

Corn is one of the top crops grown in Virginia, earning farmers nearly $300 million annually. 

Some farmers are choosing not to plant corn as rising fertilizer costs make it difficult to turn a profit. 

Virginia’s farmers don’t deserve the rising costs that come with this administration.

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

No surprises there… what a $hit show all these jackasses have created.

It’s all soo terrible. Just beyond anything imaginable…

Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu stating that U.S. military law prohibits war crimes, including strikes on civilian infrastructure that cause disproportionate harm. The tweet warns that service members must disobey illegal orders and could face prosecution by a future administration if they commit war crimes.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

BREAKING: Thousands of Iranians are gathering on bridges and around power plants right now, forming human chains after threats of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's civilian infrastructure.

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

The President of the United States commemorates Easter by threatening war crimes and dropping an F-bomb

We need a new president, immediately, insomuch as this one has lost all control over his faculties
