Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."
Big news: in 2025, solar power covered 75% of new electricity demand! 🌞 China and India are leading the charge, pushing fossil fuels down for the first time in www.climatechangenews.com/2026/04/21/solar-surge-k...
No matter what happens with this war, people and governments are looking longingly at solar panels and wind turbines.
Wind farms and solar looking at the world right now and saying “we told you so”.
The Epstein files contain evidence about the sexual abuse of women, and especially minors. That was terrible. But there's something even worse in those files: evidence of billions of dollars of corruption. Many wealthy people who were not involved in sex abuse were involved in financial crimes.
Every time an 🇺🇸 negotiator or government official insults 🇨🇦 or whines about how unfair or unreasonable we are, most 🇨🇦s strengthen their resolve to boycott all things 🇺🇸. These comments aren't helpful. They should've learned that Canadians are a proud and strong country. We'll not be bullied!
Will someone PLEASE just release the Epstein files already so we can deal with it and move on to impeachment, conviction and removal????
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Bingo
So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.
#tdih 2004, NFL star and soldier Pat Tillman was killed in Afghanistan.

We need term limits not just for the Supreme Court, but for Congress. No one should serve for a lifetime or even decades. If we actually want a government that represents the will of the people and responds to today’s challenges, we need new leadership, and that means term limits.
They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.
Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.
You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

A last minute bill to massively expand a private school voucher program in select counties narrowly failed in the Tennessee Senate on Wednesday, leading the House sponsor to say he was "surprised" and "disappointed."
At least once a week I think about how America would improve if Elon Musk's companies were nationalized.
More than that, the FBI paid tons of informants who infiltrated the Klan.
For one famous example, Gary Thomas Rowe was a paid FBI informant who was present at the murder of Viola Liuzzo.
But there were so many more. By one estimate, in 1965 a full 15% of the Mississippi KKK were paid informants.

I saw a disclaimer in an ebook the other day that said, 'This book is 100% human generated. I'd rather write a story that might have lumpy bits than generate a soulless, passionless, piece of crap." I'm thinking of adding something like that to my next book if I ever get around to writing it.
The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.
Watercolour still life: fruit and flowers. A small wooden bird and a starfish on the windowsill.
Another watercolour and fruit still life more recent than the ones from the '80s. This was one of a series done during the Covid lockdown period when I was painting continuously either in the garden or sitting at a table in a sunny window. A good year for homegrown plum tomatoes.
Yeah. I ended up paying a dollar more a can for Sprague.
Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote.
We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas.
Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.
