Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.
The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday
I hope you chewed on the evidence of tonight’s #Dateline as well as you chewed on your toy, Spike.
Yes, virtually all modern Jews are the spiritual descendants of the Pharisees. Using “Pharisee” as a slur is like using “gay” or “Gypsy” as a slur. Don’t do it.

“The next president must say on day one: We’re tearing down this arch; we’re razing Trump’s ballroom…Washington ceremonial architecture must be returned to the purpose for which it exists—to promote democracy, not the demented, bruised ego of one sick man.”

Guess they never heard of the Battleship Potemkin, either the event or the movie made about it.
Tl;dr: In 1905, Russian officials served sailors maggot-infested meat. They mutinied.

There's a lot of questions about what Oversight Democrats are doing to hold Pam Bondi accountable for ignoring her lawful, bipartisan subpoena on the Epstein files. Let's talk about it.

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.

A chilling detail from this article: In 1940, France had one of the largest militaries on earth, 5 million strong. Yet Germany conquered them in six weeks because the leadership was incompetent.
Eliminating libraries in prisons is a disaster, completely shortsighted. Libraries are a lifeline for incarcerated people who want to learn and grow, and have few other options.
This is not International Holocaust Remembrance Day. That’s in January.

Johnson describes himself as a Christian first and foremost. An evangelical and a Southern Baptist, he has said: "My faith informs everything I do."
Mike Johnson is not a Catholic.

This is a wild biography.
Immigration judges are not the same as judges in the Judicial Branch (“Article III judges”). They are in the Executive Branch, under DOJ.

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism

The NBC journalists (no quotes) wrote about all the problems listed in this headline.
I recently tried to buy a product from a company that clearly uses a lot of AI. The experience included them not sending my order, randomly sending extra orders, and then falsely trying to lock me into a subscription I didn't request. It was a disaster.
The administration has proposed cutting NASA’s budget. Congress would have to go along with it for it to happen.
Today, I signed the supplemental budget into law — which makes my free community college program permanent.
We’ve made great strides towards making a quality education accessible and affordable here in Maine, and I’ll fight to do the same in the Senate.
In our name, President Trump is threatening to wipe out 93 million people. He is unwell and must resign or be removed from office immediately. If Republicans won’t grow a spine and stand up to this madman, the coming Democratic majority in Congress will do it.
We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history
@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social Adam Gopnik reviews two books on baseball. One of them says the Mets are the “people’s team.” The other has a different philosophy.

Hey, @petersagal.bsky.social , who in the Vatican would be likely to leak to NBC Chicago?
To everyone who demanded that Dems fly back to DC to push for impeachment, 25th and/or a war powers vote:
They did. Republicans blocked it.
If you're not praising them today just as loudly as you were ripping on them a couple of days ago, guess what?
