We should really work together, hand and hand, to focus all of our community’s poorly-suppressed and totally ruthless bullying energy on the single demographic we all agree actually deserves it: Harry Potter Adults in the year of our lord 2026

A Texas school principal accused of touching cheerleaders' chests found protection from President Donald Trump, a new report revealed Sunday. Instead of resolving the investigations, Trump indefinitely froze them," eight anonymous sources told the Washington Post. www.rawstory.com/trump-educat...

Utah’s solar generation eclipsed all other electricity sources for the first time ever in May, the culmination of a slow but steady years-long shift away from coal. Energy experts are calling it a win for the environment and the state’s economy.

In a first, Utah got more power from solar than any other source

The state used to run on coal, relying on it for as much as 78 percent of its power a decade ago. But now renewables are surging.

Everyone should watch this. @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social lays out the financial incentives behind conspiracy theorizing the conspiracists.

Candace Owens is mobilizing her online mob against @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social of @msnowreports.bsky.social because she is reporting on Owen’s disinformation campaigns against TPUSA. The “Candace Intelligence Agency” CIA on X are flooding her with slopaganda. Share her story.

theres nothing we can do. we can nuke them, or we can invade. that's it. neither is doable. we cant safely lob munitions at them anymore because were running out of that. i think pretty soon if we even want to bomb them we're going to have to fly planes over them and we don't have the guts for that

By UNANIMOUS consent, the Senate adjourned for recess until Monday, September 14 without passing the SAVE America Act. Nobody objected to the request, or asked for a roll call vote.

This person described in four paragraphs the existential crisis facing Georgia Republicans (and those in Colorado and Wisconsin and Virginia, and perhaps Texas and Kansas and Nebraska in a decade) better than any mainstream pundit I've seen in my seven years living in the Peach State

I have written before about the Remnant. The 500,000 Texans who voted for John Cornyn in the runoff, the roughly 400,000 more who voted for him in March and did not come back, the conservatives who looked at the choice and decided character was still a serious criterion.

I want to add something to that description, because I do not think the party understands who these people are.

They are not moderates. Most of them are not squishes and most of them are not secretly Democrats. They are the highest-information voters in the state. They read the impeachment articles. They know what the whistleblowers said and who hired them. They know the difference between the basic allotment and the total appropriation. They know what their insurance renewal said this year. They have opinions about ERCOT.

They are also, and this is the part the consultants miss, the people who make other voters vote. They are the block walkers and the precinct chairs and the people whose group text decides what forty other people think about a race. You do not persuade them with volume. You persuade them with substance, or you do not persuade them at all.

Would really recommend people read this whole post. It’s an honest analysis of the state of things from a deeply conservative person who has little to lose.

Highly usable post from last year

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.

Three years ago, EPA proposed cybersecurity rules for municipal water systems. Republicans sued to prevent the rules from going into effect, and that was the end of that. Now seven states' water systems are under attack by Iran.

Federal and state officials are racing to address an assault on the nation’s water supply that they believe is the work of Iranian hackers.

Again, it's not clear how Henry got into the North. Even his pardoned terrorist conviction should exclude him, but he's got weapons/flag burning conviction, fraud conviction, & a misdemeanor charge post-pardon. And I think it likely Romey DID avail himself of the open border--he left via DUB.
