You don't need a plumber to know which way the shit flows.

After July 2026 tied July 2024 as the hottest month on record globally, this August is racing ahead. Earth’s energy imbalance (due to cloud-aerosol feedbacks) is unmasking warning from fossil fuels, and a surging El Niño is pushing temperatures even higher. Read @drjamesehansen.bsky.social below:

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

“I just got off the phone with Congresswoman Craig, and she assured me she is in this fight with us,” Flanagan said in her victory speech a bit ago. “We are both proud Democrats … and we love this state. And we both know that we can’t just hand Donald Trump another Senate seat.”

Flanagan and Craig are already presenting a united front, urging their supporters to come together and help Flanagan beat Michele Tafoya in Nov. Craig: "I just called the lieutenant governor to congratulate her on her hard fought victory and to offer her my full and complete support going forward."
