Democrats have legislation that will make Social Security solvent for as far as the actuarial eye can see without cutting benefits. Where's the Republican proposal? It doesn't exist. - @whitehouse.senate.gov

This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.

My mom and grandma told me about this. It happened in Los Angeles. The last streetcar ran in 1963.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
#Kansas voters coming up big to shut down a Republican power grab of the state Supreme Court. Glad to be one small part in helping Democratic voters know more about this by knocking 700+ doors in my neighborhoods. Even sweeter this was introduced by my state Senator Mike Thomspson (R-Shawnee).
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
Too damn much fire and smoke throughout the PNW region. Now Level 3 GO NOW evacuation Mt Hood Meadows.
The Spokane fire conspiracy theories are almost identical to the Altadena fire conspiracy theories. These people have no understand of how fire works, how science works, or why some things burn. I'm writing a book chapter about it, but the people who need to read it don't read books.
LorennaCleary.bsky.social@lorennacleary.bsky.social · yesterdayThe internet is filled with really dumb people who right now think the fires in Spokane WA were fake because the houses burned but trees didn’t. What they’re forgetting is that dead, thin, dry wood burns. Wet, dense, living wood is harder to burn. Old living pine and house vs fire: house loses.
The founders are calling. They suggest you read the damn Constitution.

Klobuchar: "More than six months after Renee and Alex's deaths when I asked Acting AG Blanche if the department would finally fully cooperate with state law enforcement in these investigations, he said 'it depends on what full cooperation means'...Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability"
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.
Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
