holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
Young people may find it difficult to believe but, in my living memory, there was a broad consensus in US politics that air pollution -- not GHGs, just old fashioned particulates, NOx, etc. -- is bad & worth fighting. Now that concern is going overboard in the pursuit of AI.
Trump’s Push for More A.I. Data Centers Will Mean Major Air Pollution

"Every time we burn fossil fuels, it adds more chemicals to the atmosphere that trap more heat, creating a positive feedback loop that makes everything hotter and drier." Fossil fuels are driving up our costs and destroying our planet. We need more clean energy and we need it now.

El-Sayed: "They spent an unprecedented amount of money to beat us -- attack ad after attack ad after attack ad after attack ad, wall to wall ads. But it turns out that the commercials are the part of the television show most people don't want to watch."
El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
God, look at these three loafs of discount white bread.

this wsj article is much better than the Times "showdown" article. but i resent the media gaslighting of this whole storyline, as though there was ever even the slightest question about why the pool bottom fell apart or that somehow Burgum had kept anyone in the dark. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
Pirro’s About-Face in Pool Case Followed Prosecutors’ Private Concerns
The U.S. attorney defended the dismissal of charges in a meeting with President Trump, but people close to the president say it is too early to say whether Pirro’s job is safe.

“Barack HUSSEIN Obama” is still a thing Trump still harps on
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · yesterdayRepublicans didn’t take long to get the open bigotry going
Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

FOX: What's your big message on the economy? TRUMP: Tariffs have been incredible
Trump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)
So senators, Cornyn and Tillis were basically just running interference and creating a smoke show for Susan Collins?
Pathetic that Tillis is as MAGA as they come and cannot see straight and Trump still turned on him as though he were AOC.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTillis: "Everybody has this view that they are as pure as the driven snow and it's the other side that has a problem. I think we both have a problem, folks. If you want to talk about weaponization, take a look at Biden, take a look at Obama, take a look at Crossfire Hurricane ... "
"We have to say to folks, 'Here's where your money's being stolen, here's who's doing it, here's who's suffering from violations of the rule of law.' Show real people who are being harmed. Things that make Americans mad." Yes. Elevate the victims. #ElevateTheVictims

These are the thugs, criminals, and traitors who Trump pardoned, who he thinks were treated "unfairly" by prosecuting them for their crimes, and who he wants to give BILLIONS of dollars to.
Trump is starting to give out tariff refunds: Amazon - $600M Apple - $2.2B Ford - $1.3B GM - $500M Nike - $1B Where are the refunds for the American families forced to pay more? You deserve your money back. www.newsweek.com/tariff-refun...
Tariff refunds split companies as consumers demand share of $166B
Some firms say they will share a portion of the rebate from the Supreme Court striking down Trump's tariffs earlier this year.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
