It sure is a shame that no one in these states has bothered to read the D.C. Circuit Local Rules.

You might ask yourself, what possible legitimate stake might a bunch of red states have in a criminal prosecution of a former Presidential advisor for contempt of Congress.

As someone living in Kyiv, I’m begging you: Please help us stop this. Almost every night, russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles, hitting civilians, homes, and warehouses. We can’t stop these missiles because we don’t have enough Patriot systems. People are dying.

I hate it here

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

Major update: CBS tried to silence a key Epstein interview. I did the interview instead. Meanwhile, the New Mexico DOJ is taking Trump to court over Epstein and the Truth Commission released its preliminary report. Trump is racing to stop the BBC from getting discovery. And more.

JUST IN: Convicted Felon Donald Trump is scrambling on an emergency basis to try to convince a federal judge to block production to the BBC of financial documents for more than 400 of his business entities

I shit a lot on the Phantom Menace, but it did accurately predict how most journalists would react to fascism

I could no longer resist the siren call of trying some cheap-ass alcohol markers from Ross. This is just testing out on crappy printer paper with a smeary ballpoint pen. They seem not bad actually 😆

If you want Social Security to be there when you retire after paying into it your entire life, stop voting for Republicans who only want to kill it.. Simple as that. Any Questions?! 😎✨

Please for the love of God, stop telling me about Pinochet’s death flights and suggesting ICE is doing them. 1) The doors on the charter jets ICE uses cannot be opened midflight. It is physically impossible. 2) Even if depressurized, the door would fly off and/or bodies get sucked into engines

The Swiftie thirst traps have to win Michigan over, right? He’s an excellent campaigner and also a good dude. He’s like. Senate-Mamdani.

He’s for codifying abortion, healthcare for all, and the abolishment of the Gestapo— I hope women in MI line up behind him.

Especially as it's coming to light via leaked audio that the DOJ will ensure the Dobbs decision is policy in every state. If people didn't think their vote mattered before (it always has), then now it absolutely does.

this is horrible and I'd urge people to criticize Moreno for literally any other reason than for the way he is trying to deal with his daughter's abuser. 1

I work at the intersection of the climate and biodiversity crises, so I especially value actions that support adaptation and mitigation AND conservation, e.g.,: Expanding urban tree canopy, green roofs, rain gardens, etc. to mitigate heat and flooding, sequester carbon, and provide habitat.

Climate pals, what are your favorite examples of actions that simultaneously reduce climate pollution and help us adapt to climate changes that we can no longer avoid? Joint Adaptation and Mitigation (JAM), if you will.
