Do they understand the moon's gravity acts like an anchor, keeping Earth's tilt steady at about 23.5 degrees. A shifting tilt would cause extreme weather and harsh seasons. Aren't we suffering enough all ready climate change?

On a new path in the mountains; immersed in art, friends, garden, nature, laughter; owned by a border collie, now battling snowy winters, gophers, moles, voles, and Republican'ts at 74. With freedom comes great responsibility. Terrified for America.
My question exactly.
How is this not a bigger story?!?! Capital One Financial hit back against a lawsuit over its decision to close the Trump Organization's bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money laundering experts. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3RN2QMQ #TrumpCrimeFamily
Nothing new to see here...
It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
But will the listen...seems this administration likes to ignore lower court rulings. Actually event the not-so-Supreme Court when they (rarely) go against tRump.
Some good news. For a change! #politics
Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.
Elections ain’t rigged. The economy is… …and us regular Americans are about to unrig it!

"Elon Musk lost, in one trading day, more than Bill Gates' entire net worth.” @cwarzel.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social how Elon Musk turned his unprecedented wealth into unchecked political power.
A lot of the MAGA crowd wants the US to essentially become like the UAE, where there’s an enormous foreign workforce who have substantially fewer rights than citizens and are subject to awful working conditions. It’s a fever dream, but it’s their fever dream.
Don't miss this vile story: MAGA is raging at DHS chief Markwayne Mullin for admitting migrant farmworkers can beneft our economy. This means his devotion to ethnic cleansing is in doubt. He must be excommunicated! I wrote about the collapse of MAGA mythology here: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

Ex-Olympian weighs ‘all remedies’ after DOJ drops Reflecting Pool case, lawyer says

Strong spines and Republican'ts are an oxymoron. Sure wish they could change though.
A rebel Republican senator's dramatic standoff over Trump's attorney general pick ended with a whimper.
And these are the people this administration keeps targeting for exportation. Fecking idiots.
At your next meal, take a second to think about the people working long hours in HOT 100° temps to put food on your table. They're not just statistics. They're real people who can't avoid the heat in an air conditioned house or office. #WeFeedYou
I'm not sure how their focus leads to their goals: Thriving Working-Class Communities/Working-Class Foreign Policy/Working-Class Democracy. But I'm clear it isn't communism, because in the 20th century communist governments controlled the entire economy and daily life. Like tRump is trying to do.

So harmless that over 1.2 million Americans died from it, up to 18 million Americans currently have or have previously experienced long COVID and word wide there were over 7.1 million confirmed COVID-19 deaths--harmless? Fecking idiots.
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
"I will never understand why these huge corporations refuse to acknowledge objective reality: paying Trump doesn’t buy you anything. All it does is teach him that you’re willing to pay, and next time, he’ll get you to pay more."

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov ... and all those people who voted for the current administration.
The Trump regime made the largest healthcare cuts in history, slashing more than $1 trillion from Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA. At the same time they gave away $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest one percent.
On this date in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed amendments to the Social Securities Act (1935) that established Medicare and Medicaid.
