Lamont is of course going to call his win over Elliot as an endorsement of his tepid oatmeal brand of moderate bullshit, but governors who have the voters’ confidence don’t have to worry about credible primary challenges. I’d love to believe that we live in a world where he’d recognize that.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

DHS was created to distract from Bush's utter incompetence in allowing 9/11 to happen. That's the long & short of it. It's a GOP clusterfuck intended to compensate for another GOP clusterfuck. It's time to start over from a place of competence & compassion.

I can’t prove that there’s an actual connection between the DOGE chuds gutting NWS and NOAA and all weather apps becoming absolute dogshit, but I’m sticking with that theory until proven otherwise.
NWS winter storm warning predicting between 13-19” of snow Sunday.Apple weather app forecasting 1.15” of snow Sunday, contradicting the NWS storm warning estimate of 13-19”.

Great idea: let’s reduce electricity prices by focusing on nuclear, the most expensive and longest to implement option.

If you build more housing, you increase the tax base, solving the top two problems at once. Surely you have the time to get this done now that you’re done endorsing sex pests for NYC mayor, Gov. Lamont. www.courant.com/2025/11/07/h...

In all seriousness, progressives should wholeheartedly embrace “vibe warfare.” We can win with that shit. Our vibe: you should be able to afford rent and groceries. Their vibe: we’re gonna kidnap your immigrant neighbors and friends, and we’re gonna inspect the genitals of children.

In the wake of the 2016 Electoral College shitshow (and with the scar of 2000 still festering in my mind), I naively thought that all we needed was a massive electoral overhaul. And we do need that! But none of it would make a difference in this disinformation-heavy media environment.

More bad faith bullshit from small-town Connecticut. One of the residents complained that they moved to East Windsor for the views, which amuses me because the thing I most associate EW with is the biggest, ugliest parking lot I’ve ever seen. www.courant.com/2025/05/15/p...

It’s not news that Hartford Courant continues to publish this utility propaganda as if it has any substance (spoiler: it’s a But Her Emails story), but today’s is different because @volts.wtf makes a cameo!

CT utility wants PURA chief disqualified. New email surfaces they say shows ‘bias.’
The regulatory filings show no sign of deescalating what has become more than a year of contention and mistrust between PURA and major Connecticut utilities.

"If we throw minorities under the bus, Republicans will stop calling us too woke" is the same logic that got us Clinton's welfare cuts and Obama's immigration crackdowns. You can't policy your way out of a right-wing propaganda problem.

A goodly portion of history's religions, philosophies, & grand theories of all sorts have been part of a common genre: stories to justify why the particular group of men in charge deserve their power. The divine right of kings. History's dialectic. And now, these days ... "meritocracy."

The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:
