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.

On the other side of the coin, if the real purpose of DOGE was to cripple the federal government because of the right wing cult tenet that private businesses always do a better job, they’ve done a pretty good job of blowing up that argument with this.

The other day we got 3 inches of heavy, wet snow and even *while it was actively snowing* my app said there was no precipitation. To be sure, they’ve done vastly more evil and destructive things, but politicizing the fucking weather forecast was among the dumber ones.

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”.

I would happily donate to this program if they were willing to open it up to more people! I’ve installed pretty much as many solar panels as I can at my home, but I’d love to contribute to the effort of building out more.

Even without federal tax credits, renewables + storage are the cheapest way to add new capacity. At least Natural Gas Ned is trying out new ways to be wrong about energy.

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.

Do you agree with his take on changing the provisions about affordable housing requirements? I know that affordable housing regulations can often backfire and lead to less housing being built, but I don’t know enough about the details to know if his recommendation is the right one.

“Mr. Walz has called the shootings ‘an act of targeted political violence,’ though the exact motive for the attack is not yet clear.” Maybe they should have also said that it’s not clear yet whether Walz is whacked out?

I wish I was smart enough to know the solution to that problem, and I can’t think of any changes that wouldn’t be twisted in bad faith by right-wing reactionaries, but could we start by not letting big media and social media profit off the spread of mis- and disinformation?

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.

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.
