As someone with asthma living in one of these affected areas, I am begging you to wear a mask if you'll be outdoors for any length of time.
Protect Yourself from Wildfire Smoke, a guide from the CDC. Staying inside away from smoke is best. If you just go outside, wear a snug respirator or mask to help filter smoke.

A chart below lists five different types of masks for use, with N95 or P100 respirators and K95 respirators rated as the most effective, surgical masks listed as moderately effective, and cloth masks and scarves listed as not very effective.

Respirators should not be used for children under 2.

If this Graham Platner tidbit is true, all I can say is... WHO THE F*CK DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS?!?! What an egomaniac to think that he should have ANY say in who replaces him after being credibly accused of sexual assault. Get lost, Graham.
Graham Platner has not made a decision on whether to drop out, according to a person familiar with the campaign’s internal discussions, who added there was no guarantee he would drop out even as Democrats abandoned his campaign on Monday. “If he was to step down it would only be with a guarantee of being replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and vision and policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for,” said the person, who was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the discussions publicly.

Understand this: Graham Platner will NOT be a United States Senator next year. That position will either be held by another Maine Democrat…or Republican Susan Collins. The former is only an option if he drops out by Monday, July 13th at 5PM. It’s over, Graham. Drop out. Now.

NYC Parks, Queensway, & TfPL don't want a train here. The plan from day 1 was to use the entire ROW for park space and intentionally design the Queensway in a way that would require demolishing the entire park to add trains later. Anyone claiming this won't preclude transit is lying or an idiot.

This is not how airports work. There are a finite number of slots and gates. You cannot take every international flight from seven of the biggest airports in the country and redistribute them to red states. That's not how any of this works.

New Republican gerrymanders have shifted Trump’s margin in the median House seat from 3.1 points to 5.2. By 2028, the GOP could make it 8.5 and the House unwinnable for Dems except in huge wave elections. But if Dems respond in all these states, they could undo practically the entire GOP advantage
Table titled "Median Congressional District: D-Minus-R Presidential Margin" from The Downballot. Compares the median congressional district's Democratic-minus-Republican presidential margin across five redistricting scenarios, showing both 2024 and 2020 presidential results.

National popular vote (no specific district): 2024 margin −1.5 (R-favoring); 2020 margin +4.5 (D-favoring).

2024 actual map: Median district AZ-01, 2024 margin −3.1; median district VA-02, 2020 margin +1.9.

2026 actual map: Median district PA-10, 2024 margin −5.2; median district FL-27, 2020 margin −0.2.

2028 potential map, new GOP maps only: Median district PA-08, 2024 margin −8.5; median district FL-14, 2020 margin −2.8.

2028 potential map, new maps from both parties: Median district NM-02, 2024 margin −1.8; median district KS-03, 2020 margin +4.5.

Cells are color-coded: red shading for negative (R-favoring) margins, blue shading for positive (D-favoring) margins, with deeper shading indicating larger margins. The GOP-only 2028 map produces the most Republican-skewed median district under 2024 results (−8.5), while the scenario where Democrats respond in 2028 produces results closest to the national popular vote.

Actually ideal for Democrats. Because other option was going to be Kemp calling a special session *after* the midterms. You’d rather them chase after districts based on 2024 margins, rather than gaining an extra data point in 2026. Also, this will galvanize turnout in the ‘Black Belt’ for 2026.
