When we stop talking about climate change like it’s a political issue and start talking about it as a shared challenge that we all need to work together to solve, that’s when we’ll finally be able to start talking about saving ourselves. That is our conclusion here!

MSNOW, CNN, and Politico have announced they will file a lawsuit today against Trump for banning them from the White House in violation of their First Amendment and due process rights. If the prediction markets offer this one, take the plaintiffs for the win.

The SCOTUS ruling today prevents the USPS from not delivering ballots based on directives from the Trump admin. BUT, the late postmarks issue remains. To make sure your ballot gets counted, return it early and, even better if you can, drop it off in an official ballot dropbox to ensure it’s on time.

I think most of the world really is frightened of America, but it’s in the same way that you’d be frightened of a baboon that found a loaded machine gun
For decades conservatives insisted they didn't care if the rest of the world liked us as long as they "respected" us (code for being intimidated by us) and now the entire world is united in laughing at us and we're neither liked nor respected nor feared and they're all like: yes, finally, perfect.

The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don't expect to doing much business with Ontario any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This story is a bit wild. After Elon Musk's DOGE erased decades of USAID data, it was assumed to be lost. But a Canadian college student had previously downloaded much of it in high school for a project. 4,000 PDFs. Thanks again, Canada. Yet again. www.aiddata.org/blog/before-...
