In case you need even more reason to love offshore wind, this pilot development in Scotland demonstrates how amazingly renewable these systems can be, not just for energy but for marine biodiversity. Wind rocks! #sustainability #windpower #renewableenergy www.ecoportal.net/en/robot-ins...

These were side by side on Reddit. This is how the world sees the US. When is Fox going to decide that even their non-existent standards have been breached? When is enough going to be enough for MAGA?

Today, House Democrats tried to bring another War Powers Resolution to the floor. Republicans blocked us. As gas prices soar and troops are put in harm’s way, the GOP continues to be complicit in this reckless war.

When the world absolutely blows, but you find yourself getting an extra hour in your day, nothing better than a fun, short read to start you off. Coffee and Constituent Service by the amazing @scalzi.com have put me in the most amazing mood. Can't wait to reread with my kiddo! #books #booksky

Not only was he laughing right along, he gave a freaking interview defending their position and behavior. They put a fucking gold medal around the neck of the head of the FBI, who testified under oath that Epstein didn't traffic children. They celebrated a pedophile protector. He can f right off.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

I’ve been in New York riding the subway with my seven month old daughter for the past several days and I feel much safer doing that than pushing her stroller across a busy street in most of the rest of the country or taking her in a car on the freeway.

When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.
@ADL on X: We welcome @VP @JoeBiden’s admission he erred in describing those who take financial advantage of American servicemen & women as #shylocks.

Because we eat our own, while Rs back the lowest common denominator? Because the ancient leadership pushed him to run again because they don't want to acknowledge their own aging problem? Ultimately the DNC scammed and scarred a good, kind man because they're selfish pricks. And we let them. Shame.

I'm not clear who lied to him when, prior to 6 months ago, the government was clearly telling everyone to get the vaccines. All medical professionals, scientists, and society as a whole were telling him this. He and his kids weren't born in the last 6 months. Take ownership of your incompetence.
