It's not as damning as the >500,000 child deaths per year that Elon Musk personally caused, but, yes, he also personally caused our weather forecasts to be worse. All to run a larger deficit than 2024 when Biden was still President—which was intentional too, MAGA is 100% cruelty and theft.

this is a story about a person who fled to seattle because their life was threatened because of who they are, the other a person who fled seattle because he was a selfish and entitled person who felt out of place these are not the same www.npr.org/2026/06/08/n...

The red state, blue state divide is real. But it's driven by more than just politics

Recent research suggests there's more going on with "ideological sorting" than simply moving to places that match one's politics. It's often one of many deciding factors, such as taxes or safety.

It's been a long road, starting with a judicial confirmation fight in 2005. But the progressive case against abolition—that the filibuster protects people from a far-right agenda—crashed into Republican aggression. Republicans get what they want filibuster or no. www.offmessage.net/p/filibuster...

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota

Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota
The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.

If Dems talked like this regularly, we wouldn't have to focus on "how to win close elections in difficult environments." We would have a lot fewer close elections, and a lot fewer difficult environments.

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

"These findings highlight the divergence between what the candidate emphasized and what the media reported" hmmmmm www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

Kamala Harris’s nomination at the 2024 Democratic National Convention was both unusual and historic. Not only was she the first woman of color to be nominated for the presidency by a major party, but she also emerged as the party’s choice without having competed in any nominating contests, an outcome made possible by Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the candidacy. National nominating conventions are important opportunities for parties and candidates to draw media attention, and this coverage shapes the political impact of conventions. This was especially important in 2024, given the shortened nature of the Harris campaign. Using a sample of newspapers and TV news programs, we find that the media over emphasized controversial issues such as the war in Gaza and immigration while under emphasizing other substantive policy areas such as the economy. In addition, the coverage tended to amplify attention to so-called “women’s issues” and downplay Harris’s patriotic appeals. These findings highlight the divergence between what the candidate emphasized and what the media reported, with important implications for public perception of the campaign and Harris’s policy priorities.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

yeah that’s because it’s a lot easier to tear everything down than build durable government programs that help people

Congrats to the Rutgers Agrivoltaics Program for completing their vertical PV system to research how solar can co-locate with agriculture. Looking forward to seeing more projects like this in New Jersey!
