Let's not equivocate: state-controlled media are propaganda.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Even though it probably contributed to my campaign loss in 2020, I will never, ever regret trying to normalize being against fascism. I put #EverydayAntifascist on bumper stickers because I meant it.

I think we really have bought way too much into the myth of biofuels climate benefits

NEW: Biofuels globally emit more than the fossil fuels they replace, our latest study shows.

The first-of-a-kind study looks at global biofuels production today and the potential impacts of government biofuel targets.

Psst: Stop burning stuff on Earth for energy. Let the burning fireball in the sky be your energy source.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

Pretty important coverage of how RW media is shaping the info environment the Trump admin is using for decision making, especially in light of 9th circuit arguments and the presumption of deference to the executive hinted at by those judges

“The administration’s close ties to a small but well-followed group of influencers and conspiracy theorists has amplified their voices, and they in turn have encouraged administration efforts to crack down on demonstrators.”

It’s very much Not Great to have GOP leadership describe a planned non violent march as being in service a the “terrorist wing”

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Thank you Governor, other Governors, and all your Attorneys General. As a former Marylander posting from peaceful Portland, I urge everyone to understand that this is the line that simply must be held.

The federal government is arguing that the facts on the ground in Portland actually don’t matter and the White House should be able to do whatever they want without any possible restraint.

Portland is so full of brilliant bike people. At Bike Happy Hour last night, John Fortes (John the Johnster on socials) showed me his amazing, articulating front light that he designed, 3D printed, and built himself!

What we’re seeing in Portland is unconstitutional. Using American cities as a “training ground” for military operations is a terrifying thought—and a dangerous abuse of power. Federal agents are using excessive force against Portlanders, deliberately fueling tension to justify their own overreach.
