NEWS: CBS News gutted its climate team as part of the big Paramount layoffs this week. These journalists had been doing incredible reporting on extreme heat, flooding, clean energy investments and more.

I've got details for Climate-Colored Goggles: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/cbs-news-g...

Paramount and Bari Weiss aren't off to a great start. Here's why David Ellison should change course.

—The three big Atlanta metro counties with large Black populations, Fulton, DeKalb, and Clayton, make up 28% of the total electorate currently, compared to 19% at the end of 2024. (I don't have that number for the equivalent point, though given overall trend I suspect it'd have been around 19.5%.)

Let me put this in two other ways:

—Put another way: The 5 biggest blue counties are all within 8 and 16% of the 2024 total vote. (16% is the biggest county, no less.) The 5 biggest red counties are all under that.

1. GEORGIA: Biggest day of voting yet, with 80K extra voters.

And... overall numbers barely budged.

The 10 biggest blue counties represent 50.3% of voters overall (like yesterday), compared to ≈45.3% at this point 2024.

32.3% of voters are Black (like yesterday), compared to 25.1% in 2024.

The Trump administration mocks and dismisses protesters as "elderly hippies" but this underscores how truly terrified they are of the power of protesters.

Apparently someone tricked the clerk's office into deep-sixing it, per Josh & Kyle. Judge Nichols said he didn't seal it, they report, and if somebody wanted it sealed they'd have to file a motion & explain why. But as of this writing, it's still gone. ...

Judge says prosecutors who were placed on leave ‘did a truly excellent job’

Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave hours after describing Jan. 6 as an attack by “a mob of rioters.”

A big upshot here: Republicans and Democrats have both been making their case throughout the shutdown about who is to blame, but Republicans have arguably had a much bigger megaphone with Trump…

…And yet, nearly 30 days later, they've barely moved the needle outside the margin of error here.

Jacob Bogage @jacobbogage.bsky.social · 13h

👀 NEW: Americans blame Trump and GOP more than Democrats for shutdown, per new @washingtonpost.com poll.

Independents blame Trump and Republicans more than Democrats by a 2-to-1 margin, 46% to 23%.

While neither man is in jail, as they both should be, at least the UK took steps to penalize a child rapist, Prince Andrew, I mean, Mr. Windsor, whereas the United States continues to protect one, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is trying to normalize authoritarianism. We cannot let that happen. We cannot take the bait that normalizes things that are fundamentally wrong.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
