So far Newsom seems to be the only one who gets it. Have you read Lessons in Persuasion from Jesus and Lady Gaga? Great book and very true.

This was a ruling I noticed and I think the loss of deference is likely to spread. Eventually to the Supreme Court.

“Earlier this month, a federal judge appointed by President Trump in 2019, did the worst thing you can do to Trump in a court of law,” our columnist David French writes. “She took him seriously.”

Dishonest presidents should be entitled to no deference at all.

🏔️ Glaciers lose their cooling edge

Scientists found that mountain glaciers will soon warm in step with the air around them, losing their brief cooling buffer and melting faster after midcentury.

Mountain glaciers recouple to atmospheric warming over the twenty-first century - Nature Climate Change

It has been argued that air temperatures over mountain glaciers are decoupled from surrounding warming, which could slow down melting. Here the authors show that this effect will weaken with future glacier retreat, leading to a recoupling of temperatures from the 2030s onwards.

I’ve felt the same for 50 years. The fact that so many have been cleared tells me that it’s not safe penalty. Defenders of it show themselves to be very poor critical thinkers imho.

What happened and what is currently happening to this man is shameful.

But aside from that... someone got away with murder.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Pretty soon people in Trump-supporting states will feel the effects of the Federal Shutdown.

In fact workers in these states are feeling the shutdown NOW: unpaid federal workers, stalled food aid, closed parks. Families and small businesses are hurting fast!

Millions of his supporters have the maturity of a 9 year old and have behaviour issues. That might explain it.

MAGA says David Black isn't a real pastor at a real church. The second image is his church. He's listed on the website as the Pastor. That seems pretty real to me.

This would be hilarious if it wasn’t so dangerous- they’re dressed like they’re in a combat zone whilst their enemies wear animal costumes. The world is laughing at the American government, and looking at this picture, so is Portland.

Q: "How many layoffs have you authorized?"

Trump: "A lot. It will be Democrat oriented...They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we'll announce the numbers over the next couple of days, but it will be a lot of people...Many of them will be fired."

It’s about time some red state governors said this!

Tweet from Home of the Brave: “Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt criticizes Trump for sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois,” followed by Stitt’s quote about states’ rights and federalism. Below is a photo of Stitt sitting in his office with an American flag behind him.
