Fetterman expresses support for Trump's bonkers Truth Social post and aggression toward Venezuela: "It makes it that Iran is involved on that, and Russia is involved on that, and China as well too. That's sanctioned oil right now ... it makes a lot of sense."

A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration.

NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday.

We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.

Adopting.

Babies.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

An incomprehensibly stupid own goal. Healthcare, eldercare, and childcare are about to get a hell of a lot more expensive. And it's going to hit rural areas especially hard.

Hope the racism was worth it!
NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

We're days from a new administration taking office, but Katie Wilson's limiting factor when it comes to making zoning changes won't be what's in this plan today. It will be how fast the city can conduct environmental review around what changes she'd like to see on top of Harrell Admin priorities.

It’s hard to imagine any recent mayor caring enough to issue a statement like this. Katie knows road deaths are preventable and Seattle can do better.
Early Sunday morning, a driver struck and killed a 38-year-old named Allie who was biking across Beacon Ave S. The driver fled the scene. As a lifelong cyclist who’s had my share of close calls, my heart goes out to Allie’s family and friends.

Many of the Christmas songs that Miller’s Christian Nationalist pals will be enjoying this season were written by Jewish immigrants who, like Miller’s ancestors, were considered at the time to be unassailable threats to American civilization who should be prevented from becoming Americans.
Stephen Miller's cousin unloads on him:

“We’re Jewish—we grew up knowing how hated we were just for existing. Now he’s trying to take away the exact thing his own family benefited from: that ability to prosper, to build community, to live a rewarding life.”

Indeed. Unlike Charlie Kirk, you can describe and quote the Reiners' work in a glowing memorial piece.

You can't do that with Kirk—his life's work was advocating for hatred and bigotry—and the NYTimes didn't.

Honestly portraying him would have been, as they say, inconceivable.
I'm having trouble finding the "America Mourns Rob and Michelle Reiner" piece from the NY Times Editorial Board.
