Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

"The goal isn’t to scare off a few undocumented gardeners and housekeepers or terrify asylum-seeking mothers. It’s to normalize the idea that active-duty troops can be used on American streets against American citizens."

Fast swings between alarmingly wet and very dry weather can create conditions for destructive wildfires. Scientists say that ‘hydroclimate whiplash’ is increasing as the atmosphere warms. via @kqednews.bsky.social

Californians are all too familiar with flip-flopping weather extremes, and new research suggests that weather whiplash is increasing as the atmosphere warms due to human-caused climate change.

California’s building code for wildfires is among the most protective in the nation. Yet the destruction in Los Angeles demonstrates the limits of those efforts, raising uncomfortable questions about whether any part of the U.S. can truly adapt to wildfires made worse by a hotter climate.

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.
