California is about to 100% replace coal from our state's energy supply.

The 30,000+ megawatts in new clean energy and storage we've added since 2019 is now powering about half of our peak electricity demand.

While Trump bets on the past, California is shaping the future.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.

Bacon: "The president was demanding her indictment 2 weeks ago and I think it really muddies the water. Normally, the president says out of this discussion, they let the attorney general and the process work. When you have a president ordering & demanding indictments, it will be used by the defense"

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

That’s not how you science.

Tweet from Republicans Against Trump says: “RFK Jr: There’s no proof that Tylenol causes autism. We’re doing the studies to make the proof.” Below is a photo of a White House meeting showing RFK Jr., Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump at a long conference table.

Mike Davis clerked for Neil Gorsuch, worked in DOJ and on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now he is an election denier troll who peddles conspiracies on Steve Bannon's show.

So, of course, all of that makes him a close ally of the Trump regime.

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

If you cannot say Trump’s name today—how will you stand up to him tomorrow?
