"new molecular structures that can trap vast quantities of gas inside, laying the groundwork to potentially suck greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere or harvest moisture from desert environments."
Nobel Prize in chemistry goes to discovery that could trap C02 and bring water to deserts
The Nobel committee said that the three laureates “have developed a new form of molecular architecture.”

True. Military reservist veteran. I wanted to serve my country, not follow unlawful orders and serve fascism.

By the way, I’ve been to Portland and I’d only want to invade Powell’s bookstore. Which I did on vacation one year! If they billet me at Powell’s, I’d have been tempted.

Exactly. And Republicans don’t honor their oaths that they swore to the Constitution so fuck them.

This is fascism. The PedoPrez’s regime is violating the Constitution to implement Project 2025 and implement a Theocracy led by a pedophile. Jesus would throw them out of the temple and throw a millstone around their necks.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.
