The Trump-Alito phone call story will understandably get lost in the news cycle, but I think Alito's explanation for the call, which only gets weirder the more that comes out about it, is the best evidence in the long time that the Supreme Court's conservatives think you are an idiot
I, For One, Find Sam Alito’s Explanation of His Phone Call With Donald Trump Very Reasonable and Not at All Weird
Have our dedicated public servants not earned the benefit of the doubt??

My cousin lost his home Altadena. His daughters set this up. The Katrina floods were one kind of hell for me, this is a whole other variety for my family and so many others. I know there are plenty of folks in need right now, but even a signal boost helps.

The DNC will choose a new chair Feb 1. But the names of the members who will vote is secret, even to *other members.*
Until today. We are publishing a list of all 448 voting members of the DNC, to show how power is concentrated & flows inside the national party. Micah Sifry has the story.

Ok 2025, this is a quality start! Was not expecting to see an adult bolas spider this time of year 😍
She's barely alive, might be at the end of her life, or caught by the recent freeze (they're usually deceased by winter). Sleep well, lovely Lump. 🤎
I've only seen 3 bolas spiders ever.

I know I keep screaming this into the void but just because climate change isn’t the *only* factor contributing to an extreme event doesn’t mean it’s not *a* factor. Literally nothing on Earth is unaffected by the changing climate.

Ever since Monday, our place has been a revolving door of out-of-towners and people who needed to evacuate, and the number one lesson I've learned: I need to buy more than one set of guest sheets. I have washed the same sheets SO MANY TIMES.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Time was when we had disasters our nation would come together and support the leadership and send aid. Now the party that sells itself as "Christians" use every crisis as a way to smear and shit on other Americans. I am so sick of the monstrous mutant pile of crap the Republican Party has become.
