JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

This is remarkable. The world added more solar and wind capacity in 2024 than we added demand. 100% of demand growth PLUS 9% to retire dirtier sources. Cheap energy keeps winning. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

Re: the priest getting shot

Thought you meant like, the Metro transit system rather than the DC metro region, and was absolutely BAFFLED but also wanted to know what the correlation was

yo they hired Mamdani video guys. someone's doing some thinking somewhere

My most nanny-state liberal positions are, I think, that I would happily see buy-now-pay-later and payday lending and like 90% of gambling fully and completely outlawed

plenary authority over what Stephen?!? OVER WHAT STEPHEN

this is rather obviously illegal, but i would note that they don’t even seem to have an actual plan or mechanism to do this, i think they’re bringing it up solely as a way to try to pressure dems.

They hanged Charles I for this shit

There's a real "nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen" problem with russ vought trying to illegally withhold back pay for furloughed workers because even if he gets slapped down in court he's no worse off. There's never any penalty for breaking the law so they just keep doing it

This is a legitimately decent video

Donald Trump has heard the wails and lamentations of all the Rust Belt communities left behind by neoliberalism, and he has a message for them: fuck you and die

Live look of the founding fathers:

thank you brett kavanaugh!

Once again the comments are full of people accusing this farmer of voting for Trump. He didn't and he has plenty to say about it.

democrats in general - and ones with 2028 aspirations especially - should, imo, be thinking about how to answer the question: "what are you going to do to make these people pay?"

yes, there will be future elections. no, there's not gonna be a fascist takeover

these people are all incredibly juvenile and cruel (and it ought be non-negotiable that it needs to be dealt with by the next government), but they're also all dumber than pigshit

I don't doubt that Trumpism will soon crumble and things will return to a seeming normal. But what worries me is whether we will again make the mistake of offering impunity to these degenerates because if so, we're just waiting around for fascism that sticks.

I know everyone has moved on

But according to new CNU Virginia poll

Spanberger is up +13% on handling trans issue

It is top of mind for only 3% of voters

After GOP spent 2 months and millions pushing message

Perhaps why they have shifted focus in recent days…

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen
