Trump vetoes bipartisan bill to provide clean water to rural Colorado
The legislation to complete the Arkansas Valley Conduit passed Congress with unanimous support but was branded an ‘expensive and unreliable’ project by the President.

This is how the world ends. The rich paying whatever it costs to make everyone afraid of manufactured boogymen when they could instead just pay taxes that fund societal goods.
Elon Musk is preparing to dump hundreds of millions into anti-trans propaganda. It may not help Republicans win, but it will terrorize the vulnerable. Democrats cannot let these attacks go unanswered this time.
Musk prepares to buy another election and smear more trans kids

New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Because it’s a smash and grab.
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

@driftglass.bsky.social and @bluegal.bsky.social, I know you know about this juicy Atwater quote, but the context Kruse adds to the part that's normally quoted I did not know, and maybe you don't either?
Inspired by an exchange here yesterday, I wrote up a short piece at CAMPAIGN TRAILS about an infamous Lee Atwater quotation that just about everyone gets wrong.
Southern Strategies
This week, I saw someone on social media trot out a notorious quote from Lee Atwater that's wildly misunderstood. I went back to dust off my old Twitter thread about it, but I found that a lot of the ...

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

I’m generally very frustrated watching a lot of libs and leftists really clam up when environmental protections are abused to ex: suppress housing. The boomers love it and now use it as a universal lever to railroad any attempt to let poor people live near them, or near their playgrounds.

We don’t talk about just how many things Reagan broke nearly enough.
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

The weirdest thing about this discourse is that states with shorter school closures have the same amount of learning loss! I keep waiting for all the punditry on this to catch up with basic facts
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.
