Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Tariffs without Congressional approval are taxation without representation. Time to throw tea into the harbor.

Tariffs must be seriously thought out and used to help American workers & consumers. They should not be used to punish the political decisions of our allies.

Canada has a right to set its own policy on Palestine. Americans shouldn't pay the price because Trump doesn't like it.
US President Donald Trump intensified his trade war with Canada a day ahead of his August 1 deadline for a tariff agreement, saying it would be 'very hard' to make a deal with Canada after it gave its support to Palestinian statehood reut.rs/45pnyGt 1/5

Hey Ohio! Your state is redistricting! As my friend @repemiliasykes.bsky.social Sykes explains—your maps were already found to be unconstitutional. But now, your legislature & gov could use the opportunity to try to cheat in the 2026 election. And nobody likes a cheater. Especially in the Midwest!

The biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s never sharing.
My first Climate Ages post got 3 views.
Now it’s a trusted platform with thousands.

The difference?
I showed up.
Messy, small, public.

The world can’t support what it can’t see.

This is the same amount as the entire National Science Foundation's R&D spending for the entire field of *engineering* for the whole country. All of it.
NYT reports that a mysterious, *$984 million* transfer from a Pentagon"black box" account might be paying for the renovation of Trump's "free" Qatari jet.

This is the biggest story in politics right now that almost no one knows about.

Trump knows he can't win the midterm election fairly. So he's trying to rig the rules before an election even happens.

If his insane redistricting plan happens in Texas, it'll spread to the rest of the country next.

Lieu: I also note the Epstein files that have already been released show that Trump is all over the files. He’s in multiple pictures with Epstein. There’s multiple videos of Trump with Epstein. There are plane logs of Trump on Epstein’s plane.

As the Senate considers voting to approve Trump's devastating funding cuts to public broadcasting, listen to the words of LeVar Burton.

The Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Contact your senators today and urge them to oppose these cuts.
