I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Which makes an election campaign focused on making ludicrous tax pledges and reinforcing Brexit ted lines, while relying on growth to fund improvements in public services, look either incompetent or dishonest.

After shutting down the federal government and voting to do nothing about an imminent health insurance premium spike, House Republicans have now gone on a multi-week vacation.

Donald Trump and the GOP just aren't for the American people.

And yet Americans largely and willfully ignore this one, very basic truth
Every time I see masked ICE officers ripping a parent from their child, I think:

“Americans chose this; they knew this would happen. A lot of people were happy at the thought.”

And I feel that I do not at all understand the country I am in and the world around me.

Whatever happens with Bolton, we should keep focused on the unmistakable pattern: Trump’s manufacturing of fake pretexts for use of law enforcement and the military to target critics and consolidate power.

Trump’s FBI Raid of John Bolton’s Home Looks Like a “Five-Alarm Fire”
Thus far, little is known about Friday’s law enforcement action against a top Trump critic. But we’re seeing an escalation of authoritarian power on many fronts that has grown unmistakable.

For a host of reasons, it's outrageous that Republicans are on the warpath against renewables. It's outright sabotage of the American economy in favor of our enemies, global warming, and a handful of exceptionally dim investors with their money tied up in more-expensive-per-kW fossil fuel energy.
One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

American Gestapo
She runs a large anti-ICE TikTok account—now agents caught on livestream targeting her in violent arrest.

Agents drag her out of Tesla & throw her on ground where she lay unresponsive—then rushed by ambulance to hospital.

She is well-known to ICE as community activist who films raids Los Angeles.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Remember, the jobs numbers were faked. The economy is actually very strong. But the Fed needs to cut rates. Because it should really pay more attention to the faked job numbers.

CBS claims that its decision to cancel Stephen Colbert’s show is “financial,” but “the network that once made Cronkite the most trusted man in America no longer gets the benefit of the doubt,” @dgraham.bsky.social argues:
Is Colbert’s Ouster Really Just a ‘Financial Decision’?
CBS no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt.

All these media outlets presenting the story like someone showed up at a protest with tear gas and chucked it at cops rather than, you know, THROWING IT BACK.

Of course the Daily Mail would go with “unarmed black man tries to steal cop’s bullet.”
