NBC News reports the Department of Energy, led by Colorado fracking magnate Chris Wright, is scrambling to rehire purged Nuclear Security Administration workers. Thankfully, Wright hasn't suggested merging his passion for fracking with nukes. (Colorado tried in 1969) www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZMf...

Journalists at the national and local level should be clear-eyed about the challenges of political accountability reporting today. We should be equally clear that we won’t be dissuaded from that reporting.

The Congressional special elections are our opportunity to fix this!
The Democrats can win back 2 seats, meaning no more Speaker Johnson. If we win the 3rd seat in NY-21, we have Speaker Jeffries.
I’m Gay Valimont, and my race in FL-1 has national implications.

I have friends who are genuinely confused when I point out to them that being politically engaged is a luxury item lots of folks don't invest time or money into. They don't think deeply about politics until and unless it directly affects them. It's an alien thought (and I get it!), but it's true.
Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists.
There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*.
And we absolutely can reach them.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit
