How can we be the United States if the GOP thinks Dems are not entitled to representation?

There is no unity that way. There is no country that way.

We cannot be a meaningfully representative democracy until we replace the Senate & single-member districts as currently structured with actually representative & democratic institutions

At some point, Trump opponents need to comprehend that their job isn't to mitigate the damage Trump is intent on doing (thus saving him from himself) but to highlight it (thus bringing about his self-destruction).

Are mushrooms the future of insulation? Scientists in Alaska are working to develop a sustainable and affordable fungus-based solution for insulation.

Scientists are using mushrooms to create sustainable insulation for housing in Alaska’s extreme climate, which sees parts of the state swing from minus-78 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 degrees throughout the year.

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.

thanks for sharing. (that window faces White House, yes?)

🔥 In the Pokrovsk direction, the POPRYVSE group is cutting off Russian logistics.

#PuertoRico still hasn't recovered from #HurricaneMaria 8 years ago. But Puerto Rico is a U.S. colony & the U.S. was/is *supposed* to rebuild after the storm. We'll see if sovereign nations fare any better after #HurricaneMelissa.

This is beautifully written -- for the UK context, which is somewhat different from the US, but consistent with what I've heard from some asylum-seekers in the US. Listen to their voices.

Action suggestion: Call your members of Congress (regardless of party) and urge them to join this effort to get the SNAP emergency fund used as Congress mandated, to ensure benefits don't stop. If your members are already on board, call to thank them.

The stars were plentiful, and in the aftermath of the lunacy, one of them stood in the Dodgers' clubhouse, still trying to process what happened. Will Klein, the last man out of the Dodgers' bullpen, a reliever who had topped out this year at two innings and 36 pitches, threw four innings of one-hit ball and struck out five on 72 pitches. The last of them, an 86 mph curveball, induced a swing-and-miss from Tyler Heineman and a scream from Klein, who understood what had been asked of him and knew he'd delivered. Games don't become classics without efforts like Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going."

The states say suspending SNAP "is both contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act," and "irreparably harming their states."

"A harm that increases every day SNAP benefits are delayed."

1.b. A woman who is regarded with respect or affection similar to that often accorded to an aunt (sense la) despite not being linked by this specific kinship; esp. a close family friend or (chiefly regional, as a term of respect or affection) an elderly woman. Also as a form of address or as a title preceding a first name.

BTW I just wanna be clear: it's not that Zohran "misspoke" or was "slightly inaccurate."

He used the word "aunt" in a sense that has been common in the English language since 1750, and it's ridiculous to say "oh well you didn't SAY you meant sense 1.a. and not sense 1.b.
