The Speaker of the House is not going to allow an impeachment vote.

On what basis does anyone think that Trump would be impeached over anything in the Epstein files? This is an arithmetic question and a Rules of the House of Representatives question.

Here's alt text for this image:

**Alt text:** A two-panel comparison graphic. The top panel is titled "Tobacco companies trying to mislead the public" and shows a scanned excerpt from an internal tobacco industry document stating "Doubt is our product since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the mind of the general public" β€” a strategy of manufacturing public controversy despite internal acknowledgment that cigarettes are harmful. The bottom panel is titled "Climate Working Group emails" and shows a text excerpt stating "About all I can hope is that what we write will provide sufficient 'reasonable scientific doubt' regarding the science claims in the 2009 TSD, based upon almost 2 decades of new science, to call into question the original reasoning for the EPA Administrator's decision that CO2 presents a threat to human health and welfare." The juxtaposition draws a parallel between tobacco industry disinformation tactics and the climate denial strategy reflected in the DOE Climate Working Group communications.

New polling says Jasmine Crockett has the best chances to beat Ken Paxton in Texas.

The β€œshe can’t win” crowd might want to start updating their talking points because the voters know what’s up.

870-acre solar farm proposed in Ingham County A proposal for a nearly 900-acre, $100 million solar farm in the southwest corner of Ingham County is now being reviewed by state officials.

The 90 MW project near Lansing, Michigan will be reviewed by the Michigan Public Service Commission, which has some authority to approve certain renewable energy projects over the objections of local zoning boards. The project would produce enough power for 20,000 homes. #EnergySky

Don't get your hopes up. #Ireland is considering boarding and inspecting Russian shadow fleet vessels. But not arresting and confiscating them. (We're too incapable militarily and our politicians too chickenshit to do that.)

Judges Have Rebuked Trump’s Mass Detention of Immigrants Thousands of Times Hundreds of judges across the nation have ruled over 4,400 times that President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement arm is detaining people unlawfully, according to a new Reuters review of court documents. And that’s just since October. The Trump administration’s immense increase in detainments rests, in part, on their decision to detain people while their immigration […]

Last I looked, the archaeology shows Britain has been being colonized by immigrants since before the land bridge was submerged, about 8,200 years ago.
