The Fox News / MAGA messaging on this is that it is proof that evil college professors are communists that brainwash children into being liberals.

It's like the people who say a newborn is a "neonate" and not a baby. Who the my eck cares? Didn't drop either one. And don't rape girls, over and over again.

Some things are easy to understand.

In other words, it's pretty much a distinction without a difference to anyone with any sort of moral compass.

"Pedophile" is for people attracted to pre-pubescent children, like 8 year olds. "Hebephile" for pubescent children from 11 to 14, and "ephebophile" for 15 to 16 year olds. But in common usage any sexual interest in a girl or woman under the age of consent is called a "pedophile" today.

Unless they get a veto proof majority, Trump vetos it. Only those GOP who *need* to vote for it to retain office will vote for it, with the knowledge Trump will veto, and he skates yet again. And they can say they voted for it. The women and girls don't matter, only the political calculation.

They pass legislation, through both the House and Senate, then to the President. Trump will veto. We will see some GOP votes, but not a veto proof majority. Only those GOP who need the help in their districts will vote for it. It's all theater, at the expense of girls and women who were exploited.

Johnson says House will have standalone vote to strip controversial Senate provision from funding bill Government funding bill includes provision that would create pathway for senators to sue the government if their phone records are investigated without their notice.

Corrupt provision in CR carved out special provision for 8 Senators, potentially enriching them by at least $1 million.

Oops, that's 63% of the vote for the win statewide, not 73%.

Democrats are 46% of the voters in CA. Prop 50 got 73% of the vote. Either the GOP stayed home, or independents and the 7% in third parties voted "Yes".

This was a referendum on Trump. And CA said Trump is over. And so did VA and PA and everywhere else. The midterms should be interesting.

45 to 46% of Californians are Democrats.

73% of voters voted "Yes" on Prop 50.

Make no mistake. This was a referendum on Trump.

And every independent and third party voter voted "Yes". And probably some registered Republicans too.

It's over, MAGA. It's over, Heritage. It's over.

2024 is depressing. But 2026 is coming.

2024 saw ignorance win over awareness. But 2026 is coming.

2024 abandoned the "least of these". But 2026 is coming.

2024 brought fear, and anger, and threats of retribution. But 2026 is coming.

2026 is coming.

My city has solar panels providing shade in most schools, the government center and many business parking lots. Most of CA's electricity is now from renewables, with solar the largest single source.

I think the Swiss get 7.5% of their power from the solar and the US gets 6.9%. So we're not far behind them. And we have a lot more land for large solar farms.

In CA, about a third of our power is from solar, the largest single source. The best use of it I see are as shade for parking lots.

This happens when there's an expectation of runaway inflation.

People with less money know they aren't going to be able to afford necessities, so they cut back and try to preserve what capital they have.

People with money accelerate buying to get ahead of the curve.

Vance, Noem, Miller and Holman should be top priority (and Trump of course, if he's not already dead). ICE should be abolished and all personnel fired, then select few reviews for a return of the old INS agency.

As someone who has to rely on it for pain relief, I've learned to read the labels carefully. It is an ingredient in so many cold and flu medicines that I can understand accidental overdoses!

To read this a day after hearing a crowd of people singing "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie, nearly 60 years after his death by Huntington's, makes me more insistent that when this current political class passes, we must restore science funding in full.

I have watched a few videos and read articles. A lot are not what we call "single payer" without private insurance companies, like the UK. Many have private insurance companies where you can buy different types of health insurance.
