Zohran won by 10 points in a city that Kamala won by 37 points. Hardly cruising to victory.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Before the moment Jen Pawol made history as MLB's first female umpire in the regular season, the importance of the moment already was apparent.

Not just for Pawol but for baseball and so many of its fans.

"Major groundwater basins underlie roughly one-third of the planet ... Many of those aquifers took millions of years to form and might take thousands of years to refill. The researchers warn that it is now nearly impossible to reverse the loss of water 'on human timescales.'"

πŸŒβ„οΈ Glacier futures depend on climate targets

A new study finds that limiting warming to 1.5Β°C - rather than 2.7Β°C - could double global glacier preservation. Every 0.1Β°C matters: more ice lost, more sea-level rise.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Across the US, state efforts have helped cut cumulative emissions by more than a billion tons annually since 2000. Climate action remains popular among voters, and progressive states are staying the course. By @mrmattsimon.bsky.social for Grist
