Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Of course this weirdo was there too. Seattle’s finest. bsky.app/profile/atru...

She is a shameless cockroach but even I am surprised she weaseled her way into the goddamned White House.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

BREAKING

In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

‘I didn’t mean to scare anyone’: Dolly Parton’s sister says after asking for prayers Dolly postponed her first Las Vegas residency in more than 30 years late last month, saying she was dealing with health challenges.

Her sister definitely texts like a parent who says CALL ME NOW about something not urgent.

Straight people think about queer people more than we think about ourselves. It’s fascinating. And boring. And creepy. Y’all don’t even go here!!!

The first hour or so after waking up when you’re dehydrated, may have had a 💩, and haven’t eaten enough to start bloating.

Only seats available on nights I could go are near the stage. $350 is the lowest 😬

Next question, since folks seem to agree $350 is silly:

Will prices drop closer to showtime if they’re still available? Is there a discount/clearance site to check? Stand at the door?

TYIA I am simply an uncultured west coastie.

The only seats available on the nights I’m free are pretty close to the stage. $350 is the lowest 😱

Friends who have seen Oh Mary: Is it worth $350? I will be in NYC next week for work when Jane Krakowski starts…

ICYMI: Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would reopen the government AND save health care for millions of Americans.

This is now the FIFTH time we've voted on this bill.

The Republican shutdown continues.

JUST IN: Chicago journalistsa re suing DHS and ICE over force used against reporters:

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

The best Mayor Seattle has had the last 25 years was Mike McGinn, a political outsider who was president of a community council and won his election with a budget of like $50,000 because he had bold ideas that helped people and he delivered

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

While millions of Americans wait to see if their health care will be stripped and hundreds of thousands of federal workers are furloughed, Mike Johnson and his Republican colleagues have announced they're going on vacation. No votes until at least Oct. 14th.

Bruce really thought he was cooking with this one.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

Got my 5G boosted to stream the collapse of everything even faster.

This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.

Dispatches from the the other side of my house this morning.

This shutdown is of Republicans' own making.

Democrats are at the negotiating table. We don't have a long list of demands. We're not saying we need to find more money.

We just want Republicans to restore the health care coverage they took away from millions of Americans.

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

I kind of felt this too, but wasn’t gonna say it out loud and trigger a Bluesky rule-follower dog pile…
