Not sure it's a "big damn deal" when an objectively shitty person says the obvious but whatever

It's not

Yup

As former CalFire I guarantee you this will only get worse for federal lands and agencies. Also states less prone to wildfire who are not staffed or prepared as western states like CA will see disaster type out of control blazes.

MAGA Trump killed fire resources!

Erica Groshen, who led the bureau under President Barack Obama, recalled getting resistance from the agency’s staff when she tried to liven up the language of the monthly jobs reports. The bureau’s staff insisted that the agency’s job wasn’t to say whether the glass was half-full or half-empty, only to report that, “It is an eight-ounce container with four ounces of liquid.” Ms. Groshen relented.

The US of A was a great country once.

They never ruled he's immune from impeachment

Oh he caves

Senate GOP threatens confirmations rule change amid Democrats' "path of obstruction" on Trump's nominees Senate Republicans are mulling a possible rule change to allow them to more swiftly confirm President Trump's nominees amid Democrats' efforts to slow the process in protest to the president's policie...

Yes

The noble Senate.

Joke's on me: Heinrich was only refusing to back those three nominees. On Friday he voted on the floor to confirm wolf-killer and bear-torturer Brian Nesvik as Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

With Ds in support

oh look, Puzder has been confirmed now

The deal he was willing to take was pretty bad, but it put the onus on the GOP to be the ones choosing to abandon the Constitution. And in this environment, that's important.

One own goal after another

His caucus is a mess though

Senators leave Washington without Trump nominees deal Republicans warn they will come back and change the chamber's rules in September.

I posted a few times that I thought @schumer.senate.gov would cave again, and he didn't. Schumer made an offer - let nominations go through in exchange for restoring some Constitutional checks on Trump the GOP Senate has abandoned - and when the GOP refused, he didn't back down.

Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan voted to confirm Andrew Puzder, who had to back out of a labor secretary nomination because of spousal abuse allegations, to be Trump's ambassador to the EU.

Sea Level Mis-information from DOE Here in the USA, the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a report titled “A Critical Review of the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” It is a product of the &#8…

That's just one of many instances of distortion and misinformation in the US Department of Energy "Critical Review on the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions".

Let's hope Americans are not that easily fooled.

And many European nuclear power plants rely on cool river water, so they are not useful sources of energy.

Most nuclear power plants in Europe provide zero electricity during droughts and heat waves because the river water is too warm or too low.

Solar, wind & batteries are the best option.

Cory Booker goes on an impassioned riff about standing up to Trump, supporting leaders who fight, pragmatic solutions for the people, then dodges when asked if he supports @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

New York becomes first state to commit to all-electric new buildings The state finalized rules ensuring most new edifices will install electric heat pumps and stoves instead of gas appliances, lowering costs and improving…

Electrifying news! New York is the first state to adopt an all-electric building code prohibiting fossil fuels in new construction. A federal district court judge recently upheld the law requiring the standard, slamming a prior judgement on gas bans. My latest: www.canarymedia.com/articles/car...

The thermostat is broken.

We broke it.

the travel blog The Planet D shut down after its traffic dropped 90% following Google's introduction of AI Overviews

And yes Trump is firing the meteorologists.

The fucking Senate GOP killed USAID, CPB, and gave DHS $200 billion and cut Medicaid by a trillion dollars and they want Schumer to fold again.

Which he probably will

Thom Tillis is such a moral coward
