"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

A delighted reminder that if you don't want people celebrating your death, don't be a huge piece of shit.

A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do.

A guy whose businesses went bankrupt multiple times is telling the Fed what to do.

A guy whose best friend was a child sex trafficker is telling the DOJ what to do.

That it’s all the same guy is pretty wild.

The rapture… leave the rest of us in peace!

Motherfucking wind farms…

Phang: Holy crap. Think about that. Oh—did I just say “holy”? Well, it fits…

So, the church keeps its tax-exempt status while actively engaging in politics. Of course, this becomes a way to funnel money and circumvent campaign finance laws. Think about that.

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

The Senate tried to sell our public lands. Now, they are trying to sell off our ocean.

The massive budget reconciliation bill, working its way through the Senate, is proposing to sell leases on over 80 million acres of the ocean for new offshore oil and gas drilling — and that’s just in year one.

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare.

👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

This would entail the US electorate being able to understand correlation… I no longer believe this is a strong possibility

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads: "Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education." Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

Can’t make this up.

Thank you, Senator. The other part of my message was to actively support a change in Senate leadership from @schumer.senate.gov who is so willing to abandon not only the party’s base but also his oath to protect basic tenets of democracy.

🚨Call your senators this morning🚨There’s still time. Thank then for voting no on the CR and ask them to support a change in Senate D leadership if @schumer.senate.gov can’t hold the line for our democracy.

Just put ‘em a martini glass and you’re good to go

What the world needs now is more fossil fuels, says Trump’s energy secretary Chris Wright signals abandonment of Biden’s ‘irrational, quasi-religious’ climate policies at industry conference

"Trump obtained record donations from the fossil fuel industry in his 2024 campaign. In April, he ... reportedly asked more than 20 executives, from companies including Chevron, Exxon and Occidental, for $1bn and promised, if elected, to slash climate policies."

Euro Computer Model?

What is the ECMWF?

I use a media tracking platform for work that transcribes news broadcasts, etc and this is very common when the AI is unable to understand sections of common dialogue / reporting

📌I see the lying, old windbag has started destroying NOAA. I mean, what could go wrong?
