Delia Ramirez in s hearing. A staffer is holding a picture of Noem behind her, with four quotes from stories. Her mouth is open making her look surprised.

Dems are doing an exceptional job in Noem oversight hearing, using a lot of clips. @delia.bsky.social included a video FROM THIS HEARING of Noem lying.

But this picture is pretty funny.

Aaron Rupar is proof that some of the best journalists *are* stenographers. The simple act of recording and publishing the words that they themselves utter - especially when they are as risible as Noem's - is profoundly important.

Basically, we need more reporters. Fewer journalists.

When Microsoft, Stripe, and Shopify supported Running Tide a few years ago, the due diligence was done by people who didn't know anything about the ocean. This was exactly why I got interested in monitoring, reporting, and verification for marine CO₂ removal. Things are very different today.

Washington State Flooding Intensifies, Prompting Rescues and Evacuations

Catastrophic flooding in BC and WA is putting thousands at risk.

We’ve always had heavy rain and floods; but as the world warms, they’re becoming more frequent and severe. And it was a UVic research team that ID'd the human fingerprint in increasing extreme precip. www.nature.com/articles/nat...

Evacuation orders issued for hundreds in Abbotsford amid flood warnings | CBC News Evacuation orders were issued for 371 properties in Abbotsford, B.C., Wednesday as heavy rains inundated southern B.C. and led to the closure of all major highways leading out of the Lower Mainland.

Heavy rains from an atmospheric river have forced evacuations and closed all major highways out of BC’s Lower Mainland due to extreme flooding and high avalanche hazards—reminiscent of catastrophic climate-driven floods in 2021.

The 2021 atmospheric river event cut off coastal BC from the rest of Canada as highways were washed away leading to billions of dollars in losses. That underscores the critical need to prepare for these events to protect people, communities & the economy. climateinstitute.ca/canada-wants...

EVERYONE should watch this jaw-dropping exchange. Bennie Thompson asks simple questions and receives stammering answers, highlighting the political BS like nothing I’ve ever seen. Astonishing.

Donald Trump is an idiot.

We have the solutions to stop climate change.

Now, it's time to bring them to scale. Fast.

To know what works, what doesn't, and how to get moving on science-based climate solutions, visit the Drawdown Explorer.

Project Drawdown’s overview is brilliant — and overwhelming. Seeing all these solutions in one place makes the scale of change brutally clear. We’re not facing a few tweaks but a vast transformation that most people still underestimate.

We need hope, not cynicism The Green Party is ready for the change people are demanding

People are choosing a politics of decency, courage and imagination.

They’re choosing a politics that doesn’t scapegoat the vulnerable or remain quiet on injustice.

People are choosing to make hope normal again.

Today in 1972, as Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, and Ron Evans were rocketing toward the Moon, one of them looked back and took this iconic photograph, the first to capture a fully-illuminated round Earth and the only one taken by a human being.

Incredible how many people are still immune to objective climate science. This classic video of Dr. Sagan's testimonial just turned 40 years. #EarthSystemScience #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #Science #CarlSagan #AlGore #GlobalWarming

Of all the things the US has chosen to do differently than the rest of the world, I think this may be the dumbest. You'd have trouble finding any urban neighborhood in Europe or Latin America without a plaza. It's just so basic. And yet the US has virtually none! No public space, no public.

Democrats score big wins in Florida and Georgia, as the GOP's election woes continue The more Donald Trump and his party pretend they don’t have an electoral problem, the more Republicans lose winnable elections.

Republicans keep saying they don’t have a political problem. They also keep losing elections.

Miami’s mayoral race was big, but Dems flipping a state House seat in Georgia was just as notable. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
