‘The Work of Democracy is The Work of Our Time’

The guy we are saving with $20B bailout

Tomorrow, I, along with Senator Kaine will be forcing a vote to block President Trump’s use of our Armed Forces to conduct strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea.

Congress has not authorized these strikes. They are illegal and risk dragging America into another war.

This is sad facts 😆

Here’s last night’s story about presidential libraries, how they help shape history, the troubling ways they can be used, and – of course – some tasteful conjecture about one president’s undercarriage. youtu.be/dB1-lg-xZWc

I don't know that this is the *most* unethical thing David Frum has ever done, but in terms of professional *journalistic* ethics? Whooo boy

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Why efforts to protect Highway 12 could be making flooding worse A UNC-led study says decades of road protection efforts may be accelerating erosion and putting the Outer Banks at greater risk.

Defending the highway to the NC Outer Banks is problematic: “It’s the overwash of sand that built these islands in the first place and allows them to persist," Moore said. "By blocking that process to defend roadways and buildings, we’re starving these islands of the lifeline they need to exist.”

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Ireland declaring a permanent universal basic income for artists is the validation creators need — how VITAL our work is. The monetary, cultural, & intrinsic value of art is palpable. THIS is reputable proof of that. How much better would societies run if EVERYONE had a UBI?! It’d be life-changing.

Maps show how expected increases in monthly premiums vary by age and geography.

If ACA healthcare subsidies are not extended, a 60-year-old earning $65k in Key West, Fla. could see premiums go from $460 a month with the subsidies to $2,400 a month without.

"Noem’s motorcade then drove out of the facility past a handful of protesters on the street outside, including one dressed as a bear wearing a sombrero."

This is the way.

Data centers in other states are raising power costs in West Virginia West Virginians are seeing higher power costs as AI and data centers increase electricity demand across the regional power grid.

There are many reasons that are causing increased electricity rates for West Virginians. But the explosion of data centers is making it worse.

but your premise is wrong. Her book does not undermine anyone.

Jane Goodall’s Second-Greatest Talent She knew how to wield her fame to protect the animals she loved.

Delightful short read about Jane Goodall, who said, "I suppose I was born a fighter, but a fighter in a rather different way from getting out there & being aggressive, because I don’t think that works. You’ve just got to be calm & tell stories, & get people to change from within.”
