Deeply satisfying public challenge to Mike “IDK” Johnson.

Fig 1 from our Year in Fire report. This figure is our attempt to measure and separate “good” low to moderate severity fire from “bad” high severity fire in California. We need more of the green in CA - as much as 4 million acres a year - but less of the blue. That’s the landscape fire challenge.

Is it time to call it a referendum on the president yet?

Democratic women have made history tonight:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

It's going to be a bumpy ride!

HISTORY MADE: Congrats to the next mayor of Albany, Dorcey Applyrs!

She will be the first Black mayor in the city’s history.

He should be forced to quit and then he should be primaried.

An utter disgrace.

Former AG Eric Holder to MeidasTouch: The Supreme Court Is ‘Broken’—Reform Must Be on the Table In an exclusive interview, former Attorney General Eric Holder tells Ben Meiselas that term limits and even expanding the Supreme Court must be seriously considered if Democrats regain a trifecta

Former AG Eric Holder: “If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028, Supreme Court reform is something that has to be considered. Term limits, at a minimum, and potentially expanding the Court, should be on the table.”

Furloughed feds pick up Seattle beach trash to keep serving the public Furloughed federal employees were out in the rain picking up cigarette butts, bottle caps, and other trash at Seattle’s Golden Gardens Park on Friday.

Good people. And role models, everyone should go to the beach and pick up trash. And then repeat, because it'll be back on the beach after the next high tide.

Call Mike Johnson's pastor and ask why Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in a representative that would be the 218th vote on a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the DOJ's full epstein files.

I think it's one reason Stephen Miller hasn't been more successful sowing fascist spectacle.

Ben Meiselas doesn't hold back after Meriwether Farms gushes over Trump but begs him not to "betray" them by propping up Argentina: What are you doing? Like, you realize he’s destroying you. He hates you. He absolutely hates you and thinks you’re dumb and stupid.
