one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

So the flunkies in the administration are going after a career prosecutor who, in addition to his number stints as a US attorney and DA, also worked in criminal prosecution at the ICC in The Hague? I mean, that’s chutzpah.

can't it be both?

Michael's is having their summer clearance, so, probably quite a bit. ;)

NY State Senate Bill 2025-S3425 Establishes the New York Health program, a comprehensive system of access to health insurance for New York state residents; provides for administrative structure of the plan; provides for powers and d...

There is a bill in NY that proposes to create a single payer system. It has been proposed for years, but it is very important that it gets passed this year so as to offset the reductions in care that will go into effect in 2026. For more information: www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important to our democracy.

Public radio stations reach 98% of Americans. If they close, millions lose access to critical news.

Trump is trying to control not just what we do, but what we know. Be warned.

Health coverage exemptions, forms, and how to apply If you don't have health coverage, you may have to pay a fee. You can get an exemption in certain cases. See all health coverage exemptions for the tax year. If you qualify for one of these exemptions...

If they haven't done away with this, you may be able to get at least something this way. I may be in the same boat so I'm looking into it, although they may have raised what your income percentage needs to be. www.healthcare.gov/health-cover...

A big part of this is that most Americans don’t use any type of public transportation. They don’t understand the benefit to them personally, so they don’t see it as important. I met someone recently who has never taken a bus or train in their life, at almost 50! I’m going to introduce her to it.

Duo sentenced to four years for ‘moronic’ killing of tree in England — The Washington Post The Sycamore Gap tree, a beloved symbol of northeast England located at a UNESCO heritage site, was cut down in 2023 in what prosecutors called a “moronic mission.”

Some good news.

This is why there’s been so much extreme rainfall and flooding in the U.S. — The Washington Post There’s been an abnormal amount of extreme rainfall across the United States in recent days. Here’s what’s driving it.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

They’re running scared.
From the article:
“It took from the invention of the photovoltaic solar cell, in 1954, until 2022 for the world to install a terawatt of solar power; the second terawatt came just two years later, and the third will arrive either later this year or early next.”

Justice Dept. Whistle-Blower Warns of Trump Administration’s Assault on the Law

I’ve reviewed the texts and emails the whistleblower supplied to back up his comprehensive report and warning about Trump administration efforts to defy and ignore court orders.

arguing gets engagement, views, likes, reposts, and ultimately money. That's the only thing they are upset about - they are losing money from the lack of engagement (enragement?)

To answer your question, no. She’s the daughter of the pest-control magnate Gary Rollins, whose company (Orken) is worth $14.2 Billion. I doubt she’s ever done any labor in her life.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

As countries across the world turn to renewable energy, there is a chance for a deep reordering of the earth’s power systems, in every sense of the word “power,” offering a plausible check to not only the climate crisis but to autocracy.

Part 1: Climate change's influence in producing events like the #TexasFloods. Talk about it, we must. The interview followed an excellent report by Derek Van Dam which spoke of the supercharged atmosphere's ability to dump rain. As seen on @cnn.com with @erinburnett.bsky.social 📺 1/3

They hate having to pay for their ongoing care. The VA is the largest “socialized” medical care in the country, and private health insurance really wants to get their hands on that $$. Look at who their (heritage foundation) top donors are - all healthcare related. It’s all about the $$

“Each of these functions could be provided commercially” is the reasoning behind this. These nitwits think having multiple corporate entities vie for who best interprets the data and sells it to the highest bidder is the way we should handle weather data, wish no mention of climate change. Idiots.

Watched Mel Brooks’ oddly relevant Blazing Saddles and ate brownie strawberry shortcake. Low key but nice.

Every. Single. Word. Is. A. Lie. Including “an,” “the,” and “it.”

They literally do not care.

This is not in the bill. Just a total lie.

chart shows that under the bill, people making under $30,000 pay more in taxes, and millionaires pay substantially less.

The Joint Committee on Taxation is up late and busts out this striking distributional analysis of the Senate bill on taxes:

These are lies

I’m still stuck on the “signal-gate” thingy.

Really glad I bought my electric Bolt EUV last year.

Yes, but this plays right into the “small gov’t” republican philosophy. If they cut funding to an essential program and it’s then privately funded, it only further motivates them to cut more “special needs “ programs.

Supreme Court order Vote recount.

YESSSSSSS!!! Repost Please.

Especially with their goslings around them. They’re very protective.
