I was taller than my five younger brothers until I was 18. Since then (62 years), they always stage photos so I am even shorter. My granddaughter with two younger brothers complained when she was 7:"I hate it they are going to be taller than me."

Is the US military poised to experience a new surge in conscientious objectors? For troops experiencing ethical dilemmas, following one's conscience can be costly.

Between US support of Israel's actions in Gaza and Trump's deployment of active-duty soldiers on US streets, some troops are ethically torn. But claiming conscientious objector status can carry a steep personal cost. This story brought to you by @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social and @motherjones.com.

YouTube video by MSNBC Chris Hayes: ‘Start planning for the unexpected’

“Donald Trump continues to blame his failure to prepare for and react to extreme weather on forces beyond anyone's control. Rather than actually plan ahead, he tries to pass it off like it’s just completely unforeseeable. He does it every single time,” says Chris Hayes. youtu.be/06c8aR2ZBdQ

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.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.”

Trump threatens to revoke US citizenship of longtime critic Rosie O’Donnell The president — who has already sought to limit birthright citizenship for the children of some immigrants — has no clear authority to do so.

Trump threatens to revoke the US citizenship of longtime critic Rosie O’Donnell.

It's really remarkable the degree to which the Federalist society takeover of the Supreme Court and to a lesser extent the courts of appeals has weakened the U.S. immune system against executive lawbreaking and abuse of power.

YouTube video by MSNBC Chris Hayes: It's not 'partisan politics' to question Texas flood response

WATCH: “Were lives unnecessarily lost because of incompetence or policy decisions or dysfunction? It is not partisan politics to ask those simple questions,” says Chris Hayes amid new reporting on the response to the deadly flooding in Central Texas.

Have you seen this man? In the wake of deadly floods in Texas, FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson is nowhere to be found.

Texas was devastated by deadly floods. In the aftermath, FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson is nowhere to be found. In any other administration, this would be an epic scandal. But with Trump, it's treated as business as usual.

Read my latest:

The 14th Amendment was ratified today in 1868—guaranteeing equal protection under the law.

157 years later, Trump’s trying to erase it like it was a typo.

No birthright citizenship. No due process. Just Trump doing what he does best—breaking the law.

I am updating my LinkedIn for the first time in over a decade if that's your sort of thing. (Still haven't figured out how to delete the decade old profile which must be linked to a former email address)

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas

Fire her. Blood on her hands.

Lyndon b Johnson clocked these people ages ago. They would rather burn it all down rather than help "the wrong people"

Lisa Murkowski, Charles Sumner, and a cowardice crisis in Congress | Will Bunch The driving force on Capitol Hill is cowardice, as both GOPers and Dems confess to fear of violence. It wasn't always that way.

A senator saw racism, threats to democracy were tearing America apart, so he spoke out, even after colleagues warned he'd be attacked. Charles Sumner was nearly caned to death in 1856, but he lives on as a hero.

Today, fear is winning in Congress. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/lisa...

Zohran Mamdani’s Lesson for the Left The New York City mayoral primary showcased a better kind of politics than progressives are used to.

This is framed as "lessons for the left," but Lander and Mamdani actually offer lessons for the center: Instead of ruthlessly undermining leftist candidates, emphasize shared values and refuse to amplify right-wing attacks.
