Blue Jays turned my favorite team inside out a few months ago...but they're also dismantling my least favorite team.

I'll allow it.

How about calling wind and solar "eternal energy"?

I mean, I had to watch Landman, where the characters kept invoking the inevitable end of oil and gas after peak oil, so I think calling wind and solar "eternal energy" might draw a nice contrast...

"Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes" = hating Israel, apparently. Noted. Very interesting.

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast β€œsocialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

Idk US Government, if you can't afford air traffic controllers and cancer researchers right now maybe you should take some accountability and pull yourself up by your bootstraps

Here it is. The last 10 years of hail events across the U.S. using my prototype hail tracking algorithm!

Hoping to build out a more robust climatology of hailstorms like we have for tornadoes.

12 years is a long time. A good stretch. But the EF-5 β€œdrought” has ended.

Also, this is a lesson to the Monday morning quarterbacks that this took *3 months* to confirm. Good analysis takes time. So save your hot takes immediately after an event.

I agree with Josh but with one caveat: Words can demoralize people. I have political science-y disagreements with people who say "America is now fascist," but more to the point, I don't want people to internalize the idea that it's all done and dusted. Trump is far weaker than may people realize.

Judge Immergut was an attorney on Ken Starr's special counsel staff that investigated Bill & Hillary Clinton, was an Assistant US Attorney under George W Bush, and was appointed to the federal bench by Trump.

She has every conservative legal bona fide and she sees clearly that Trump is lawless.

In the American system of government, a legislature of the people’s elected representatives decide how to allocate the people’s money, then an unelected appointee in the executive branch called β€œOMB Director” decides if he feels like distributing the people’s money that way or if he’d rather not.

Along with the horrific nature of his detention, this is a colossal waste of money:

β€œTwo to four uniformed guards have been continuously stationed in Petitioner's hospital room, monitoring him at all times .. while he sleeps, eats, uses the bathroom.”

Beyond the fact that legal immigrants and tourists can attend the Super Bowl, I find it absolutely hilarious that they're gonna have ICE harassing a bunch of rich people. Tickets are almost $10k.

Please own the libs harder.
