Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right?

MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.

After Stephen Miller's "plenary authority" claim that Trump has the same absolute power that Hitler had, the American people are increasingly realizing that Trump is a dangerous authoritarian despot with delusions of grandeur.

The article image shows a person holding food near their mouth in a room with shelves and decorations.

Pro-tip: Don’t try to take on Gavin Newsom’s press team. Especially if you’re a dumb dumb.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals!

Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Bar chart of U.S. electricity generation from wind and solar, 2015–2024. Both sources rise steadily, with wind higher overall. By 2024, wind produces just under 500,000 GWh and solar about 300,000 GWh

Imagine flipping a switch in 70 million American homes...that's how much electricity solar & wind generated in 2024 alone (756,621 GWh).

Coal, oil, & natural gas, the biggest sources of heat-trapping pollution, fell from 72% of U.S. electricity in 2001 to just 58% in 2024.

The bonkers wellness myths that fueled Trump’s autism announcement Tylenol, folate deficiency, and other still-undetermined “environmental factors” were all to blame.

Say it with me, kids: There's no scientific or public health body besides RFK Kr.'s HHS stating using Tylenol while you're pregnant can give your children autism.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

Opinion | ‘No One Should Be Very Confident’: Four Economists Dissect Trump and the Economy

"Economists have done a very poor job updating their assumptions to a novel policy environment where the government is actively trying to raise prices (via tariffs) and reduce job growth (via immigration enforcement)..."

You issued a direct government threat to a private company to suspend/fire their employee or there would be consequences. You said that. You made that threat. It’s on tape. You violated the First Amendment. And your ass should be taken to court immediately.

ABC can pretty much fuck all the way off so can their parent company Disney

here's today's post: "ABC can pretty much fuck all the way off" — so can their parent company Disney.

It’s always good to pounce on government liars when they lie, so it’s been good posting about Patel lying.

But note where his lies led:

Brendan Carr’s FCC Power Play: How One Weak Man Threatens America’s Free Speech After Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks on the Charlie Kirk shooting, Carr used FCC leverage to pressure ABC—showing how quickly constitutional rights can be trampled.

When government intimidation and corporate cowardice meet, free speech dies. Boycott ABC and Disney until they stand up to Brendan Carr’s censorship.

A target of 62-70% will lead to well over 2°C of warming. This decision makes it clear that this government does not care about young people. We won’t stand by while they wreck our future.

Has anyone seen any evidence Kirk had a moral compass? I've been watching clips of Kirk since he died—clips posted by people on the left and clips posted by people on the right—and I can't detect anything I'd refer to as a moral compass.

He sounds like a used car salesman for Christian nationalism.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Bikes, pedestrians and the 15-minute city: How the pandemic is propelling urban revolutions In Europe, cycling caught on in a big way this year as COVID-19 discouraged cars and crowded public transit. Some cities’ leaders hope to make the habit permanent and make congestion a thing of the pa...

“European cities, like Paris, were smart to focus on air pollution rather than climate change. Air pollution is more real for people. You can see it, smell it. People liked what @annehidalgo.bsky.social did.” — My comments on leadership & urban transformation

To be clear, cities should do both.

This Epstein story does not benefit either political party. The truth benefits the victims.

Trump and the GOP Congress' agenda to Make America Smoggy Again is BACKFIRING.

Hawai‘i and Wisconsin just announced they're joining us and 10 other states to fight for affordable clean cars.

California continues to lead America into the future.

This week Trump wasn't trying to lower spiking energy costs or fix the damage he's done to the health care system. No, the White House was doing hand to hand political combat in the House of Representatives to keep the Epstein files private. Because its always just about him.

PBD podcast: Pam Bondi, you lied to us. You're the highest law enforcement. What, you think we're stupid? You guys are freaking lying. So, obviously, the people that are involved are still circling around like vultures going, 'don't do that.' It drives me bananas.

Yes, RFK Jr is a monster. A cruel, ignorant, pathologically dishonest, conspiratorial monster. And it’s not surprising RFK Jr is where he is now. A cruel, ignorant, pathologically dishonest, conspiratorial monster chose him, nominated him.

Vote in 2026 like your life depends upon it. Bcuz it does.

Consumers beware: “Trump wants them to pay higher electricity bills to protect the fossil fuel industry that poisons our air.” Yes, and — no coincidence — the industry funds him and fossil-fuel-funded Republican cronies.

Never mind the massive existing subsidy to fossil fuel of being allowed to pollute for free (per IMF: $700+ BILLION a year!). Fossil fuel lives on the government dole, and funds Republicans to protect its special-interest privileged polluting status.

The higher-priced units are virtually all fossil fuel units, shifting money from consumers’ pockets to Trump’s big crooked fossil fuel donors (also massive donors to Republican Party generally). So it’s political payback, at your expense.
