It swamps the White House... I know millions have been spent, but we're going to need the next administration to see past the sunk costs to the symbolism and tear it down. And yes, repairing all the damage to institutions, to our places, will take years.

Okay, my feed is full of newly elected, freshman Congressionals at the airport and on airplanes heading off to orientation with the biggest damn smiles on their faces and it's the best thing.

Jeffries: "We're committed to moving the first 100 days to keep our word ... to bring about accountability, because we've seen unprecedented corruption that's been visited upon the American people. And we are committed to holding the crooks accountable and making sure that Congress functions like a separate and co-equal branch of government."

The world's attention has been elsewhere. But crazy things have been happening to our climate—and to California's waters—this year. theatlantic.com/science/2026…

I do wish she was better at her job, but even with the stilted interviewing, Todd Blanche condemns himself. This man should not be in our government and should be disbarred.
here's is full footage of the crashout Attorney General Todd Blanche just had on CNN, including him confirming he'll investigate Democrats on Trump's demand and leaving the door open to trying to imprison them

Gonna keep sharing this until we send all the grifters packing....
A recent federal report found 91.3 million acres of public lands — an area nearly the size of Montana — could be used for data centers. The Trump official overseeing most federal lands has tens of millions invested in the AI industry. propublica.org/article/burgu…

👀 Nothing like being out and proud about your compromise.
This is insane! Trump just announced that he offered the press secretary job to Dana white and he wants two Russians to help out. Islam Makhachev is a Russian UFC fighter from Dagestan. Khabib Nurmagomedov is a Retired Russian UFC champion from Dagestan.

Seeing some of this here in the Pacific Northwest as well. We had a marginal winter last year, only a handful of days at freezing, dry, then a very dry summer, and now a mild fall. I have a pear flowering. | UK trees experience spring six months early theguardian.com/environment/…

This is a good thing. 🌿
Ok! It is not a scam. Bay leaves are the ‘missing’ flavor in a lot of dishes that don’t have them. It’s one those things that you notice when it isn’t there, but have trouble picking out. Bay is an essential background flavor. A deeply nerdy thread 🧵

I've been following Brad Lander since the NYC Mayoral election and because he's a good egg. Added a bunch more of the freshman class to my feeds now too.
Taking Amtrak down to DC for new member orientation!  Excited to meet the 100+ new members of the 120th Congress. Let me know who you think I should make sure to meet and get to work with.

The issues and the science around predators is complex and often highly localized. Everything from coyotes and racoons at the chicken coop, to loosing lambs and calves in the pasture and on the range to cougar, bear, and wolves. But these hunts are a crude and ugly response.
