Yesterday a vile attention seeking bottom feeder, reduced the political conversation to parading pornographic images in a televised hearing on the House floor, with the explicit intent of embarrassing the President of the United States to procure campaign funding for herself from vulnerable voters. Voters who have been systematically programmed to donate at every instance of manufactured moral outrage. If Republicans think in their deluded tiny infantile minds, this is what Americans pay their hard earned taxes for, they need to seek help. Hunter Biden is a recovering drug addict who broke the law and pleaded guilty to those offences. He, like many addicts embarrassed himself and his family, just as many before him and many that follow will. I for one have no intention of defending the indefensible, but this taxpayer funded political feeding frenzy on the remains of his reputation is beyond reprehensible. In reality, Republicans could not give a damn about Hunter Biden, their sole objective is to taint a father with the alleged crimes of his son, and this marks a new low in their relentless quest for power. This whole circus is being orchestrated by a failed soon to be further indicted sexual predator, who is hellbent on destroying his political enemies, and might I add, the Republican Party, if it gets in his way to become king of America. They can’t win on the economic recovery, they can’t win on improving the lives of hard working Americans, so they want to create a toxic environment of mistrust and promote societal division to allow a monster back into power. They even wrapped a red bow around events, with Byron Donalds, a former drug distributor and fraudster, deliberately and falsely suggesting that this was the kind of content found in schools. Like every good father who finds himself in this situation, the president will support his son while not condoning his actions. I fear Republicans will live to regret their unconscionable actions in 2024. #DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46

Such sad news. If there was muni news in Chicago, Yvette always had it first and got it right. I know the @TheBondBuyer's extended family, which I'm a part of, is hurting. Deepest condolences.
Yvette Shields, longtime Bond Buyer reporter who spent decades building a stellar career as one of Chicago's finest and well-known financial reporters with a national reputation in the public finance industry, died unexpectedly this week. She was 57. bondbuyer.com/news/longtime-…

For two days now, activist Droplet has called a Red Cedar in Seattle’s Wedgwood area home. How long will Droplet stay in the tree? β€œAs long as it takes.” komonews.com/news/local/seat…

Meet β€˜Droplet’ who climbed up the red cedar tree in Seattle’s Wedgwood neighborhood, as it was set to be cut down today. Droplet tells me he’s working with others, will not come down until there’s β€œbinding protections that will prevent this tree from being cut.” @KIRO7Seattle

Catastrophic floods in the Hudson Valley. An unrelenting heat dome over Phoenix. Ocean temperatures hitting 90 degrees Fahrenheit off Miami's coast. A deluge in Vermont. These events are happening simultaneously as climate change fuels extreme weather. nyti.ms/3rn9ZG4

β€œWe have never seen anything like this before.” On Monday came Earth’s hottest day in at least 125,000 years. Tuesday was hotter. A remarkable spate of historic heat is hitting the planet, raising alarm over looming extreme weather dangers β€” and an increasing likelihood this year will be Earth’s warmest on record. wapo.st/3JQcB5B

Good grief. Every second of this response is incredible. From January 6th, to the absurdity of Ron DeSantis and others who feign ignorance, to the personal connection with a young NH voter. A masterclass in clarity. Watch out.

News Media acts so nonchalantly about the fact that a gigantic swath of boreal forestland in North America is on fire right now, with smoke choking out cities hundreds of miles away. THESE FORESTS ARENT SUPPOSED TO BURN. We are the next mass extinction event.
