We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.

NEW | California just reached a world-first solar milestone Over HALF (51%) of electricity generation across the whole month of May came from solar power. Battery storage is the big difference maker, enabling California to push the share of solar generation to this level.

America and Iran have been here before. The vague language of their so-called memorandum of understanding failed to resolve any of their underlying issues—and there is little reason to hope a new deal will do the job bit.ly/4wEnWvO Photo: Getty Images

There is no longer any choice. We have to see a full UEFA withdrawal from FIFA. Private investment has absolutely no place in an organising body which has a moral duty to both remain neutral and be fully accountable. Infantino is a blight on the game and completely unfit for the role.

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

When I head to Washington, I will be the first woman in Congress with a science PhD. That matters. At a time when science is under attack, Congress needs more leaders who understand the value of evidence-based decision-making.

The world spends 55 TIMES MORE on weapons than on saving lives. This is not an accident. This is a choice made by governments. Children in war zones—facing displacement, malnutrition, and violence—should not be paying the consequences of wars they didn’t start.

In occupied Crimea, drivers are literally pushing their cars to the gas station in hopes of getting fuel. Except, there is no fuel. ​Fascinating. Getting real Flintstones vibes from this.

The "special military operation" is going according to plan. In Sevastopol, Russians are running out of gas while waiting in line at gas stations, forcing them to push their cars for kilometers to reach the fuel pump.

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

theguardian.comThe era of trillionaires will be dire for democracy. Here is how we can fight back | Gabriel ZucmanThere is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy. That’s because extreme wealth is always an extreme power

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

4th time I’ve seen this idiot on @CNN in 60 hours. I counted “ as I say in my book” 14 times across this appearances. It’s just so ridiculous how broken we are as a country, and how there are folks on the air 24 hours a day happily chipping away for a buck.

Maybe instead of renaming the “Department of Defense” the “Department of War” Pete should have more accurately called it the “Department of Expensive Humiliation”

Imagine if each municipality & city committed to building solar & wind to supply their own electricity. The economic benefits would be enormous for citizens & the dependence on big oil reduced significantly. The federal government definitely doesn’t want it because they lose control & money. ☀️ 🌬️

Since the administration has renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War, when will they rename the Department of Justice the Department of Revenge?

I love living in Kansas City, but Missouri makes it tough each day. Reading to our young kids is essential for their development. There are currently 169,000 Missouri kids in the program, which sent out half a million books in the first three months of the year. Most won’t get new books.

60 Minutes spent half a century building the most sterling reputation in broadcast television. It took Bari Weiss about six months to destroy it. Don't let the Ellisons unleash her on CNN and HBO.

Besides officially firing Sharyn Alfonsi and replacing 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon with ex-NY Times columnist Nick Bilton, CBS News has also fired 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega.

Today's 60 Minutes bloodbath proves @karaswisher.bsky.social's point. It'd be bad enough if the Ellisons were undermining journalism for money, but there’s no business case for tanking their most successful show. That’s why FPF is exercising its shareholder remedies.

freedom.pressPress groups demand records on potentially corrupt Paramount acquisitionsFPF and Reporters Without Borders are demanding answers from Paramount Skydance Corp. on its widely reported corrupt deals with the Trump administration

The Paramount & Warner Bros. merger doesn’t make business sense because it isn’t about business — it’s about building corporate influence over the media that bends to the government. That's a threat to journalistic independence and the free press. Watch @karaswisher.bsky.social explain.

KELLOGG: Ukrainians fought brilliantly, lost only 1% of land since 2014. You’ve got to give them full credit for what they’ve done. Russians not winning this war, they’re losing. Putin faces huge economic problems, suffered 1.2 to 1.4 million casualties, not going to get Donbas.

Trump now claims it’s unconstitutional for Congress to authorize war — which is an odd position for someone who literally swore an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution,” while Article I gives Congress the power to declare war.

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

I still hear media refer to “the shooting” at the WHCD, which seems misleading if the only shots fired were from the cops and Secret Service.

Scott MacFarlane reports on the deepening political crisis for Republicans as gas prices continue to skyrocket amid the Iran war. Some Republicans in Congress call high costs the "price tag of democracy," but the American public seems to be losing patience.
