Few people I talk to know that the US passed a federal tax on greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. It would have penalized methane (a fast GHG and the main component of natural gas) leaked or vented from oil and natural gas systems.

That was exciting. let’s do it again tomorrow

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on Cal Raleigh’s contract.

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois. Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money. Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

There are zero commercial breaks without a gambling ad. Then you tell everyone that liberals are racists. MLB outdid themselves with the World Series commercials. Top notch viewing experience

Tuned into Bellevue's budget hearing in time to hear someone reference "the bike and ped activists from other cities" who want Bellevue to spend more money on street safety.

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

i'm only catching up to the obama discourse now but it's incredible to me that people on the right will negatively polarize themselves into the position that the decor at the cheesecake factory is normal

On a podcast a few days ago, anti-vax figure & RFK Jr. ally Sherri Tenpenny said she's in a Signal group that was "screaming at each other all week ... between the diehard [RFK Jr.] worshipers & the people that are saying, 'Well wait a minute, you know, look at the scorecard, what has been done?'"

Wayne Allyn Root, an election denial activist & podcaster, said he's the one who gave Trump his $1 million election bounty idea "word for word." It comes as Root has pushed for Trump to declare a national emergency, including during an interview with him. www.mediamatters.org/wayne-allyn-...

Katie Zacharia on Newsmax blames the media for her spectacular failure as press secretary 😆

Affidavit: even if the list the feds handed L.A. County provided a lawful basis to question a registrant’s eligibility, the registrant would still be entitled under state and federal law to notice and a chance to respond, which could not "be completed between now and the certification deadlines."

First, they are not windmills. They were wind turbines. Nothing is getting milled. But he's too stupid to know that. Second, his obsession is because he sued Scotland over wind turbines in the sea outside his golf course. And he lost. Third, plenty of countries harnessing wind power are solvent.

Trump: "Name me one country that has lots of windmills that is solveant. There are none."

NEW: I obtained the full Trumbull County file for Amy Acton's stepfather's 1974 charge which shows that he was indicted for incest involving his 16-year-old biological daughter in 1973./

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov scoffed at the Melania Trump-brokered ceasefire in Oleshky, dismissing it as a "complex political scheme" and admitting that Russia is playing its own political games. His weatherman concurred. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndVT...

All the places we expected them to spend the last week of this campaign at the start of this year.

Top Los Angeles federal prosecutor Bill Essayli has been disqualified by a federal judge, who found that he is unlawfully serving as a de facto US attorney.

The US government poured all its resources into fabricating evidence that day laborer Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a criminal (all because he embarrassed the despot) even as it now rolls out the red carpet for an actual criminal who happens to be an ally of Trump

1. Candace Owens conveniently leaves out that while a judge has ruled she is no longer personally a party to this case, her Delaware-registered companies, Candace Owens LLC and GeorgeTom Inc., remain defendants.

NEW: RFK Jr. falsely claimed that Arabs did not win global awards for science and “don’t produce literature" while stumping for Mike Rogers in Michigan. Comes as Trump and his allies step up anti-Muslim messaging in closing pitch-- www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

"The model that Bowen had used in the last years of her life, GPT-4o, was pulled off the consumer app Feb. 13, 2026, the day after the medical examiner believed Bowen died." This in absolutely no way absolves them of responsibility. See also: "I put that gun away years ago."

The families of the US service members killed in the Middle East will be happy to hear that the Trump Crime Family is making money off of their children's deaths.

Tim Scott on Hannity's show lies that El-Sayed's parents "funded Osama bin Laden"

I almost wish someone would nominate Melania for the Nobel Peace Prize just to watch Donnie first seethe then try and take credit for it.
