i am very certain that ditching gas is why my oldest didn't develop asthma after being pretty clearly pre-asthmatic

Sammy Roth@sammyroth.bsky.social

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

This should be a lightbulb moment for Democrats: You are free to run on this platform because Republicans are going to accuse you of it whether you do or not!

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

Another private equity victim: FIRE TRUCKS. PE has ripped off fire departments and overcharged for trucks and engines, putting our safety at risk. Today, I introduced bipartisan legislation that'll force the FTC to investigate this. Our fire fighters deserve better.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

We are *not* solving extreme poverty. But off-grid solar can be the silver bullet to change that! Because what do 95% of these people in extreme poverty have in common? They live in rural areas without grid access but with year round sunshine. aukehoekstra.substack.com/p/solving-ex...

I approach most World Cup matches with some sort of affection for each team, though I usually wind up rooting for the underdog. Not with Saudi Arabia though. The bone saw assassins can get royally fucked.

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

If you do not understand by now that this vile edifice has nothing to do with dancing and everything to do with the imposition of martial law in Washington, I don't know what to tell you except that it's time to put the Berenstain Bears books aside and start reading history books

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist.
