Democrats should take it as a personal insult that this man has the gall to run for governor of our largest state while knowing what he did.

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism

The joyful, wonder-filled Artemis scenes contrast with our nation's leaders, people who have ascended to the pinnacles of power & wealth—and yet couldn’t day-to-day be more miserable, a fact that they all collectively broadcast with every fiber of their being. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-joy-of-joy

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

2. Many studies have shown that it’s normal to fear change to an unusual degree when it’s first proposed (see status quo bias) even when change is constant, & to weigh potential loss more heavily than we value potential gain. So #NIMBY likely can’t be avoided. Change will always be hard everywhere.

I will waste no time reminding everyone that the President has again proposed an extinction-level budget for NASA.

47% cut to science.

And even though Congress sets budgets, NASA will---like last year---start planning as though this were the real budget.

Stupid. Pointless. Destructive. Insulting.

The #Artemis II livestream continues to be the best thing on the internet. 😍

The return-to-Earth live coverage begins at 6:30pm Eastern (in about 90 minutes) with splashdown in the Pacific scheduled for 8:07pm Eastern.

We can never unsee the genocidal monster Trump revealed yesterday. Even worse, we are likely to see more of him going forward. My latest.

NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal.

Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.

New reporting reveals Trump plans to use $15 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities to pay for an arch named after himself in Washington, DC.

This is the same Humanities Endowment funding that DOGE cut from any project that mentioned DEI.

People on the right as far gone as MTG, Tucker Carlson, and Alex Jones have called on him to be impeached (or A25). The idea there are no gettable R votes is just smug self-fullfiling doomerism

This is a far simpler answer than people would like to believe.

Trump issues the order via the National Military Command Center to the commander of Strategic Command, and then STRATCOM carries it out directly. There is no second vote, no veto, no check-and-balance.

We have the constitutional tools to stop [waves arms wildly] this gangster nonsense. The people who carry the tools in their toolboxes, the Cabinet and the Congress, lack moral courage and are drunk on piss ant power. We turned our backs on the Greatest Generation. They weep beneath their headstones
