Endless wars and billionaire tax cuts, or universal health care and banning billionaires buying elections? The field is set.
Graham Platner on Susan Collins: Her attempt to thread this needle where she is pro-Trump enough to try to appease his loyalists, but also anti-Trump enough to try to trick everybody else into supporting her—that doesn't work now. She's going to run up to the finite end of that kind of politics
Would you support a united federal Europe? 🇪🇺 Yes or No? 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Is packing the Supreme Court ideal? No but the conservative majority has refused all offers to rule in a nonpartisan manner. If they're gonna keep making partisan decisions then there need to be consequences. Their job is not to advance Republican policy from the bench.
Maine, let’s send an oyster farmer to the U.S. Senate—and kick out Susan Collins.
Susan Collins put Alito, Roberts, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh on the bench.
You are a liar, @ChrisGloninger. I have never once claimed that climate change isn't real. Not once. I agree that greenhouse gases cause some warming in the lower atmosphere. I have always held that position, and I have discussed it HUNDREDS of times on here. Do I need to bring the receipts to prove it to ya? Where I am in disagreement with you is in it being an existential crisis or urgent problem. But something tells me you already know that and are intentionally lying for clout. Let me make something clear to you, son. If you slander me again, you and I are going to have some serious problems. Dr. Christy and I know each other. We live in the same town. The Monday after this paper was published, I stopped by his office, and he said I should share this paper to social media. Christy also then gave me the USHCN dataset that he had used to compute the results for his paper (the dataset contains 1,211 of the 1,218 USHCN stations with near-complete daily data, the gaps in which he filled in himself by hand using the original paper forms at NOAA NCEI and threading closed stations with open adjacent stations that still have data, where he bias-corrected values for quality control). I used a different approach and validated his results almost to a T (see image on the left). The purpose of Christy's paper was to discuss long-term trends in heat and cold extremes in the U.S. It was not an attempt to debunk global warming. No one ever claimed it was, myself included. I have never attempted to debunk it because I agree with global warming theory, at least in principle. As I said, I have been over this hundreds of times. Based on the results, increases in heat extremes do not show up in the national average. Significant increases are exclusively confined to the Four Corners and Pacific Southwest regions. Almost every other region show modest decreases, with the Southeast and Ohio River Valleys at near record lows recently. I find it odd that you'd accuse Dr. Christy and I of "cherry-picking" U.S. data that represents 1.5% of the global land surface, when you decided to cherry-pick an even smaller area to illustrate a moot point. I also find it odd that you'd accuse us of cherry-picking considering you just posted a lame video about the ongoing U.S. drought and tried tying it to GLOBAL climate change. Evidently, you don't believe your own BS or follow your own rules. Increases in heat extremes in the Pacific Southwest and Four Corners are not matched anywhere else in the Lower 48. If greenhouse gases are causing the increase in those two areas, why not the rest of the nation? Dr. Christy and I have hypothesized that this is an artifact of urbanization, land use change, and poor station siting, and we may decide to test this using NASA Landsat data. Dr. Roy Spencer has already been working on this in small increments. Next time you take a swing at me, you better not miss.
America's major cities are virtually all blue, many of them deep blue. But the homicide rate is falling — indeed, often plummeting — in almost all of them.
People bring up Hortman, but the shooter was a Walz appointee who claimed Walz wanted Hortman dead. He was nuts. Even if you assume he is rightwing, you still have disproportionately more assassination attempts by progressive radicals.
