In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter. I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

California is proof you don’t have to choose between a strong economy and clean energy. The world’s 4th largest economy has run on clean power 9 out of 10 days, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions 21% and growing 81%.

2/17/26 8:55am Update: It. Is. Dumping. We had 28.1" (71.5 cm) of #snow in the last day and we're expecting another 2-3 feet by tomorrow night. Anecdotally, the combination of low visibility, intense snowfall, and high winds have created the worst conditions since Feb 2023!

A perfect comedy minute. youtube.com/watch?v=jVojhv…

California just teamed up with Nigeria on a new climate partnership at #COP30 — focused on cleaner transportation, climate adaptation, and cutting pollution. Real action, global collaboration!

NYC vibe report: there are AI ads everywhere (yudkowsky on the C train, what a world!) but obvious adoption lags (no waymos, people still google things) and a vaguely european revanchism is setting in. cultural production has shifted west. (food still rules.)

@GovPressOffice @StephenM Perfection. @GovPressOffice is on fire!

Congrats, @StephenM!

We are not asking you to revise your public land heist @SenMikeLee We the People, are saying retire it. Give it up. The only acceptable action by you is to listen to your constituents and your colleagues who are saying, "Not one acre." Not one.

That's right. #roadlessrule theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Housing prices are crushing families and keeping young Americans from living where they grew up. We need to change that. Thanks to YOU—the AMERICAN PEOPLE—here’s what I plan to do: 1. REMOVE ALL Forest Service land. We are NOT selling off our forests. 2. SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE the amount of BLM land in the bill. Only land WITHIN 5 MILES of population centers is eligible. 3. Establish FREEDOM ZONES to ensure these lands benefit AMERICAN FAMILIES. 4. PROTECT our farmers, ranchers, and recreational users. They come first. Yes, the Byrd Rule limits what can go in the reconciliation bill, but I’m doing everything I can to support President Trump and move this forward. Stay tuned. We’re just getting started.
