I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state.  We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service. To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.

A football-field-sized American flag and a red, white, and blue light display were unveiled at the Hoover Dam as part of celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary.

I was making potato soup last night. The recipe called for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

And another year thunderstorms appeared and we all had to wait another hour to pass and for the seats to be dried off and it was nerve wracking whether it was going to be canceled and moved. So that’s why I think it should be done differently with less people to account for space and time

lol I live in North Texas. Yes, I have seen this. And another high school that is huge with fireworks afterwards etc also my son graduated from. It can be smoothly run and still be a beating for people with young kids and students who would like to have more than the limited number of tickets for family.

This is Allen High School in Allen, Texas, just 25 miles outside of Dallas. Over 1,772 students were in the graduating class. 18,000 people were in attendance inside their football stadium. The graduation lasted almost 4 hours. 🥵 The enrollment at Allen HS is well over 5k students. 😳 Allen, Texas only has one high school. The school is huge. If you were passing it you would think it was a University. Many of the surrounding cities have one or two or more high schools, Allen has remained at one. They are a powerhouse in athletics, especially football. Their graduating class had more people than my entire high school had. 🤯 Have you ever seen a graduating class that big? Have you ever seen a high school football stadium that big? Anyone staying for 4 hours?

Who could’ve thought that plants like more CO2
Peter Clack@PeterDClack

International bureaucracies are retreating from their formerly 'iron-clad' fixation on immediate global climate collapse. As their worst-case computer models evaporate under the weight of real-world data, the goalposts are shifting. Realising they can no longer defend the rigid targets used to drive public anxiety, institutions like the IPCC are quietly pivoting to 'overshoot' mode to manage the damage. This retreat is happening because empirical data from NASA satellites is telling a vastly different story of planetary resilience. The Sahara Desert, of all places, has shrunk by roughly 8% since the 1980s. This isn't a computer model simulation, it's the visible reality captured by NASA’s AVHRR and MODIS satellite instruments. Satellite data reveals that 25% to 50% of Earth’s vegetated lands have shown significant greening. This is an expansion of biomass equivalent to twice the continental United States. Carbon dioxide fertilisation is responsible for roughly 70% of this growth. Higher atmospheric CO₂ is also allowing marginal plants to use water more efficiently. Leaf pores (stomata) don't need to stay open as long to take in carbon, drastically cutting water loss and boosting natural drought resistance. This biological efficiency is allowing vegetation to march back into the world’s most hostile environments. Green cover has been actively reclaiming the arid fringes of the Sahel (the Sahara’s southern edge), the Middle East and Australian Outback. An 8% reduction in the Sahara's desert expanse means over 700,000 square kilometres of formerly barren sand wastes have transitioned to green cover. With CO₂ now hovering around 430 ppm, nature is using this extra airborne fuel to thrive in regions once completely inhospitable. Centralised policy platforms remain focused on worst-case scenarios and economic penalties. But the biosphere is quietly demonstrating a profound, measurable benefit from higher CO₂. Earth is becoming greener and more water-efficient - where it matters most. No one expected this.

The Golden Girls, but with today’s hair and styling. From big 80s perms to sleek, fresh looks, Blanche is out here serving main character energy, Rose looks like your cool aunt who does Pilates, and Sophia and Dorothy still delivering one liners with the best of them. Do you think the comedy would still hit the same today?

I wish there were some way to put a good spin on the loss of Thomas Massie, a true Thomas Jefferson of our time. It's tragic. Something doesn't make sense.

The farmer is being too simplistic. If the grass rots, some of the carbon winds up in the soil and not in the atmosphere. Also, the carbon returning to the atmosphere does so locked up in molecules of carbon dioxide. However, if the grass is eaten by the cow, much of the carbon returning to the atmosphere does so tied up in molecules of methane, which traps heat 28 times more effectively than carbon dioxide.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

I was tasked by President Trump to protect land owners from egregious behavior, including eminent domain. I'm calling on @GeorgiaPower to connect me with CEO Kim Greene tomorrow. I've just received screen shots of your "condemnation threat" letters, and will be posting them on X.

Sorry, but this is absolutely INSANE. I’ve seen a few of these now. Share this and raise more awareness. Someone needs to help these people.

@Rainmaker1973 Wait until you see the amount of water a golf course uses. Data centers provide so much more economically. Also, think about all of the water @Rainmaker1973 uses when tweeting since he has to use a data center. If he really cared about the environment, he wouldn’t tweet .

META built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common.
