Please be patient for a few minutes as the thousands of Strait of Hormuz Twitter experts are making the shift over to the Voting Rights Act. They will be with you momentarily....

Grace Curley@G_CURLEY·
Rosa DeLauro is 83 years old and is one of the longest-serving Democrats in the House of Representatives. She has represented Connecticut’s 3rd Congressional District since 1991. So why, with all of her experience, would she show up to a hearing so woefully unprepared? bostonherald.com/2026/04/29/gra…

@TerryMoran That was a different time. Jim Crow is long gone. Plus, it is unconstitutional.

Terry Moran 🇺🇸@TerryMoran·
The Voting Rights Act is one of the greatest achievements of American Democracy. Passed by Congress after passionate debates and hard compromises, signed into law by President Johnson, the VRA dismantled Jim Crow, and broke the machinery of voter suppression overnight. It transformed American politics, accomplished the will of the American people. Now, in yet another act of arrogant judicial supremacy, the Trump Court has gutted it.

All the action and reason to go to the city was on the North Side. Why would downtown joints think there would be massive spillover. Besides, it was a three-day event. Any busy restaurant or bar that mistakenly over bought should be able to go through most of that inventory rather quickly, no?

“You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it’s a hoax.” I am not comfortable with a sitting member of Congress starting a sentence with “you do not have the right to say.”
Lee Zeldin@epaleezeldin

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

It's nearly impossible to reach the Sun because you inherit the Earth's inertia when you leave Earth. This means you're going at least as fast as the Earth's orbital velocity, which is 67,000 miles per hour (108,000 kilometers per hour), so you need to slow down. In the frictionless vacuum of space, it takes just as much energy to decelerate as it does to accelerate, so it takes the same amount of fuel to go from 67,000 MPH to zero as it does to go from zero to 67,000. NASA managed to get the Parker Solar Probe to the Sun by using using gravity from Venus to "tug" it in the direction opposite of Earth's orbit to slow it down. It took seven passes by Venus to accomplish this, orbiting the Sun 24 times. The whole process took seven years. It still didn't really reach the Sun, but now has a highly irregular orbit in which it passes close (in astronomical terms), and the Sun's gravity accelerates it so much that it gets flung back out to the orbital distance of Venus by the slingshot effect before returning. During those close passes, it becomes the fastest man-made object ever made, reaching speeds of 430,000 MPH (692,000 KPH).

Most people don't understand that the Sun is the hardest place to get to in the Solar System.

Billie Eilish says after doing a little bit of research she was really scared of climate change. Well I’ve done a little bit of research and what I found was quite the opposite!

Our thin-skinned president hates comedy because he is afraid of it; he loathes and fears being laughed at. Which is why he is so obsessed with shutting down the truth-telling jesters of his reign. charliesykes.substack.com/p/anne-appleba…
