An overwhelming majority of Earth’s land surface is much warmer than average. Clearly El Niño is strongly contributing to rising global temperatures. Antarctica is doing its own thing this July temperatures have been regularly dipping below -70C at South Pole station the 🥶 is staying bottled up.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.

DFL Senate Caucus blew $41k on protecting Ron Latz in a safe DFL seat -- 32% of their total candidate spending so far this year -- more than triple what they spent in actual swing districts to protect candidates Grant Hauschild and Eric Putnam that we actually need to maintain a majority.

They're screaming the quiet part out loud. A Trump regime scheme to shift a whopping $200 billion into AI projects and away from traditional university research isn't just because it wants smarter computers American fascism also requires dumber people My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Following GOP-backed legislation which opened 22,000 acres of state parks and wildlife areas to oil and gas companies since 2024, Trump announces a fracking lease sale scheduled for Sept. 15 of 41 parcels of land in the Wayne National Forest totaling 2,840 acres. apnews.com/article/ohio...

“Distribution for the L.A. Regional Food Bank for 2026 is at 2025 levels, which for us is a little remarkable, because in the first half of 2025 we had the L.A. wildfires, which led to a huge increase in demand for food assistance,” said Michael Flood, the CEO of Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

The problem is that he has at least two highly competent, malevolent psychopaths who have free rein to do horrific things on to-do lists they honed over years.
