Any atheists with empathy are better aligned with sincere Christian values than Mike Johnson is.

Thune needs to explain what the rest of the heath care premium increases are attributable to if not due to expiration of enhanced tax credits. He also needs to outline details of a replacement Republican plan proposal if any.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 1h

Increase a little bit? Who is he talking to??

Health care premiums are set to increase in Leader Thune's home state of South Dakota by TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE PERCENT (235%!!!) next year.

THUNE: These premiums are going up a little bit b/c of the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

VITALI: I think people hearing their premiums are doubling don't feel that it's a little bit

T: I'm just saying only a small part of that is attributable to the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

Remnants of Typhoon Halong with high winds slammed into Alaska from the Seward Peninsula to the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta causing extensive flooding in low-lying villages including knocking houses off their foundations. Occurrence just before winter freeze up makes this particularly devastating.

With the latest budget cuts to polar science, we’re not necessarily losing the raw data - but we are losing its translation...

The stories behind the numbers, the context for decision-making, and the communication of the Arctic and Antarctic’s far-reaching impacts throughout the year.

Sad to take out old growth White House trees for a grotesque oversized ballroom that dwarfs the rest of the property..

The trump administration is playing a new monopoly game with rules made up as they go. Right now they are paying Community Chest assessments with Chance cards.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

As usual, the most basic physical metrics of accurate height and weight are missing.

Hard to imagine the Nobel Committee giving any Peace Prize consideration to a corrupt person suppressing democracy, human rights, health care, education and environmental protection in his own country no matter what he takes credit for in other countries.

Don’t obey in advance.

On the other hand, trump certainly liked this pic from an underneath angle.

Look at what trump is doing to the country he “leads” before considering nominating him for an award for what he is doing in regard to other countries. The U.S. is a hot mess.

Republicans used the same strategy after the dust settled from the January 6th insurrection. Denying what your lying eyes can see.

I’m already avoiding CBS and Paramount. If Ellison manages to buy out Warner Bros/Discovery or even just HBO I will avoid that too at the cost of a significant portion of streaming services I subscribe to and watch.

Participating in a NoKings event shows that you do not obey in advance to an authoritarian.
