SCOOP from me:

I uncovered that the Interior Department just quietly defunded *two* multimillion dollar research programs studying how whales move and behave near U.S. wind farms actively being built.

Trump blames wind turbines for whale deaths, then cuts vital research on the topic. 🧵

I’m so sorry! ❤️ 🐾
We just lost one of our old kitties, Oscar Kittyman. They are such special friends and family members. (His littermate has since become increasingly affectionate - her name is coincidentally also Phoebe.)

I’ve been rather offline and missed the Nazi tattoo discourse, so I’ve got that going for me.

As an aside, as a Druid, I get really salty about the fact that I can pretty much never tattoo symbols of my beliefs on my body because some skinhead likely has or will appropriate them.

Coworker (who doesn’t drink): C, I’ve been told to order drinks for the company party. What do you drink?

Me: Right now? Hemlock.

This is crucial and it's conceptually emblematic of how the media is failing us by not connecting the dots. This is true with HHS, voting rights, the economy, the environment and all of the vulnerable groups the magas are attacking.

We are shown the tiles 24/7 but we are not shown the mosaic.

It’s easy to lose sight of how radical the MAGA agenda is by focusing on each action in isolation. Only by glancing at the entirety of what Trump and Hegseth have wrought can one see what a far-reaching assault they are mounting on the apolitical professionalism of the US military. bit.ly/47aHw7J

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

Columbus was not a monster by our standards; he was seen as a monster in his own day, investigated for crimes against people he ruled in the Indies - and stripped of power because of those abuses.
