When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Guys. The Democrat got the highest votes in Pocatello’s mayoral race last night. We are looking at a runoff in December since no one hit 50% (five candidates ran) but that’s never happened in our almost-12 years here.

but we’ve only broken a 15+ point margin a handful of times, and none of them were at the congressional level.
But what we did was take a 21 point margin and turn it into a 9 point one. That’s a really big deal.
That is a signal that no R seat where the R won by less than 12 points is safe.
