Renamed the National Renewable Energy Lab.
Today, DOE renamed the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), one of the crown jewels of U.S. science and engineering for renewable energy, the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). We should be reinvesting in our world-leading national labs not renaming them. www.nrel.gov/news/detail/...

This is why military service members should refuse to follow illegal orders. Because when the shit hits the fan, Trunp and Hegseth will deny everything and blame you. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Reporter: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order 

Leavitt: The latter is true

Wind in your sails, Minnesota @ag.state.mn.us Keith Ellison!

They lied about the products they were selling us, and that is consumer fraud.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Has anyone written the hardcore business story: Target shit the bed on its values and customers and wrecked the business?
What an epic fuck-up. Alienating your core customer is a bad business idea.
Target said it doesn’t think holiday sales will be enough to turn around a tough year.

These things are always hard to measure, but the Copenhagenize Index ranks Montreal as the 15th most bike-friendly city in the world.

Top 5 in North America:
1. Montreal
2. Quebec City
3. Vancouver
4. Portland
5. Minneapolis

I worry we’ll fall in the next few years though!

To all the weirdos defending Megyn Kelly: 15 year olds are underage, and that is statutory rape.

Pretty simple
November 14, 2025 at 3:27 AM
Actually barely illegal, Megyn, but that is beside the point, you sicko.

Would you shrug if this were your 15 year old daughter raped by dirty old men?
@timmiller.bsky.social torches Megyn Kelly as she spins Epstein’s abuse of 15-year-old girls as “barely legal” types to protect Donald Trump.
