It's kind of uncertain whether Johnson will ever convene the House again
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

How the US cut climate-changing emissions while its economy more than doubled
A fast drop in coal use played a big role, but there was more, as these charts show.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Proportional representation is popular!
48% yes, 19% no, 32% don't know for proportional representation. That's with very little public campaign for PR so far.
Tracks similar results we found a couple of years ago polling various reforms in Wyoming. It's not some wonky thing only nerds get. The concept is intuitive and naturally popular.

Wow! That's a lot higher support level than I expected. And that 32%"don't know" means there's a high ceiling

Canadian dollar steadies as US labor data signals weakness
