The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

Schiff on the SAVE Act: "Jonathan, what you've just asked is essentially, Republicans have created distrust in the elections by making claims of nonexistent fraud, and shouldn't we use the distrust they've created in order to enact a voter suppression law?"

Republicans want to increase the defense budget to $1.5 trillion in 2027. That defense budget alone would add an additional $5.8 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.

It’s insane that the Trump admin wants to double the already massive US military budget in just 2 years when we are not at war. Trump’s DOD budgets are a cesspool of corruption and grift for the military industrial complex, scammers and grifters, including Donald Trump, Jr.

We’ve been under-reacting for more than 20 years. Circa 9/11 was when I really noticed journalistic timidity taking hold. Journalism became uncomfortable critiquing the rising tide of white theocratic nationalism disguised as patriotism as oligarchs bought their media outlets out from under them.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

My first town hall this year was in Walden, one of the most conservative towns in Colorado.
I found my proposal — to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists & strengthen bribery laws —resonated there as much as everywhere else.
Grateful to chat w/Heather Cox Richardson on the road ahead.

Well, we certainly missed that bus.
I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better.
Now look where we are.

If ICE gets even one of these facilities fully up and running, it’ll immediately be the second-largest jail in the country behind only Rikers Island.
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.
