Ohio Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted can't leave Washington, D.C., to testify in the largest public corruption trial in Ohio history due to the "Iran war," the defense attorneys said, but did find time to return to the state to attend a fundraiser. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/09/h...
It was never a passive, leaky pipeline. It's an active, disgusting clog of misogyny.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Heartbreaking.
NSF has put out a “Dear Colleague Letter” asking how to dismantle NCAR, the premier public atmospheric sciences center in the US. We must reject the premise. As a dedicated center bringing together scientists across disciplines and across the world, NCAR science has saved lives for over 65 years.

Oh! “A federal judge on Friday ruled the Energy Department violated the law when Secretary Chris Wright handpicked five researchers who reject the scientific consensus on climate change to work in secret on a sweeping government report on global warming.”
Fold in the cheese meme: "what does create resilient communities mean" "you make them resilient" "here's what you do, you just make it resilient" "If you say resilient one more time..." "It says make them resilient" "you make them resilient then!"
This scene will never not be funny.
Let’s all raise a glass of Herb Ertlinger’s fruit wine.
Just so we are clear. Haitians are currently in the United States legally.

This is a pretty neat tool that helps folks prepare and understand what to do if (when) the power goes out.
