As an anti-coal activist 50 years ago, it makes me sad that this still has to happen.

I was thinking of the Caesar/horse thing seeing Melania chair the UN Security Council.

Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe City officials expect to reach a β€œwater emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic dis...

β€œI’m sure that someone somewhere is working on that." Says the architect of an unfinished desalination project in Corpus Christi, as the city and its chemical plants face a freshwater emergency which could lead to no jet fuel in Texas and evacuation of the city.

I don't know about now, but Judy Woodruff loved to interview the guy.

Maybe PBS Newshour should have him on, like they always used to.

And this is the BS we're expected to pay out the wazoo for to power their data centers? What a scam.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Are the 'missing 53 pages' about to become Nixon's 18 1/2 minute gap? It sure looks that way...

Elmer. Now there's a good old-fashioned name for ya! Named after my dad. Had Aunts Esther and Leona.

I was excited to have a kayaking teacher once named Elmar - I he was Norwegian?

Interesting that this 'Political HQ' is also on bluesky with very few posts, and not this one.

I'm highly skeptical of the source of this, 'unnamed Dems'. Here in Colorado, mid-term gerrymandering is quite unpopular and very unlikely to happen.

Fake news?

And because Congress refuses to use the CRA to overturn it.

Please use the CRA to overturn this rule!

Please, please, please - you and your Congressional colleagues - use the CRA to overturn this rule. If Congress can do it for BLM land use plans, it can do it for this.

Never been as sick in my life as after a day sitting in an open train car directly behind the steam engine on the Cumbres Toltec Railroad between Antonito, Colorado and Chama, New Mexico.

Idea - give POTUS a free train ride there. It would kill him for sure, breathing in all that coal smoke.

If Democrats retake the House and Senate, they will come face-to-face with the very real possibility of having to remove Trump’s entire cabinet.

There is no historical precedent for this-this is the real Trump effect: total and absolute corruption of power…

Baseball - I paid homage to Roberto Clemente Stadium in Carolina a few years. The Great One. Felt privileged even then to watch him play right field in the late, great Forbes Field as a member of the 'Knothole Gang' - cheap tickets for kids in the early '60's.
