It’s about time the media is starting to report on Trump’s cognitive decline.

If he can’t stay awake during his felony trial, how are we supposed to trust him to handle a national security crisis?

-Harris HQ:

Reporter: is sleeping in court. It is 100 percent true. I’ve seen it. People around him have confirmed to me that he has been sleeping

Joyce Vance: “This is a five-alarm fire. We know what the reaction would be if Joe tweeted a photo of a bound and gagged Donald in the trunk of an electric car. Why does Donald Trump get more leeway, especially with his past history? He only continues to get it because our institutions—the courts, the Republican party—let him take it.”

The story of how fossil fuel interests - OPEC, the United States, and fossil fuel lobbyists - deliberately and aggressively acted to sabotage the decision making process at the UN COP climate conferences, and slowed down global climate action.

that concerted climate action will threaten their polluting business model, and they worked to sabotage it, since before COP1.

    News of money previously given to Speaker Mike 's congressional campaign by nationals has re-emerged after the rejected a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed in the Senate.

    In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the -based American Ethane company.

    Scientists have to reset their superlatives. A quasar known as J0529-4351 is the most luminous single object in the known universe, emitting as much energy as 500 trillion suns.

    It's powered by a supermassive black hole that swallows 300,000 Earth masses of gas every day.

    Dear journalists who remain on Twitter:

    You actively participate on a site operated by an extremist right-winger who promotes other extremists who want, among other things, to end democracy. The end of democracy means, in case you haven't grasped this yet, the end of freedom of expression.

    This means you are actively supporting his business -- and you're doing it for free.

    Please grow a spine, and stop helping the people who hate you and want to destroy what you do.

    ~100 more Starlink v1 satellites will be burning up in the upper atmosphere in the next 6 months, bringing up the total number of de-orbited Starlink satellites to ~500 out of 6000 launched
    https://api.starlink.com/public-files/Commitment%20to%20Space%20Sustainability.pdf

    De-orbiting satellites by burning them up did work when the volume of satellites was small, but already 10% of aerosol particules in the stratosphere contain aluminum/other metals.
    The problem is only going to get worse with the launch of megaconstellations https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2313374120

    A beautiful wren nested on my balcony last summer in Montana. She flew into the house, knocked herself out against a picture window, and played dead. She surprised me when she jumped as I cupped her in my hands. She was so light as to barely be there. I carefully placed her on a chair near her nest, to which she returned. She took up bringing insects to her fledgling, who soon flew away. She returned several times, as did the male. I felt so privileged to have such a visit!

    This story about Elmo spreading democracy-threatening election misinfo on Twitter is precisely why everyone needs to treat that platform like the pariah it is. No, you sticking around to counter the misinfo won't help. That's like raking leaves in a wind storm. And yes, I know there's community there, but mingling there does you and all of us more harm than good.

    The most effective thing you can do is stop giving Twitter oxygen and allowing it to become just another fringe outlet, like 4chan or Daily Caller. With the very real prospect Trump will retake the White House, this stuff matters.
