Tonight, we’re sitting down with Emmy-nominated writer Thomas Quinn to talk about his bold (and surprisingly funny) book "God: The Unauthorized Biography." Nothing is off-limits, such as the question: "If God were your best friend… would you stage an intervention?" tinyurl.com/trquinn

Artemis II sent a pic of the beautiful garden planet we are too greedy, lazy, short-sighted, and ungrateful not to destroy:

Americans are getting exactly what they knowingly voted for two times.

Colorado River flows drop to crisis levels. New March 2026 forecasts show the Colorado River may deliver only about one-third of normal flow to Lake Powell this year. A warm winter and low snowpack are already pushing Lake Mead projections lower. www.western-water.com/2026/03/20/c...

Western heat wave may push temps 30° above normal, and it's only March. www.western-water.com/2026/03/13/w...

The trump regime spent about $5.6 billion in munitions in the first two days of its illegal war, but the $5 billion price tag for Navajo-Hopi water rights is too much to ask. www.western-water.com/2026/03/13/5...

California water managers are seeing a troubling pattern. The Sierra Nevada snowpack is about half of average, and 20% had already melted by March 1, 2026 due to warm temperatures. Early runoff is flowing now, but it may leave less water for summer. www.western-water.com/2026/03/12/c...

Low snowpack across much of the West is raising concerns heading into spring. Parts of the Colorado River Basin remain in drought. www.western-water.com/2026/03/07/l...

💧 Small towns across the U.S. often struggle to maintain drinking water and wastewater systems. On March 4, 2026, EPA announced RealWaterTA, a new initiative focused on practical help. The goal: stronger water systems in rural communities. www.western-water.com/2026/03/06/r...

The proposed 2026 Farm Bill includes new provisions affecting rural water systems, wells, and wastewater infrastructure. These programs could impact communities across the Colorado River Basin, where drought and water limits remain major concerns. www.western-water.com/2026/03/05/2... #FarmBill

If you live in Arizona and care about the state's water supply, a coalition to protect our Colorado River allocation has a template to submit comments to the Bureau of Reclamation by the March 2 deadline. Background and more info here: www.western-water.com/2026/02/20/a...

Water systems worldwide are no longer recoverable. www.western-water.com/2026/01/23/u...

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

DST does not save energy. “Arizona would consume more energy if it implemented Daylight Saving Time.” #DitchDST!

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The largest solar project in Nevada has been canceled amidst the Trump administration's federal permitting freeze. It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power. heatmap.news/sparks/esmer...

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Alarming drought outlook threatens the West, so much so that by December 2026, Lake Powell’s levels could dip so low that hydropower generation may no longer be possible. www.western-water.com/2025/09/08/a...

Lora Webb Nichols’s photographs of boom and bust in her small Wyoming town might be the largest photographic record of the era and region.

Paul Campos walks through the 25th Amendment and concludes it’s toothless if Trump becomes too impaired. The GOP’s cult loyalty makes removal impossible, even if he can’t function. Democracy has no guardrails for “Demented Grandpa” presidency. buff.ly/KwAkmLD
