A house painter once said to me that H. sapiens is the only species on the planet that does not have a purpose. We get to choose. Let's find our purpose by working with, not against, nature.

Aside from providing places for species to live, natural spaces generate economic activity and benefit people. We're just as dependent on the web of life as these plants and animals that are disappearing are. This is really the worst attack on the #ESA we've ever seen โ€” so we're in court.

Dรญa de los Muertos for Pets Sweet Marco, we remember you. ๐Ÿ’™ We adopted Marco from the Camarillo Animal Shelter. He had been abandoned twice when I fostered, then adopted him. Cuddled beside the humans in bed. Often quiet, but occasionally, launched into monologues. Liked bites of mango and apple.

Loki told his person to tell Bluesky folks that she had a partial knee replacement this morning. Aside from lots of exercises; icing and frequent short walks with a walker she does not have much to do. Painkillers help e.g., watching General Bone Spurs, aka the Wicked Warlock of the East, melt.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

Trump takes money from polluters to exempt them from EPA emission rules and appoints lobbyists from industry to regulate themselves. The corruption here is staggering. POTUS is taking money to poison Americans and arguing national security to do it.

Last night, in the Golf Course case, Judge Reyes refused to extend her TRO, which expires Monday. I assume that means she'll grant a preliminary injunction before then. She also ordered Dept of Int dep chief of staff Wischerโ€”go-to guy for Trump's vanity projectsโ€”not to delete stuff from his phone.

I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

Politicians use their office to get rich. Those days have got to end. No revolving door for lobbyists, no congressional stock trading, no corporate PAC money.

who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible

Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

TODAY is your LAST CHANCE to speak up to protect the Roadless Rule. The public comment period closes TODAY, Oct. 6. This is just a small glimpse of who these roadless wild areas protect โ€” from colorful candy darters to mighty grizzly bears. These species all deserve a safe place to call home.

Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I think about MLK. He said this thing I always think about -- 'If your coalition is not uncomfortable, it's not big enough.' A lot of people wonder why I'm having this conversation with you. It's because there are people out there who I want to have a conversation with."

Because he and the mob of reanimated, sadistic Nazi goblins that he decided to run with so enjoy threatening and breaking the lives of so many good, innocent people: I formally nominate JD as an excellent candidate for US citizenship revocation.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED
