Facts: Bicycle vs. motorcycle commuting mode share for Iowa cities: —Iowa City: 2.8% vs 0.4% —Ames: 1.7% vs 0.0% —Des Moines: 0.4% vs 0.0% —Cedar Rapids: 0.2% vs 0.2% Turns out Iowans actually do ride bikes, more than they ride motorcycles.

I’m sorry, the WHAT

NEW: Chevron just gave $50,000 to support LA Mayor Karen Bass — and defeat Nithya Raman. "They view Karen Bass as someone who they can work with, someone who will protect their interests in L.A. And they view Nithya Raman as a threat to fossil fuels." www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/chevron-ka...

eternal scream of RAAAAGE those kids should not have to do this any more than the people waiting in line for 12 hours in Georgia should have to do that.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

This is straight up, plain and simple authoritarianism. This is the canonical impeachable offense

read that sentence. it is a description of political persecution. anyone giving this the time of day as a serious legal case is a fool.

The absolute flood of leaks about this case is maybe an indication that people inside govt aren’t feeling too great about it

OSSOFF: Mike, you just confused Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act despite reading from your notes ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

"it's against the law for you to not love me" is the prevailing attitude among most people with actual power, and thus they beclown themselves at every opportunity

WATCH: Andy Harris has a crash out after his constituents laugh at him for trying to blame higher gas prices on... Democrats. "You are rude!" #MD01

Ahem, from more than 3 years ago www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

the reason the media doesn't cover this for what it clearly is is because they like Trump and they want to help him rule us. Especially as we approach an election that could be a generational wipeout for Rs they will double down on attempting to help him

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

New York city should secede and print its own currency

Yeah see unlike the pic fron yesterday which comes down on the "bad but not much actionable" this is bad and actionable. If you see troops at any drop box now that they're open, call 866 OUR VOTE and have pics ideally!

lol what can you even say

Hey #Baltimore folks, #CharmCity #cyclocross is this weekend in Druid Hill Park! Weather looks beautiful for Saturday, I recommend coming out to check out the races! www.charmcitycross.com

"...Mr Trump in fact did ‘rape’ Ms Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contexts outside of the New York penal law.” - Judge Lewis Kaplan, 2023

They're trying to steal the election. The Plot to Enslave America

the response should be immediate contempt proceedings all the way up the chain of command to the ICE/ERO directors including escalating fines and orders to personally appear in court. if that doesn't do the trick, criminal contempt, throw them in jail. play stupid games, win stupid prizes

I just read a third or possibly fourth news article where the reality of an 'AI has discovered something marvellous!' story turns out to be GenAI somehow accessed material it had no permissions for, which was the outcome of an expert's years of work, and presented it without attribution. GenAI lies.

"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

this is disappointing to me to hear. But I think Bill's right. Property is property. Absent some very binding court stipulations, I doubt this means much. My wife was also at WSJ when this happened, albeit in GC office of Dow Jones. Everyone knew what was coming.

Giving an external committee power to veto research funding because it doesn’t align to a political agenda will not only harm science, it is a threat to democracy.

Trump has a particular passion for going after people who prosecute crimes.

Ideally I solve it through my consumer choices, but I'm open to other ways of being a savior 😇

Odd feeling to have this quote appear the day after I read the short story it's excepted from.

Doctors say that the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania is likely due to low rates of vaccination. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his van says it’s caused by chemtrails. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

A federal judge in Vermont becomes the latest — of about two dozen unanimous courts — to deny the Justice Department access to the state's voter registration rolls. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: We won! And we get discovery into this crazy demolition threat to boot. Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social and to my colleagues at DDF and WLG. Formal statement to follow.

In related news, I'll be starting the Medlock sportsbook. Every line is even money, no vig, max bet $580, both sides mandatory, one visit per six months. It's time to gamble our way to Medicaid for All.
