A win! A federal judge in Washington issued a longer-term injunction, blocking the Trump administration from removing or damaging any more trees on the grounds of East Potomac Golf Links.

More importantly, oil takes longer to extract as stockpiles dwindle, and we are already beyond our capacity to quickly respond to an emergency *right now*

BrotherAndy reposted

Good question - we’re at the point now that even extracting oil gets complicated. The oil is held in salt caverns and water is pumped in at the bottom to displace oil upwards. At 70M barrels, oil water ratio is too low. Water can enter extraction devices and even start eroding the caverns.

If there's a required minimum, what's the fallout and expected actions if it goes below the minimum?

BrotherAndy reposted

Did you know we’re below the minimum recommended amount of oil, and just barely above the *statutory minimum* in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Lowest level since 1982, and gas is still through the roof. What happens when the war in Iran kicks back off?

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

For approximately the 94th time since 2008, Republicans are threatening civil war again. Must be about to lose another election.

Attn California voters: The Trump administration is escalating its pressure on local election officials demanding cooperation with a federal citizenship review and threatening potential legal consequences.

Nobody wants violence. It would be nice if conservatives could focus on the brewing constitutional crisis instead of pearl clutching over the leftist boogeyman of the week. Also, Republicans have been threatening civil war since we dared to elect a Black man. 🤷‍♂️

“Nobody invokes the Insurrection Act over people walking down the street with signs. It doesn't happen.” 🙄 Trump and his allies are *openly* floating using the Insurrection Act to seize voting machines or ballots in order to upend an election they expect to lose.

Yes, and sooner than later, thankfully. After this regime, I suspect we’re going to see a bunch of Republicans try to pretend they never supported Trump. I don’t know that we’ll get back to normal - we probably won’t for awhile, but I do think it’ll be less… Trumpy.

Mostly Iran. If we win as big as I think/hope we will, I expect Trump to go nuts in Iran and Yemen. They’re already laying the groundwork with leaks about Iran targeting US personnel and facilities abroad, and Bibi is talking about overthrowing the Iranian regime again.

That would be a catastrophically dumb move for Putin, but he’s definitely been hinting at provocations in the Baltic States. He’s also the one stoking the fires of the protests in France, so there’s that.

It’s honestly impossible to say, and anyone telling you they know otherwise is full of shit. The polls look very good for Dems. Polls don’t vote, though. We need to ignore them and vote like we’re down by 3%. I think a lot of these races will be close, but I’d rather be us than them.

Obama is still extraordinarily popular. I think he’ll help for sure. He knocked his rally in Ohio out of the park today. I didn’t see the one in Michigan, but I’m sure it was equally fantastic. I miss him so much. We really took decency for granted.

That’s one issue that I don’t know that we’re going to be able to effectively counter - that’s why I always say I expect criminal charges after this administration, depending on who he pardons. Challenging pardons in court is definitely not a sure win, unfortunately.
