Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Just got into the Trump rally at Capitol One Arena. But there are thousands and thousands of Trump fans standing in sleeting rain who have been here since 7 am, and there’s no way they’re getting in. But no one is telling them that. Seems like half the arena is VIPs and donors.

How often has he donated to this grand tradition before? Never. Trump is not in office yet, and he’s running a mob-like protection racket.

How much longer will we let plastic endanger our lives and the planet? Plastic production has already reached unsustainable levels but it is set to nearly triple by 2050. Time to turn off the tap: we need a strong and ambitious #PlasticsTreaty that drastically cuts plastic production. #INC5
