What’s happening with Terry Moran? Was he wrong?

This is K2-18b. It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star. The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!

Schumer may be voting Yes, and I think Fetterman is a Yes? Anyone else? Odd that Schumer would flip unless he knew he’d be on the winning side.

With this 2025 media, I think this would be a “Dem Shutdown” more than a “Trump Shutdown.”

A bit awkward if Schumer were to step down - doubt that would happen. BUT it would help Dems with a next generation look. I find it egotistical for leaders to stay in power too long.

Weird they’re not showing Democrats standing for the family of murdered women and the girl. I’m sure they are, right?

Lolz! Posted this a week ago when everybody was freaking out about the Canada/Mexico Tariff War. I had already forgotten about it.

I wonder if the Canada/Mexico Tariff War will be done by summer.

Shouldn’t we be careful complaining about the “devastating, catastrophic” pause on federal spending? When our side cries “Wolf!” and it ends up being a nothing-burger, then we lose credibility. The other side cries spending on “Condoms for Afghans” and the general public agree with Trump!

X is full of town criers. On BlueSky, nobody is seriously taking Biden’s “ERA declaration” as a legal truth, right?

Except that Canada is never going to be a state, and continuing to discuss it after the Canadians have made clear it's not happening sounds a lot like professing a rooting interest for a war crime or coddling the dementia of a career criminal, adjudicated rapist, serial sexual predator and sociopath

I cannot imagine what it took for Kamala Harris to preside over the certification of Trump’s election and then to sit by him at Jimmy Carter’s funeral in the same week. She showed far more grace and dignity that Trump did not when he lost in 2020 and incited an insurrection on his way out.
