Just contacted my Senator (Jon Tester) as well as Hakeem Jeffries making my opinion clear that I expect their support for the President

Are concerns among Democrats actually growing? By what objective measure? You can run @nytimes.com (you seriously bailed on Threads?) but you can't hide

President Biden will continue his re-election effort on Sunday with two campaign stops in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. Follow live updates.

Bernie Sanders on Face the Nation: "What we are talking about now is not a Grammy award contest for best singer. Biden is old. He's not as articulate as he once was. I wish he could jump up the steps on Air Force One. He can't. What we have got to focus on is policy."

In an effort to quell calls for him to quit the race, Biden sat for a network TV interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Friday night. Did it work?

1923: Hitler’s failed coup. No real consequences. No fundamental changes. 1933: Hitler takes power. Make no mistake, “Project 2025” is Trump’s art of “Mein Kampf”.

I put together a 🧵 on Biden's speech in Madison that you can check out from the link below, no Threads account required It was a very strong showing, though it certainly won't be enough to silence the discussion about whether he should stay in the race.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

The Heritage Foundation is absolutely making overt terrorist threats and everyone you know needs to be aware of this.

Somebody else pointed earlier that the "bloodless if the leftists allow" (paraphrasing) bullshit sentence, is a clear terrorist threat and should probably be called like this.

The punditocracy has gone both apeshit and feral, but politics isn’t fantasy football and there isn’t One Weird Trick to beating Trump

The pundit class needs to get a gripwww.publicnotice.co Politics isn't fantasy football and there's no One Weird Trick to beat Trump.

It is also a reason for President Biden to test the limits of Presidential immunity by treating this as a direct, public threat of violent insurrection against our government/coup planning and arresting this domestic terrorist. It is time for the Federalist Society to reap what they have sown

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

@nyt and @wsj flogging their poll results today instead of reporting substance

The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

This is an excellent article, both in relation to pet/human interaction and the ethics of sponsored research. Really good read

This is a really great piece, and like a lot of good exploratory articles, is not precisely about what it says on the tin

Cannot imagine what the hell Newsweek was thinking here. Messed-up on so many levels, least of all, Newsweek just pissed off her 600 million fans

Newsweek published an op-ed written by the 1950’s patriarchy. And conservatives wonder why women won’t date them.

Discussion includes increased fire-atmosphere coupling, pyroconvection, & nonlinear vegetation response. www.publish.csiro.au... 1/2

Future fire events are likely to be worse than climate projections indicate – these are some of the reasons whywww.publish.csiro.au Background Climate projections signal longer fire seasons and an increase in the number of dangerous fire weather days for much of the world including Australia.Aims Here we argue that heatwaves, dynamic fire–atmosphere interactions and increased fuel availability caused by drought will amplify potential fire behaviour well beyond projections based on calculations of afternoon forest fire danger derived from climate models.Methods We review meteorological dynamics contributing to enhanced fire behaviour during heatwaves, drawing on examples of dynamical processes driving fire behaviour during the Australian Black Summer bushfires of 2019–20.Results Key dynamical processes identified include: nocturnal low-level jets, deep, unstable planetary boundary layers and fire–atmosphere coupling.Conclusions The future scenario we contend is long windows of multi-day fire events where overnight suppression is less effective and fire perimeters will expand continuously and aggressively over multiple days and nights.Implications Greater overnight fire activity and multi-day events present strategic and tactical challenges for fire management agencies including having to expand resourcing for overnight work, manage personnel fatigue and revise training to identify conditions conducive to unusually active fire behaviour overnight. Effective messaging will be critical to minimise accidental fire ignition during heatwaves and to alert the community to the changing fire environment

This paper will likely be of interest to #wildfire scientists, fire weather meteorologists, and #climate scientists--as well as operational fire folks working "on the ground" or "in the air." I found several of the hypotheses posed here quite compelling... cc @nplareau 2/2

During Thursday's debate, former president Donald Trump was repeatedly asked whether or not he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election. Trump has repeatedly falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged and that he defeated Joe Biden. wapo.st/4bmL0Uw

Here in Montana, I'm awaiting a 2017 sale flashdrought, feels as if it's setting up

Early signs of potentially major heatwave around 4th of July centered on Northern CA, and this event could bring hot temperatures all the way to the coast (uncommon for early Jul). Early hints at potential for some record-breaking heat & very high grass/brush fire risk. #CAwx
