50-49: Republicans, by one vote, chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive.
After they fumbled around for hours, we needed just one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters and felons.
As per usual, they were spineless.

Three more grey whales have been found dead along B.C.’s coast, bringing the total to at least eight this year. Scientists point to poor body condition due to reduced food availability in northern feeding grounds as the cause.

Having looted Hungary to the bone, it's time to double down on service to Putin, but from the safety of the US.
🚨 Marian Morgan stole millions by defrauding clients through a complex Ponzi scheme.
Trump gave her a commutation, allowing her to keep $17.5 million dollars she stole from consumers.
Another really long day. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how to fight back.

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Dear Scott Pelley: pull the entire 60 Minutes team together and go to MSNow and offer a package deal to recreate the show for Sunday night and call it The Hour
The people who attacked our Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power under our laws and our Constitution were either dupes, loonies, or as this investigation shows—criminal thugs.
Shame on Trump. Stop lionizing these traitors.
Ukrainian forces not only blockading Russia's military and logistics from Crimea and the southern corridor, but now beginning to do the same in Donetsk, preventing supplies entering from the east.
This is brilliant.
One man in California has spent 57 years recording the sounds of natural places. Much of what he's recorded no longer exists.
His name is Bernie Krause. He started as a folk musician and an early pioneer of the Moog synthesizer. In 1968, he began carrying recording equipment into rainforests, deserts, coral reefs, African savannas, and research sites associated with scientists like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey.
The Wild Sanctuary archive now contains more than 5,000 hours of recordings and over 15,000 identified species. Krause coined the term "biophony" to describe the collective sound of living organisms in a habitat and helped establish the field of soundscape ecology.
Through thousands of recordings, he observed that healthy ecosystems often partition acoustic space, with different species occupying different frequencies and times of day. On a spectrogram, an intact habitat can resemble a densely layered musical score.
When Krause revisited many of the places he had recorded decades earlier, he found that over half had become silent, severely degraded, or so altered by human activity that their original biophonies could no longer be heard. His archive preserves sounds from ecosystems that have been transformed or lost.
Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier' collapse may be worse than we thought
If it destabilises, it could trigger a wider collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet, raising sea levels by up to 5 metres
Scientists believe we may be approaching a tipping point that could completely redraw the world’s coastlines

Dear @SecretaryWright: Some deep questions for your deep thoughts:
-Did you know the sun still shines during winter?
-Did you know that solar panels rely on sunlight rather than warmth?
In fact, solar panels can operate even more efficiently during the winter.
It should be obvious. Cyanide bombs are indiscriminate killers that are as likely to take out pets and endangered wildlife as they are the animals they target.
There’s no place for these cruel devices on our public lands.
Republicans often like to say that government should be run more like a business.
If any CEO fell asleep at multiple board meetings and events, that CEO would be fired.

Breaking: Kennedy Center staff is now being ordered to remove Trump’s name from the building. The removal of his name could happen within hours or days. As I found earlier today, his name is even on the center’s buses.
