It's amazing what you find out when you get out of Charleston and talk to West Virginians

Obviously, our democracy cannot survive much longer if the party that represents 50% of the country won't accept election results that go against its candidates.

@stephlepp @AliceInDisarray Looks like you had a few good laughs this morning

Growing evidence shows poor and Black, Latino and other racial and ethnic groups are typically more vulnerable to pollution and climate-driven floods, hurricanes and extreme heat. The EPA, in a 2021 report no longer on its website, concluded the same. @DoranyPineda90 @borenbears

🌊 Legislators & Advocates Criticize Bay-Delta Plan and Delta Tunnel

Recent signs of ecosystem damage to the Bay-Delta Estuary have caused local advocates, Tribal leaders, and policymakers like @RepJoshHarder to call for stronger water protections.

Wondering if @ausmazehanat still follows Canadian Women’s Hockey. Maybe not enough reason to since she seems to have retired her hockey playing detective.

@StevenGreenhut Not if you understand Trump. It is a down payment on a transaction he hopes to close vbefore 2028.

Record warmth across much of the West this winter has left the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains with very little snow.

“That is the classic global warming mountain snowpack signature.” @Weather_West

A judge blocked the Trump administration from "destroying or altering evidence" related to the shooting. @AGEllison says the state has never before had to ask a court to preserve evidence in this way. "We will not back down and we will not bend." https://t.co/eMYtA6tzQr

@RestoretheDelta Can’t hardly wait.

[Sheril Kirshenbaum, PhD @Sheril_]

Most know me for work in science & policy but my other major was classical history.

I view the present through this lens, understanding the map is always changing.

Only by studying the humanities - that so many dismiss - can we learn from our past & chart a more hopeful future.

Congratulations, America. You now live in a perfect democracy, according to H.L. Mencken: "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Funny how the more outwardly "Christian" our government becomes, the less its officials and agents behave in a humble, kind, forgiving, meek, peaceful and honest manner.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

@LauraLoomer “ this country is over” and will never be what its founders intended it to be.

[Wes Rolley @wrolley]

And even the Pros do not always get it right.

[CAL FIRE SCU @calfireSCU]

Leave the fireworks to the Pros🎆

Every year, fires caused by fireworks put lives, homes, & the environment at risk. Outside of professional fireworks shows, fireworks are illegal on New Year’s Eve.

Choose safety by NOT handling fireworks.
