The Chumash are definitely still here. They are, and will be, good stewards of the sea. So happy to see this.

Remember when Lt. Governor of Texas said that grandparents should be willing to sacrifice themselves to Covid to improve the economy? I do.
Now Project 2025 has a plan to make that a reality.

I voted for Carter twice. There are many reasons that he lost the presidency, including a number of events that were out of his control. It seemed to me that his downfall began with a national address on conserving energy. He was roundly mocked for wearing a cardigan and asking Americans to keep thermostats at 65⁰. I feel that many Americans then and now do not want to hear hard truths about fossil fuels.
Carter left office at age 59, his best days lay ahead of him.

I didn't know that two surviving students committed suicide.💔 Heartbreak on top of heartbreak.
It's hard to think of a punishment harsh enough for Alex Jones and his ilk. May they die destitute and alone.

I was thinking it might have been Cheung, but Lewandowski, if he was there, would be a prime suspect.
He was charged with assaulting a female reporter at a trump campaign event in 2016. Charges were later dropped, although the incident was caught on video. The next year, he was accused of assaulting a female singer, but no charges were brought. In 2021 he was charged with battery by the wife of a trump donor. See below.

50 gop military veterans in Congress signed a letter accusing Tim Walz of "stolen valor". Walz retired honorably from the National Guard after 24 years of service.
29 of the 50 signers, all of whom claimed they retired from the military, are not military retirees. The list includes an admiral demoted for misconduct and a Congressman without combat experience who lied about his service.

I agree with musk. For anyone with a net worth of a $billion or more trump's policies will result in greater prosperity.
For the rest of us 350,000,0000 Americans they will be an unmitigated disaster.

I read about Waltz's profound hearing loss. Hearing was so impaired that he had trouble hearing his little girl's voice.
This clearly explains why Waltz would not have been physically fit to serve. It shouldn't even be necessary to discuss this, but here we are. The man served for 24 years and retired honorably.
That should be the end of the story.

It's possible she is deluding herself about reviving her career, possibly as a member of a future trump administration. Does she remember how trump purged Chris Christie from his transition team days after the 2016 election? Trump is an ignoramus, but an expert in retribution.
Everything trump touches dies.

Time will tell. Millions of Californians live in very close proximity to oil wells. The oil companies basically want to keep these wells active, despite the danger to humans.
The referendum cost them tens of millions, but they abandoned it. They had to be worried that it would fail.
They think they will have a better chance in the courts. I am not sure.
CA has found ways to protect its environment despite some really bad federal court rulings. This buys us time to prepare.

A victory for the environment.
Big oil has withdrawn a ballot referendum that challenged CA state law requiring restrictions on oil wells that are near homes and schools.
Oil companies will now take their case to the courts.
