Reading this article — full of such good quotes from many different climate scientists that picking just one was hard — and having a hard time not being a doomer:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/28/crazy-off-the-charts-records-has-humanity-finally-broken-the-climate

“Climate science’s projections are pretty robust over the last decades. Unfortunately, humanity’s stubbornness to spew out ever-higher amounts of greenhouse gases has also been pretty robust,” said Prof Malte Meinshausen.

Here's the 22 page statement by FBI agent Buma on Giuliani's work with people linked to Russian intelligence services

Since Texas state officials haven't figured out how to control all women's bodies yet, they'll violate the constitutional right to travel (Article IV, Section 2).

If you're a Louisiana resident, you have the right to travel to New Mexico for abortion care. Texas counties can't decide you can't use their roads.

Some Texas women – conservative Republicans – who hold local public office don't want travel restricted in their towns. Extremists want these laws badly.

There's a new Rudy Giuliani scandal. An FBI whistleblower says Giuliani, when he was digging for dirt on Biden for Trump, was co-opted by Russian intelligence. He claims his investigation of Giuliani's activities was blocked by higher-ups. Check out this piece by Dan Friedman and me.

Ruh-roh: there's an elephant in the living room for Republicans vis-a-vis TimScott:

"In their desperate quest to find a 2024 alternative to former President Donald Trump, GOP donors have stumbled upon an elephant in the room: Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is single.

That fact, long known among casual political observers, has suddenly sparked “curiosity” and a round of pearl-clutching among the GOP's well-heeled donors…."

Infuriating, NPR joins CNN & other media outlets to ridicule Pres Biden for nonsense. He's taking the shorter stairs more frequently since he had a fall. FDR was in a wheelchair, Gov Abbott uses one too -makes no difference in the way they govern. #RWMedia #BidenHarris2024 "Very few people have noticed that he's mostly using the smaller stairs-But everybody's going to notice if there's a really bad slip & fall down the tall air-stairs." Why Biden is now routinely taking: https://www.npr.org/2023/08/31/1196803354/biden-air-force-one-short-stairs

“Dem state officials in #California are taking leading role in fighting education culture wars at local level, just as conservatives launch an effort to take the same issues directly to voters.

3 of top elected officials in the state — Gov. Newsom, AG Bonta & Superintendent of Public Instruction Thurmond — are pulling a variety of levers to fight back against conservative school board policies banning books & restricting support for #LGBTQ students” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/california-democratic-leaders-battle-conservative-school-boards-rcna102602
