BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
Peace officers have a duty to preserve life. Part of that responsibility is training officers proper use of force and tactics. Anyone that starts their day looking for a fight will surely find one. In this case the fight is with the American public. This is a rouge agency with no leadership.
Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.
This is correct, each state defines who is a "peace officer" and powers given to such. Special agents often have some powers given by the state. Border patrol officers usually have little to none.
I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...
"if we want to use DAC to limit overall warming to 1.5oC, while emitting enough to reach 2.5oC, DAC would need to use something like 30% of all electricity consumed over the next 80 years"
we gotta leave fossil fuels in the ground, people
Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus.
Vaccination is the gold standard for protection.
However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.
America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
From @AGU.org: Senators are working on legislation to save NCAR, but we need extra support for these 8 states. Your Senators in Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming need to hear from you.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
Sure it’s tough to find a new job or afford a home or groceries, but Trump has doubled his net worth since taking office by profiting off the presidency.
David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.
This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
Plain white text on a red background: "10,704 days since Australia's last mass shooting. Prayers don't save lives. Laws do."
Trump should be doing this as part of his felony community service hours.
First day of 2025 over 84,000 megawatts in Texas/ERCOT.
Days like today would have been very expensive in years past. But today, with renewables meeting ~40% of peak demand, there's an extra 20,000 megawatts of capacity available and wholesale prices are low. #txenergy #txlege

Richard Nixon resigned August 9, 2974... An era when there were consequences for presidents being criminals.
Our hearts are broken for David Rose’s wife, 2 kids and his baby on the way. He was only 33 and died protecting CDC and ATL.
We don’t have words to do justice to his sacrifice right now. We are looking for ways to support the family. 💔
