The Helicopter Mommy party: poised to swoop in on a split-second's notice to protect Republicans from the consequences of their own idiocy.
Official map from NOAA depicting the relative rank of winter 2025-2026 temperatures at a county level across the contiguous U.S. Many counties in the western and central U.S. are depicted in dark red color, signifying record-warmest winter. All other counties in the west and central U.S. are depicted in dark orange colors, signifying a "near record warm" rank.
The official NOAA stats out this week confirm that winter 2025-26 was the warmest on record across a huge portion of the western and central U.S., which has contributed to extremely low mountain snowpack & worsened the CO River crisis. Meanwhile, record March heat is in forecast.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:
I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil
The biggest way this is like Covid is that Trump has no idea how bad he’s fucking up. And no one he’s listening to will even try to tell him.
Dalylight savings time is stressful for the brain - every year, a transient risk of accidents and illness. We should consider doing away with it.
Put this neuroscientist in Congress and we’ll take it up.

If there was video of a Senate Dem giving a compound fracture to a Marine while wearing his dress blues, that guy would've been burned at the stake by close of business
1953. It would appear that absolutely NOTHING has changed
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

The irony being that your regular insights and light-hearted predictions show you're pretty damn smart (and funny).
Very insightful (as usual from Greg) 8-part thread
I don't think these assholes have the slightest clue what Jesus actually taught
you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

And as it happens, just a couple of months ago I wrote up a piece about the movie which, both in retrospect and also at the time, should have nabbed the Best Picture award that year:

I think Hell No is what most of the base believes; Process Opposition is mostly cowards already in office.
As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.
So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!
America is praying for Austin.
But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves.
God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands.
We must act.
our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor
A man who has never learned that actions have consequences should never be allowed to start a war.
War is a terrible and disgusting thing. Waging it by choice rather than by absolute last resort is reprehensible.
May God forgive us.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
