For the first time in 114 years, biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have observed a fall-run Chinook salmon returning to spawn in the Klamath Basin in Oregon, after dam removal.

Only you need to know who you vote for. Just ask Melania.

“I was confused, to be honest. I was born and raised in Woodbridge, Virginia, so, you’ve got everything about me and now you’re saying that I’m an alien. Why would you let me vote before and not now?”

To be more completely accurate: The Republican Supreme Court just blessed a Republican illegal voter purge. vox.com/scotus/380956/…

This is truly wild. The Washington Post and New York Times both have the Biden gaffe as their top stories (the NYT has *two* stories about it on their home page) and not a single mention of Johnson saying they’ll repeal the ACA or a Trump official saying they’ll pull vaccines.

Wish people would think more about this.

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access. A thread, with links: >>

🚨REMINDER🚨 Trump CANNOT legally vote in Florida. Our state's constitution is very clear about it. He is a convicted felon. He has not completed his sentence or had his rights restored by DeSantis. There aren't exceptions. He should've been charged with a crime back in August.

Allow me to be the first to thank AG Merrick Garland for the excellent work that led us to this extraordinary moment in American history. 🫠

The CFPB protects consumers from wrongdoing by large financial institutions. That's why Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies want to "delete" it. 1/

BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett just called out the hypocrisy of individuals pearl clutching over President Biden’s pardoning of Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden filled out a form wrong and was prosecuted exclusively because of his last name.

A REMINDER If Donald Trump and his co-conspirators had been remanded into custody upon arrest...LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON CHARGED WITH SIMILAR CRIMES...none of this. NONE OF IT, would be happening

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Elon Musk killed PBM reform without knowing what a PBM is jabberwocking.com/elon-musk-kill…

Everyone needs to know that these fires were made possible by global heating, which is caused by the fossil fuel industry, which has lied and blocked action for half a century. And that this will all get much, much, much worse until we end the fossil fuel industry

So, Trump created a problem that DID NOT EXIST, instantly lost, gave up everything he was trying to negotiate, looked like a weak dickhead to the rest of the world, and damaged diplomatic relations with an ally while boosting Chinese soft power in South America. 5/

The state of play, a week into Elon's assault on USAID. USAID is in a state of suspended animation - it has been powered down, but it's not *quite* to the point where it can't be powered back on. What happens next comes down to the courts & Congress. 🧵
