The Ken Paxton Files: What’s in House Investigators’ New Trove of Impeachment Evidence?

Nearly 4,000 pages of evidence paint the clearest picture yet of the allegations against the attorney general.

The idea that climate change protestors would target, of all things, Burning Man—then get removed by the local tribal sherrifs (not even Feds or state police), to me shows the hollowness of these “statements”.

Meanwhile, Norway just turned on a state-of-the-art offshore wind farm that negates the emissions of 100k cars, annually. That easily eclipses a big festival.

Climate change is not an “awareness” problem anymore. It’s an engineering problem.

#FlopsweatTrump is increasingly desperate.

Via Reuters' Sarah Lynch:

It's misleading for #Trump to claim on social media that he will appeal Judge #Chutkan's trial date of March 4. A trial court's scheduling order is not a legit basis to file an appeal at this stage, before a verdict is reached.

Hey if you're here because Twitter/X is down, just stay here. Delete the Twitter app from your phone - like genuinely tab out and do it right now - lock your account when the site's back up, and stop posting there already.

I'm not here to be sold things by, or see ads for, corporations, but if you make, grow or create something yourself, post it. If you used to get by on Twitter, and you're struggling since its destruction, I want to see that even more.

Maybe some of y'all are anti-commerce in all forms, and I wish you luck with that, but in the real world a lot of artists, growers and makers are struggling. I care about that much more than any commercial purity test.

I would like to see the baby.

“Tell them about the dream, Martin,” gospel singer Mahalia Jackson urged Dr. King, “tell them about the dream.” And #OTD in 1963 he did - setting aside the prepared remarks for the March on Washington, and starting to ad lib a speech that still rings from the “prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire” to “the curvaceous slopes of California” to “every hill and mole hill of Mississippi.” https://theconversation.com/gospel-singer-mahalia-jackson-made-a-suggestion-during-the-1963-march-on-washington-and-it-changed-a-good-speech-to-a-majestic-sermon-on-an-american-dream-212067 @blackmastodon @histodons #histodons
Gospel singer Mahalia Jackson made a suggestion during the 1963 March on Washington − and it changed a good speech to a majestic sermon on an American dream

As the “Queen” of gospel music, Mahalia Jackson sang two songs during the historic March on Washington. But her most famous line may have been a suggestion to Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
