Federal data: Kansas oil spill biggest in Keystone history

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A ruptured pipe dumped enough oil this week into a northeastern Kansas creek to nearly fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, becoming the largest onshore crude pipeline spill in nine years and surpassing all the previous ones on the same pipeline system combined, according to federal data.

"For too long, the Supreme Court Justices have hidden behind a veil of secrecy and a lack of transparency — where people think that they are impartial arbiters. And what's happening right now is they are showing you just how desperately partisan they are — and they're willing to make themselves sound like fools to do it."

Georgia, if you haven’t voted, make sure you do so ASAP.

Vote Warnock.

A lot of the folks who became climate deniers started out fighting air pollution regulations, and never really left that fight. I wrote something about it for Rolling Stone, but my editor there left, took it to The Guardian and editor there left too, so it sat. Last week I realized the main guy in the story I'd been working on is at the same org as the folks suddenly fighting renewables again. So many zombie arguments! Finally decided to just publish it: https://www.drilledpodcast.com/drilled-down-when-it-comes-to-climate-obstruction-coal-is-still-very-much-alive/
