Charlotte ClymerActually, the tax returns of all Supreme Court justices should absolutely be made public. That should be a requirement to be one of the nine people with lifetime appointments who make final legal decisions for the rest of the country.

The #Biden administration really hasn't done anything about increasing hate and vitriol towards the #LGBTQIA, especially towards #trans people. Of course, Biden and Harris are better than any of the tRump people, but let's not forget their actual history towards us. Any pretense of support is just that, a pretense.

China has removed its Zero-COVID policy. Crematoria and funeral homes are already being overwhelmed.
Funeral homes struggle to keep up in COVID-hit Beijing
Taylor LorenzEarlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

Aaron DeVriesWhen you mix #renewableenergy with thermal storage, it kind of negates "the sun doesn't always shine" argument.
Condensed solar for example, continues producing power for hours after sunset. Add a large thermal storage capacity and it can run all night.
Dr. Christian DeFeoA long time ago I visited Auschwitz. The guide was a former inmate who had a number tattooed on his arm. I saw the gas chambers, the ovens, the piles of belongings. Beware when a group or groups are singled out as a “problem”. When Texas wants to compile lists of trans people, it rings a terrible historical bell. People say don’t be hysterical. People said that in 1933 too. We should know better. #politics #uspol #uspolitics

Dan GillmorSemafor reports (thinly sourced IMO) that Musk is so desperate for cash that he's trying to unload Twitter shares. https://www.semafor.com/article/12/16/2022/elon-musks-team-is-seeking-new-investors-for-twitter Either the (unlikely IMO) new investors are suckers, or valuation will be laughable and lead to massive losses for the banks he suckered into this awful deal earlier this year.
I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.
Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.
Leave. Now.
Joaquin CastroFor years, lax regulation has allowed US-origin weapons to be illegally diverted for illicit use in Latin America and the Caribbean.
This week, I introduced the Americas Regional Monitoring of Arms Sales (ARMAS) Act, a new bill to restore Congressional oversight over small arms exports and disrupt gun trafficking.
