A Norwegian media outlet tested 53 toilets at ONS, our massive oil and gas conference.
The results show that the fossil fuel industry is having a great time, even if the rest of us aren't 😍

never seen a half a point win treated by everyone with any kind of power as proof of a seismic change
Elites that surrended to Trump in 2025 miscalculated, letting his imagined cultural dominance spook them into inflating the price of getting on his bad side. But now the logic of collective resistance has been confirmed as sound. Should have realized this earlier!

🧵One important thing about right-wing culture that people who have never been a part of it don't get is that to most Republican loyalists, their religion is America.
They truly believe that the country's creators were directly inspired by God. To write critically of the founders is blasphemy.

as I noted this week at the newsletter, the media's horniness for unrealistic and anthropomorphized AI doomsday scenarios helps it avoid discussing other issues media ownership doesn't want to discuss
like climate change, fascism, rampant corruption, and the disintegration of corporate oversight

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign.
The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.
Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Antagonism to transgender rights is tied to the authoritarian desire for social conformity – not just partisan affiliation
Authoritarian attitudes – the desire for social conformity and an aversion to difference – play an important role in Americans’ willingness to restrict transgender rights.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms."
Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.
