if you really thought Platner was a good candidate until this latest scandal and thought there was nothing else, then you're an even worse judge of character than you are as a handicapper. stick to premature race calls and retractions and leave the judgements to others.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

This impacts middle-schoolers and elementary schoolers as well, but in any case, this response is emblematic of the gratuitous cruelty that characterizes the Republican Party's approach to economics.
Re: WH pausing federal grants and loans, I asked Rep. Rich McCormick if he'd support getting rid of school lunches for his constituents. He tells me high school kids who receive free/reduced lunches "are capable of going out and actually getting a job" instead of "sponging off the government."
NOTE: This freeze would also impact much younger students who are not of working age.

We studied Sonoma California Tiger Salamanders to identify important habitat variables influencing their larval densities. The model is being used to develop a Habitat Conservation Plan!

If you’re a Democrat in any blue state or blue city, number one on your list of politicians to primary out of office over the next 6 years are Democrats who block the expansion of housing. Unaffordable/unavailable housing can lead to very bad results on a host of issues

This would be like coming out of 2004 and being "Democrats need to come out against Same-Sex Marriage"
All the data says economy drove this. This is a take you only get if you are already a transphobic dickweed. You WANT this to be the case

We've heard the voices of LGBTQ Kentuckians and we stand with them. Today I was proud to sign an executive order banning dangerous conversion “therapy” on our kids. No child, regardless of their sexuality, should be subjected to harm.

Ask the country to have a debate. My God.
Forget the violation of your oath to the Constitution. Imagine being this depraved, this servile, this pathetic.
This is why Trump needs to be asked about 2020 tonight and in every interview.

Back from my yearly pilgrimage to visit the largest salamanders in the Americas. There is no other feeling like watching a massive hellbender crawl along the bottom of the stream as the current causes its loose skin to flutter. Like being transported to a different time.
