I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

Totally agree
maybe it’s not for you, and that’s fine but the immediate and endless complaining about a MV because it didn’t fit into what YOU envisioned in YOUR mind is dumb. let’s respect the artist and HER vision, and appreciate the tribute she’s paying to an iconic woman. also, if you look past the surface level it’s very telling of taylor’s feelings and purpose behind the song based on the clips that were used in different parts … plus this feeds money back to ET’s estate, which is another great way to show respect ✨💍

Yesterday, at the peak of Christmas day, Texas got about 55% of its power from wind and solar. At the lowest demand of the day, it got about 50% of its power from wind. At one point, about 10% was provided by batteries.

The Trump administration says it plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, which is the nation’s premier atmospheric science center. In his announcement of the closing, OMB Director Russell Vought called the center “one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country.”
NCAR, as the center is known, was founded in 1960 and has facilitated generations of breakthroughs in climate and weather science.
The announcement has drawn outcry from meteorologists and climate scientists across the country.
William Brangham recently spoke with Brown University’s Kim Cobb and meteorologist @MatthewCappucci.

Travel writer Rick Steves was at his home in Edmonds, Washington, when he learned a local community center for homeless residents was set to close. Within a few weeks, Steves bought it.
“I really take ‘love your neighbor’ seriously,” he said. wapo.st/48VY4CA

Magaziner: Madam secretary, you promised America that you would go after the worst of the worst. But these people are not the worst of the worst. A purple heart recipient, a military spouse, the father of three Marines. And it's not just veterans and military families. You are locking up and deporting children with cancer, mothers with babies in the NICU, United States citizens, you do. There are many problems with your leadership, but the biggest problem is this you don't seem to know how to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

And as far as “ healthcare is a right “. Once we have an efficient market - we don’t today, because just a few insurance carriers dominate and define the economics of healthcare , and we make it transparent, for anything and everything, then we will be in a position where there is true competition for our healthcare dollars.
To be clear, we won’t get from here to there without DOJ/FTC and legislative participation. If you remove any and all government intervention , the big carriers will go from being multi-hundred billion dollar companies , to multi trillion dollar revenue companies. They will buy every innovative company, more providers , more PBMs , and the cost of care in this country will continue to inflate far beyond its current $5b cost.
And for the universal healthcare advocates, with an efficient , transparent market , we have a Canadian like path. If a state looks at all the claims in its state and thinks it can extrapolate that data and determine it’s in the best interest of its constituents to cover the costs of that care , and those constituents agree, then we can start with states , like Canada did with a single province and see where it takes us
"Underpay"
I know you are not this ignorant, @mcuban. The US OVERPAYS at every level in healthcare, which is a key reason we overtreat, which is a key reason our outcomes stink.
We do NOT need to spend more money on medicine in the US, we would be better off spending less.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when donald trump berates and calls women names, including journalists, it is a form of verbal and psychological abuse. It's a baiting move used by narcissists to make the victim feel less than, and it's absolutely wrong. He's gaslighting to test the boundaries, and if people don't push back, he'll keep doing it.
If you haven't talked to your children or grandchildren about it yet, you should be.

While Trump demands a total shutdown on immigration for poor countries, Pope Leo XIV stands in Istanbul lifting up the “little ones” — refugees, migrants, outsiders.
One calls for exclusion, the other for radical welcome. That’s the divide.
Here’s how Leo flipped the script on American power and greatness. bit.ly/4amVTJ9

The last 48 hours have been one of the most outrageous stretches any modern administration has produced: a president meddling in a foreign election, floating pardons for a convicted narco-trafficker, inserting himself into an active military justice process, and escalating threats against members of Congress.
Any one of these would dominate a normal news cycle. Seeing them all at once is more than just unprecedented, it’s dangerous.

Like a prudent builder, Pope Leo is laying a long-term foundation to knock down the foundations of MAGA. He’s in it for the long haul, willing to be the steady drumbeat of the Gospel against the cacophony of lies.
Make no mistake — Leo will win this fight. open.substack.com/pub/letter…
