I think John Bannon might be ringing up the NY Post again in the near future.

If you want to save energy, turn off the drying cycle.
I’m not sure what kind of rules could be put in place to save water: modern dishwashers are pretty damned efficient already with water. My wife insists on washing the dishes before they go into the dishwasher and there isn’t a word I can say that will change it. Frankly, in terms of reducing water consumption changing the attitudes of people like my wife would do a lot more than a small incremental reduction in water consumption.

Not if it costs them money. I still remember my dad’s rants over CFL and LED light bulbs.

The South Carolina Republican infamously predicted that Trump, if nominated, would destroy the GOP, but he has since become one of the twice-impeached former president’s staunchest defenders, and The Bulwark’s Will Saletan published a 112-page treatisedocumenting the senator’s descent.
“Trump turned out to be poison,” Saletan wrote. “Over the next five years, he thoroughly corrupted Graham’s party. Republican leaders had time to counteract the poison, but they never did. One reason was that the poison moved slowly. Graham and other Republican politicians lost the ability to see what they were becoming. They rallied around an authoritarian, excused authoritarian acts, and embraced authoritarian ideas.”
Saletan tried to approach his subject with seriousness and avoid simply dunking on the senator, who he said one just one of many who betrayed their own stated values by siding with the reality TV star-turned-politician – but he said Graham presented a perfect case study because he maintains a high public profile.

What a strange person.
As a fellow Georgian, I lament what this state could become. Too many people vote for the Republican candidate as though they are voting for who they want to win the Super Bowl. It’s their brand. When you have radicals attempting to steer the political ship, the concerns of practical, rational people tend to get trampled.

Bingo. Those who vote for the Qevin Qaucus should reap what they sow.

Well, that’s true. The past seven years have been the most problematic and consequential.

That is the logical solution, but the crazy wing of the party will not go for it, which means the Barely Speaker will not do a thing to make it so.
There is this other theory where some group or groups should sue Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen in federal court claiming the Debt Ceiling law is unconstitutional because of the 14th Amendment. This happened yesterday in Massachusetts where a group of federal government employees are suing the Treasury Secretary and President Biden, saying it is their duty to pay all bills.

The judge in Donald Trump’s criminal hush money case issued a protective order barring Trump from distributing discovery materials handed over to him by prosecutors, including on social media.
I’ve read that this is a free speech violation, but discovery materials don’t become public until they’re entered into evidence. Do I have this wrong?

Not only does it make sense, it’s what EPA actually expects people to do. When you need/want a new appliance because the old one croaks or you are sick unto death of your kitchen and have bit the bullet for a remodel, then you go get a new appliance.
Of course, this lets out nutjobs like a friend of mine who did a kitchen remodel and installed a restored 1950 something Viking commercial gas stove.

This misleading article that paints the Democratic response to debt ceiling hostage taking as illegitimate is already being picked up and repeated in the wingnut media universe.

How is this not promulgating “misinformation”?
The coverage of the GOP’s manufactured debt-ceiling crisis is no different, except the stakes are so high and the culpability of the Republican Party so obvious that the usual bad coverage tropes are more damaging, less informative, and skew the public debate in especially misleading and destructive ways.
