The typical news publication is written at a sixth grade reading level. Do with this information what you will.

A part of me hopes they fine him $130k. Fining him the exact amount he paid Stormy Daniels somehow feels like an even bigger "fuck you" than the maximum possible financial penalty.

I love how he waited until the day after Trump's conviction to announce this, when the news cycle is still too busy covering Trump to spend any time on a covering it.

Too cowardly to do this when people are actually paying attention, which really is the perfect summary of his career in politics.

It also adds clutter and noise to a public space, making it more irritating to scroll through comments. It's like someone having a private conversation on speaker phone while you're waiting in line at a Starbucks or whatever.

In this case, the carbon and oxygen are coming from a much more mundane source: the solar wind.

When high-energy particles from the solar wind collide with molecules in Venus' upper atmosphere, they carry enough energy to break some of those molecules into their constituent atoms. Since the Venusian atmosphere is almost entirely CO2, you should expect this process to generate C and O ions — which is exactly what we've now observed!

Believe it or not, McConnell's home state of Kentucky currently has a Democratic governor, so if McConnell vacated his seat, the governor would appoint a Democrat to fill it until a special election could be held.
