Wildfires used to 'go to sleep' at night. Climate change is turning them into prime burning hours

And there you have it, the old "Tutor" planes of the Snowbirds will be officially retired after this flying season.

Black voters in South Carolina and other southern states are turning out
in defiance of what many see as Donald Trump’s efforts to suppress their political power,
fueling Democratic hopes of clinching upset wins in the region in this fall’s midterm elections.

A surge in Black voter engagement is energizing close Senate races in North Carolina and Georgia,
where Democrats go into the summer with leads in many polls.
Some Democrats see a chance of long-shot vict…

Why resisting Trump has galvanized Black Democrats as the midterms approach
High primary turnout among Black voters in the South has given some in the party hope for upset wins in the region.

Feeling this one hard.
