Op-Ed: Democrats – What Is Your Platform?
By TJ TAUB
Los Alamos
Signs, some incredibly clever, crisply accurate, funny – are fine.
But another critical message is: Democrats – What Is Your Platform? “We’re Not Them” is NOT a platform!
Our politics have degenerated and warped into two views.
-
-
-
-
- “Republican” bottom line is ‘Dems are evil, we’re here to save you’.
- “Democrat” bottom line is ‘We’re not them, send money’.

Dem communications must change from five words to describing how policies/practices got us here, and fundamental actions required to survive this nightmare and rebuild our democracy.
If you fail to see how Dems Read More

Dermody: Rooftop Solar Remains Pragmatic Solution For Rising Energy Costs
By CONNOR DERMODY

As Spring begins, this is one of the more prominent times of the year where I experience an uptick in consultations for photovoltaic (PV) designs. Since I started working with homeowners in Los Alamos County four years ago, I have experienced quite a bit of change, from available incentives to how clients will be compensated for energy shared with the utility grid. Despite the ebbs and flows, I remain confident that the conscientious switch to rooftop solar is a sound solution for your current and ongoing energy needs.
Here are a few reasons why I believe Read More
Weekly Fishing Report: April 19, 2026

Los Alamos Daily Post
The Department stocked a total of 18,775 rainbow trout weighing 8,165 pounds. Most of the stocking will now be in Northern New Mexico.
It looks like there will be one of the weakest spring runoffs in memory this year. The snowpack is already disappearing, and the weather has been unseasonably warm and dry. This is reflected in streamflow measurements.

Fr. Glenn: Prepping For Inevitability
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Been having to do a few funerals lately in the little parish which I pastor on top of my main ministry, the latter being largely administrative (sigh). In large parishes, it’s normal to have one to several funerals each week, so I have it “easy” in that regard. We lost one of our archdiocesan priests on Good Friday, and a religious Sister working in Albuquerque a few days ago, too. Many priests and ministers live adjacent to cemeteries as well, and it helps to keep that inescapable reality always near to mind. Also, since Catholics and many other Christians pray for the dead, it helps Read More
