NEW FROM POLITICO: Democrats are increasingly likely to win the midterms. Politico is reporting that investigating DOGE will be one of their first orders of business in a flipped Congress. We're getting closer to winning justice for the lives and livelihoods Musk harmed.

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

US executives quit as Trump turns control over massive Alaska energy project to Putin underlings. The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture says Russian energy giant Novatek was given control of the project by Trump, triggering a mass resignation of company leadership

New figures out today show we have already had more renewable energy investment this year than we had in 2025 and set a new Australian annual record. This shows that Australia's energy transition is building momentum.

In Chrysta Freeland's new book she states that Howard Lutnick threatened to invade Canada "by sundown" over Doug Ford's electricity surcharge. The fact that US trade negotiators put military threat on the table must be taken with the upmost seriousness. charlieangus.substack.com/p/they-threa...

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants the Trump administration’s stay request in the FCC political ads case—effectively absolving the FCC of any requirement to complete the administrative process regarding its relaxing of the “lowest unit charge” rule before the midterms. Justices Sotomayor & Jackson dissent.

I am here in Congress as Democratic Senators prepare to hear live testimony from those hit hardest by the Trump admin’s delegalization campaign—the largest effort in US history to strip protections and status from immigrants, many who have lived here for years.   Over 1 million are already impacted.
