Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home today, telling Republicans to “make the case” to their constituents. Don’t let them lie about what their big, ugly bill did. Here’s the truth.

I used to be a Social Security trustee. The real reason the program is in trouble has nothing to do with the postwar baby boom or increasing life expectancy. It's because of widening inequality. Watch.
So erudite and eloquent, besides delivering sick burns.
🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

The practical solution offered will not be implemented by the current US president, so we appear to be stuck, at least until the regime changes.
Interesting Analysis of the US conundrum in Iran by Prof. Jiang, who asks, “Can America stop this war. Can it negotiate a ceasefire. Can it withdraw. Can it find a way out. The answer — when you look at it carefully — is deeply unsettling.”

This might be the best we can hope for from a politician. Yes, education and opportunity are very important, but without contraceptive health services, and the freedom to use them, girls and women will still be co-creating more offspring than they would otherwise prefer.
Exactly what we stand for. "When young women are getting proper schooling...they're less likely to have children early, smaller families, populations stabilize. And so it actually ends up helping not only those young women succeed and look after their children, but it also helps the environment."

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it. Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...
Remember the lovely "No Pest strips" hanging in almost every home in the early 1970s?
Hey Ace Hardware, why are you selling this dangerous neurotoxic, cancer-causing insecticide? Its been banned in many places for most uses. One of the worst on the market. Folks: that "deep penetrating vapor" reaches you too. Dichlorvos is a nasty, poisonous organophosphate neurotoxin.🧪

This project must be stopped. The OTC has been possessed by the ghost of Robert Moses and can't stop themselves. An intervention is desperately needed. Once they are freed to attend to neglected projects, they will be happier and billions will go to better uses.
ACTION ALERT! The Oregon Transportation Commission votes Thursday to consider pausing the $2,000,000,000+ proposal to double the width and number of freeway lanes for the Rose Quarter Freeway. Join No More Freeways in demanding OTC direct ODOT to pause the expansion: nomorefreewayspdx.com/pauserq/
It does no good to promote awareness of overshoot when so many couples don't have the contraceptive health services they need to avoid conceptions. This denial of a basic human right affects people in areas with the worst effects of the climate crisis. Offspring can't be cared for and will suffer.
20 million people have lost access to contraceptive care due to cuts to US foreign aid for family planning. This is a crisis we can stop. US policymakers must restore global family planning assistance.

New in PN: Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy "As they craft a radical budget bill, they're making claims as absurd as anything Trump offers, all adding up to a fantasy of the future so improbable that to examine it for a moment is to understand how ridiculous it is."
