“…in addition to a climate problem, the world has political problems, “with leaders in the United States and other countries for whom ‘drill, baby drill’ is the predominant ethos and policy. It’s an absolutely immoral reality we’re facing … an utter political disaster.”

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

“According to Beachwood Police, once the books are overdue, the man will be sent a bill for them; if the bill is not paid, it will be sent to collections. IGAH says…for each book…burned, they are donating 10 books related to race, religion, and LGBTQ+ topics to libraries across the community.”

MURRAY: How many staff have been cut from the NIH's clinical center? I want a specific number RFK Jr: I can't tell you that MURRAY: That's not acceptable

and by “parents” they mean “women.” getting us out of the workplace was always one of the key motivations behind the attack on DEI.

Dereliction of duty.

We should be helping ordinary Americans on Main Street, not super wealthy Americans who don’t need another tax cut.

Wonder what changed?? 💰 💰 💰 🤷🏼‍♂️

Priorities.

BREAKING NEWS: Michigan Court of Claims judge has ruled the 24-hour waiting period for abortion is unconstitutional. It "burdens and infringes upon patients’ rights to reproductive freedom," judge rules. This is a huge win for Michigan women.

The GOP says they’re going after “fraud and abuse” in Medicaid, but what they’re really doing is cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from a program that delivers care to the poorest Americans.

Climate determines how, when, and where we grow crops — as well as how we allocate water, design infrastructure, plan for risk, and much more. Climate info isn’t optional: it’s necessary. And when it’s changing so quickly, it’s even more vital. Without it, we're driving blindfolded into the future.

Helping the U.S. gets you banned, being white gets you a welcome mat. Got it.

this would be the kind of scandal that demands resignation if these people had any commitment to public service!

You can’t make this up

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

wow, wonder who was president when no one was flying during covid?

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's threat to suspend habeas corpus? How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's "gift" from Qatar? How many Republicans--and other Republican-adjacent elites--put the Constitution above Trump? The sad answer: vanishingly close to zero.

periodic reminder that this White House has never put out any analysis of their trade policy. Literally not even a single chart. They barely understand what they’re destroying.

Every time a new scandal is reported from the Trump admin, which is every few hours, their first reaction is to call the story fake news, their second reaction is to vow to hunt down and jail the leakers, and their third reaction is to threaten the media company who published it.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

THIS is the most devastating constitutional crisis.

People who never read books now in charge of books.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica
