This is a five-alarm warning to every job and industry that relies on our sandy beaches and beautiful bluffs for its livelihood. Soon, you too could see your environment for sale to Big Oil, Elon Musk, and any other high bidder that buys its way into the White House ballroom.

Hundreds of thousands of people will march in France this weekend. The vast majority will be unmasked and white. They will be protesting against the cost of living and poor public services. Don't listen to rightwingers trying to tell you otherwise.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

Russia has waged an illegal war against Ukraine under Putin, wounding and killing civilians every day. He's a ruthless autocrat and war criminal — not a humanitarian.

Trump agrees with Steve Witkoff's statement that Putin is a "humanitarian"
