“Trump exempted 202 facilities in 39 states..from clean-air regulations..Some were among the country’s worst industrial polluters, including chemical manufacturers, copper smelters and coal-burning power plants. About 3.3 million people live within three miles of at least one affected facility”

“When DC politicians know there’s a deadline on their time in office, maybe, just maybe, they’ll spend less time protecting their careers and more time protecting the working class.” It’s time for term limits.

Among many oddities in this farkakte* lawsuit: it's signed only by DOJ #3 Stan Woodward and a long-serving Assistant U.S. Attorney in Alaska. The actual U.S. Attorney isn't on it. Maybe he ordered his subordinate to take one for the team. * -- Yiddish for "facially absurd on multiple fronts"

Honoured to attend the commemorations of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Budapest. 70 years ago, Hungarians rose up against oppression. They fought for freedom, democracy and justice. The very values at the heart of Europe today. Their courage lives on.

Throwback to 1995! 📸 Then and now, Alaska is at the heart of who I am. I owe everything to this state and our people, and that’s why I’m fighting so hard to deliver for our communities and protect our way of life.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social www.thedailybeast.com/how-donald-t... Lawrence, thx for DR interview & once again taking off the gloves to expose how deep the TRAITOR Trump's treason runs. Aiding & abetting the enemy during a war is treason. No need to split the hairs of a pedophile on that one.

You should see the Republican ads in Maine supporting Collins and LePage. They accuse Jackson and Dunlap both of supporting rapist and abusers. It's salatious and disgusting. Some of the dirtiest politics I've ever seen...72 years. The GOP is sick sick sick. There is a hell for these creeps.

Eisenhower integrated the military and warned against the military industrial complex, are we sure Sec Petey of Petty wasn’t just having a temper tantrum? We’re talking about the very mean, stupid General who his Daddy hates as much as the Kennedys, Roosevelts and Lincoln.

“Come on up to Alaska with your data centers. We got gas, we got land, we got water, we got it all. Come on up.” – Dan Sullivan That’s our gas, our land, and our water he’s offering up. And when data centers drive up energy prices, Alaska families will be the ones footing the bill.

NCSU Dem reposted

You know who can’t afford these gas prices? Hardworking Alaska families.   You know who can? Multimillionaire Dan Sullivan, who voted 14 times to extend the price-hiking Iran war.  Alaskans can’t afford six more years of Dan Sullivan.

From 1982-2018 the RNC that Rodgers invokes was under a federal consent decree that restricted its ability to engage in "ballot security measures" to intimidate voters. This is why. There is a reason Rodgers talks about Detroit and no other part of the state. Same reason as always.

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

what is amazing is that i was fired by MSNBC for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk. And CBS refuses to do anything about journalists telling lies about Dem. candidates. Unreal.

Text this to the friend who says nothing can be done about the Supreme Court: "Congress can impeach a chief justice. It takes a simple majority in the House. John Roberts gave presidents immunity. That's reason enough." Then send the letter yourself.

He's used "Shylock" like this repeatedly now, and it's not because he's familiar with Shakespeare. Guaranteed he picked up using it as a slur from his father because nobody younger than that says it.

Now that he has his Roy Cohn and Hitler’s Generals who he longed for in 1.0, he intends to destroy honorable US military into 2.0. He’s sadistic and is thrilled by causing fear. He and Hegseth will have them roided & amphed up, ready to commit Bucha. Their reward will be slaughter at the front.

WSJ OpEd | Obama’s Disrespect for the Law Outrageous that at this moment in time, the WSJ’s still calling Russia! Russia! Russia! a hoax. It’s as deceitful as Barr’s presser; Mueller’s (Barr’d from following the $) Report, was held for weeks while Trump, WSJ, Fox & Magop lied he’d been exonerated.

He should seek permission from Ella Langley and do an ad “Are you choosin’ Texas? Or choosin Elon.”
