GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

Today in Los Angeles, people are standing in solidarity with hunger strikers at facilities across the country, holding vigil and holding the line. From coast to coast, people are saying NO to mass detention and the cruelty happening inside these facilities. Close Delaney Hall, Close Them All.

An 18-year-old high school student just built a water filter that removes 96% of microplastics from drinking water. Not in a billion-dollar lab. In her garage. Meet Mia Heller from Virginia. Her secret? A magnetic liquid called ferrofluid that grabs microplastic 1/3

Trump has ordered a massive military buildup in the Caribbean. After months of lethal strikes at sea, Trump is threatening to expand this illegal unauthorized war to Venezuela. We don’t need another war. We need health care for all.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
