Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Damn, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Republicans are trying to kill a program their own voters depend on. 77% of ACA marketplace enrollees live in Trump states. This shutdown is a healthcare hit job on their own base.

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’
“Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?”

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

“WE MAKE, THEY TAKE”

From @moreperfectunion.bsky.social — 50 billboards across 8 states are driving home the message that working Americans (teachers, nurses, etc) keep 🇺🇸 running, but billionaires keep taking more & more.

Share if you agree.

Winsome Earle-Sears doesn't care about us. She wouldn't listen to me, and she had no answer for why she supports ripping health care away from 350,000 Virginians to give Elon Musk and the billionaires more tax breaks.

National Park Service officials have removed park signs referencing climate change, slavery, Japanese internment during World War II, and the nation’s treatment of Native Americans.
