This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Remember that this is what the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill was all about. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Why would any Democrat vote for a continuing resolution that greenlights this regime's cruelty?

www.npr.org/2025/09/30/n...

Trump administration uses taxpayer dollars to blame Democrats for government shutdown

We then looked at mentions of climate change in the abstract and title over time & saw an increase in these articles over the five year period. Many nursing research articles that looked at climate change in a holistic way also considered knowledge of climate change, sustainability & mental health.

I'm annoyed that the publication Wired seems to be deeply enmeshed with Amazon. So even though there is good reporting, I hesitate to read it.
