Reducing emissions without phasing out fossil fuels is like being full after a big restaurant meal and telling the waiter to keep delivering new dishes to the table with a promise that your kids and your neighbor who is not even at the table will pay the bill.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin.

Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating.

Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business.

The list goes on.

We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

Global humanitarian funding has collapsed 53% in two years - from $43.3 billion in 2022 to $20.3 billion today. The United States alone dropped from $14.1 billion to $3.06 billion. No donor bloc is positioned to replace what's been lost. www.unhcr.org/news/speeche...

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

A 35-year-old Republican congressman high on cocaine paid a homeless 17-year-old girl $400 to have sex with him while she was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. That’s statutory rape.

But Trump nominated the congressman, Matt Gaetz, to be Attorney General of the United States.

This child, Rahaf Saleem Al-Bayouk was killed three days ago by Hamas militias during their attack on the al-Majaida family in Khan Yunis.

That same day, Hamas killed 7 Palestinians — including an elderly man, a woman, and two children.
