One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Why is @zeitlin.bsky.social of @heatmap.news covering Travis Fisher as an "energy scholar at the Cato Institute," when Fisher is a fossil-energy lobbyist who coordinated the climate-denying DOE report justifying repeal of the Endangerment Finding, ruled unlawful by a Federal judge just last Friday?

As someone who worked on the Dessler Report, the scientific response coordinated by @andrewdessler.com, I can tell you that the DOE report was filled with falsehoods — all meant to justify the gutting of US capacity to regulate carbon dioxide

Why is @heatmap.news covering the work of its architect?

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.

Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

Friends, when the history of this sordid period of America is written — assuming it’s not written by historians trying to curry favor with a future fascist regime — I hope the leaders of American business are condemned to the hellfire they deserve for helping destroy American democracy.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

It’s so ironic that the same republicans hollering about how people need to show ID and prove citizenship just to vote(a basic right) are simultaneously saying that ICE agents should be completely anonymous and wear masks while they kidnap people and break into homes without judicial warrants🙃
