In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.
But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?
Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?
ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

PDX, the regime is tweaking out over the fact that they can't get us to riot.
They are frantic to get us to do something to justify their extremism.
Do not give them what they want. They want to manufacture a war. Don't let them.
We have to power to deprive them. So deprive them.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.
