You all realize we will have three nominees in 2028 IF WE EVER HAVE ANOTHER ELECTION

An Independent, a Republican and a Democrat

Independents won’t win. Jill Stein will trot back out.

So we are down to two. Anything other than a Democrat vote is a vote to continue what we have now!

FULL STOP!

Trump has gotten away with violently trying to overthrow the government. Whatever Epstein and his accomplices had on him must be far worse than what we already know and what's in the Epstein files. Trump has gotten away with so much yet he's terrified of Epstein. The truth will come out eventually.

Remember the claim that we couldn't force a rush to renewables too soon, because it just wouldn't be fair to "developing nations" (i.e. the global majority world)? Welp, turns out they're willing and eager to get in on renewables, and are doing really, really well with them. So.

Developing countries, especially China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the US and EU relied more than before on planet-warming fossil fuels for electricity generation." 2/2

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

NEW: A copy of the arrangement with Eswatini that Mother Jones reviewed shows that the US has agreed to pay the only absolute monarchy in Africa $5.1 million to take in up to 160 ICE detainees.

ICE is sending people to a prison in Africa’s only absolute monarchy

THIS IS TRUMP'S SHUTDOWN
AMERICANS ARE PAYING THE PRICE

The government shutdown keeps snarling air travel. Officials say it could get worse

A dozen facilities saw air traffic control shortages on Monday, delaying flights at several airports. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed "a slight tick-up in sick calls" due to the shutdown.

In a Chicago suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE goons and a cameraman surrounded a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demanded his ID and threatened to arrest him for impeding their audit.

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you probably privately agree on this much:

Trump and his lawyers—Bondi and Patel—are ACTING like the Epstein Files include smoking-gun evidence of Trump raping kids.

They are ACTING like a domestic military escalation is worth distracting us from the Files.

“When in our history have we tolerated unlawful riotous assemblies night after night around FBI buildings, or ATF buildings, or DEA buildings?” Miller said during an interview on CNN. “This is the textbook definition of domestic terrorism.”

Really Stephen?

This is truly horrifying.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach…with Antifa."

Good on Kelly & Gallego!

Johnson is holding the country hostage. Arizona sent Adelita Grijalva to represent them, but Johnson’s refusing to swear her in until he gets his way on the shutdown. Blocking a duly elected member is fascist blackmail.
Ripping away healthcare while obstructing justice.
