We're entering a geopolitical world that divides green energy countries and oil countries that go to war to control access to oil

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

See that Rolex clock and gold bar?

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Thanks to @tilleckert.com @propublica.org for sticking with Ms. Moreta-Galarza today until she was discharged.
2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital.

“Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Last September, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, becoming the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. since Katrina in 2005.

As heavy rains swept through the Appalachian Mountains, homes near Asheville, North Carolina, and beyond were demolished.

Despite the destruction from Hurricane Helene, John Saunby saw pieces worth salvaging and decided to use the debris to build a new home.

It was great to see 50,000 visitors come to FABTECH 2025 here at McCormick Place.

Despite the escalating federal deployment by the Trump administration, Chicago’s role as a global destination was on full display — not just for manufacturing and business, but also for tourism.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media
