Where is the US coverage of Trump’s confusion in Japan? He wandered off, randomly saluted, and during the signing ceremony, apparently watched the Prime Minister for clues on what to do. Most coverage is from international sites, like this: www.hindustantimes.com/videos/world...

Another attack on nature. The Trump Admin just opened over a million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling. It's important for everyone to know about this crisis. Once destroyed, it can't be undone. #protectthearctic #environment #nature #caribou

Oh I have been waiting on this one.
Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content.

On his work computer.

Read that again.

If we cease pumping carbon into the atmosphere (as we must), but continue destroying nature, we'll STILL collapse our liveable planet.

We need to stop doing BOTH, with equal urgency.

Our backwards progress on electric vehicles reminds me of the US auto industry in the 70s. US automakers put all their eggs in the gas-guzzling car basket. When the oil-crisis hit, they had no product line and lost significant market share to foreign companies. #ev #renewableenergy #auto

Is there a word for voluntarily ceding market share in an industry for no apparent reason, as the US is doing by ending EV tax credits? An unforced error or maybe a noncompetitive or nonstrategic withdrawal? #ev #renewableenergy #auto manufacturers

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?
June 2, 2025 at 5:28 PM
Does Joni Ernst need a wellness check? If she believes that it's foolish to prolong life, she may have stopped going to the doctor, taking medicines, or could be displaying risky behaviors. Aggressive behavior and increased risk-taking are associated with cognitive impairment. #death #joniearnst
