Has a single PENNY allegedly saved by DOGE been used to help the American people. ONE PENNY. Where is that money going too? Where is the accounting of that money? what will be done with it? Why is this being hidden?

Listen up folks.
Democratic Sen. Jack Reed is not some partisan bomb-thrower. He is a serious, trusted voice on military policy.

If he says that his 15-minute meeting with Pete Hegseth was a disaster, then that means Pete Hegseth will be a disaster for our military.

I was a grad student when the 2007 IPCC report came out, the two highest emissions pathways predicted warming of 3.4 or 4 degrees. "A bit less than 3C" is still too high, but thanks to activists, scientists, and policymakers we have brought the number down. Our climate future is still being written.
New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social about our climate future. With current policies, we’re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs we’re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges we’re on track for a bit less than 2C.

Something many of us know but still it's useful to have it rigorously established and formalized in this manner:
Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
