Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.
The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

1) If Hegseth ordered troops to "kill everybody" in that barbaric second strike, he should be arrested.

2) If Admiral Bradley followed what he damn well knew was an illegal order from Hegseth, he should be removed from duty, and court-martialed.

3) If Trump does nothing, he is a war criminal.

Tennessee Financial losses:
The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture projects Tennessee farmers will lose over $430 million in net farm-level losses for 2025, with some individual farms expecting to lose nearly $800,000. All because Republicans screwed over Tennesseans.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Immigration officers were sent to Chicago to detain and deport “violent offenders” that DHS said were released from jails because of “sanctuary” policies. The agency says it has arrested more than 4,000 people, but only about 120 of those have a criminal record.

DHS swept Chicago to get ‘the worst’ criminals. Many have no record.
Aggressive tactics in Chicago have been deployed in DHS’s “Operation Midway Blitz” to round up more than 4,000 people, only a small portion of whom have major criminal records.

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Any sucker who invested $12,500 in Melania Trump's memecoin scheme at its peak now has a measly $118 left. Buh-bye life savings!!

I’m sorry, but I don’t feel bad for these losers. Maybe now they’ll finally realize that ALL the Trumps are scamming grifters.

The President could die of natural causes very soon.
Mikie Johnson having "Trump" phone in to a rally for TN-7 seems like a very convenient way of usurping Trump's voice without actually having him present.

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. THEY DON'T HAVE A BACKUP TRUMP. IF HE DIES, THEY WILL TRY THIS
