“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Trump let ACA subsidies expire and Speaker Johnson refused to act. While Rs dragged their feet, Dems refused their effort to rip health care away from millions.  So we forced a vote by pressuring rank-and-file Rs, and passed a three-year extension to protect coverage. Senate must finish the job.

Trump, Vance and Noem, by declaring that the ICE officer was justified in shooting Ms. Good, have polluted the credibility of the results of any investigation that may follow. I think that was the point. Our government is the enemy of truth.

Our entire politics now is about our sundowning, failing, unpopular leader, whose powers are clearly ebbing, maniacally trying to find ways to restore his STRENGTH, POWER, and MANLINESS. Like seizing Greenland; taking VZ’s oil; killing men in boats; terrorizing US cities; bombing other countries.

Child advocates and politicians in five Democratic-led states decried the Trump administration’s move to freeze billions of dollars in child care grants and family assistance, saying it will cause long-term harm to some of the nation’s poorest families. https://wapo.st/4qFs2k3

America under Trump is the Upside Down. To paraphrase Rockin' Robin: It's like America but waaay crappier.

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

It's worth taking a moment to think about how, in an era of democratic recession & the growth of autocratic & oligarchic governance, many apologists for these developments invoke elitist justificatory discourses of 'meritocracy' & aristocracy—while the rulers they've empowered are dogshit stupid

What are all the people who don't like Trump's antics but voted for his "policies" thinking today?

Trump doesn't want regime change in Venezuela, just someone in the current regime who will give him the oil. He doesn't care about the people of Venezuela.

anybody notice that it went from Fentanyl to cocaine over night

This Is True......

"Nobody can stop us." This is what makes me uneasy about the future of our country. The fear that he may he right.

“I’m not worried - Republicans said the death ray is a hoax.”

Very surprising that the president who forced himself on women and girls without facing any consequences thinks he can force himself on countries without facing any consequences.

“No, I didn’t hear anything about Venezuela. I can’t comment on something I know nothing about. Excuse me, that’s my Covenant app’s alarm going off.” — Trump’s Johnson

Hey House Dems!! Where's the impeachment resolution? I think Massie and others in GOP might cosponsor... Better get crackin'!

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Do we want someone who at least hangs out with and covers up for pedophiles to be starting wars? Release the Epstein files! Don't get distracted!

Trump doesn't want to change regimes & free Venezuelans from tyranny, he wants a puppet chosen from the current regime who will hand him the oil. Neither Gonzalez or Machado will get power & Venezuelans will continue to be oppressed. It's a recipe for civil war w/US troops in the middle. Deja vu?

This Venezuelan war is not a war about drugs, human rights or geopolitics. It is an Imperialist action which will involve dirty deals, graft and corruption. Big Oil, the Trump family and their cronies will profit. The Constitution be damned.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Yeah Don,OLD Testament !.....

An interesting demographic, and a predictable one, I'd say.

If You're White In Chumplandia, The Laws DO NOT APPLY.......

Perfect....

Who agrees? ✋

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

The billionaires/oligarchs are like the pigs in Animal Farm who said, yeah, we're all equal, but some of us are more equal than others. This is a result of money in politics. It is a known result of the wealthy being able to buy influence. We MUST get $$ out of politics. #ExistentialThreat

Because Trump is an idiot and crap business person who bankrupts and Elon is a toxic narcissist who thinks because he is good at one thing he is good at everything: How Did DOGE Disrupt So Much While Saving So Little? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

I'm old enough to remember when right wingers thought military exercises in Texas were an "invasion." But when Trump sends the military into Portland and Chicago, not a peep from those folks.
