The U.S.’s top scientific advisory body issued a report on Thursday backing a growing field of science called extreme event attribution that could help governments hold oil, gas and coal companies responsible for the damage caused by extreme weather.

Trump will present his bogus conspiracy theories about voter fraud and the 2020 election once again tonight. The only reason he's doing so is to lay the groundwork for his midterm voter suppression scheme. Be warned.

Thank you to the 45 Senate Democrats who voted to block this bill (it required 60 votes to pass)! We must continue to hold the line to end the evil War on Iran & to prevent the US military’s integration with Israel’s.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul is enacting the nation’s first state-level moratorium on large-scale data center construction amid concerns over the impact of the facilities meant to support AI.

The CLARITY Act is the bill supported by the crypto industry to increase their reach into our banking system and broader economy. There are many problems with the bill, but most egregious is that is essentially legalizes Donald Trump's crypto corruption scheme. Let me explain.

Good to know this week that DHS has a 2-death limit.

The Taliban’s war on education: ‘Nobody talks about what is happening to the boys’

Iran insisted on Monday that it controlled the Strait of Hormuz — an assertion the U.S. has denied — as it launched a fresh barrage of strikes aimed at U.S. military assets throughout the Middle East. Follow live updates.

The longer we allow grandpa to rage post to distract from the EPSTEIN Files, the more danger he creates for the safety & security of the world. Any doubt he would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat if he thought it would benefit himself? I'm with Maj. Jason Watson: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE 🇺🇸

THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS CLOSED

"Basing more U.S. forces in Israel would empower even more reckless military aggression." Intel analyst @harrisonmann.bsky.social explains how Trump moving U.S. bases to Israel would further empower Israeli aggression and keep the U.S. entangled in war. Read the story — zeteo.com/p/trump-us-m...

US congressman says he was detained by armed Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank

Footage obtained by The New York Times, although incomplete, provides a window into the events that unfolded before federal immigration officers fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston this week.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Hunter Biden Lawsuit: Patrick Byrne Owes $1.7m in Damages www.mediaite.com/media/news/h...

Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims.

Two key thoughts: 1. Our regime is actively targeting & killing anyone they want without repercussions 2. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo wasn’t the target but they thought it was ok to use deadly force on ANYONE? Deadly force was never OK for anyone! They must be charged.

The ICE account is the same lies we’ve heard time and time again. This case also shows why masked agents operating from unmarked vehicles should not be conducting enforcement actions without clear, visible identification. When people don’t know who is confronting them,confusion quickly causes chaos!

Other nations are not going to continue to stand for their people being killed by ICE like this. Link: buff.ly/rKPxMSb

Trump's DOJ is threatening to arrest and imprison Oregon's Secretary of State on the basis of false claims about supposed widespread voting by non-citizens.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he could not articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if and when Iran flexed its control over the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Trump is cornered, and he’s going stark-raving mad.

At least two structural columns buckled and failed in a 37-story office tower in Midtown Manhattan. The columns were part of the tower’s existing structure, and a New York Times review of images and videos has found that several floors were added atop these columns.

Catnip lotion as effective as Deet at repelling mosquitoes, study finds

Whether they call elections “stolen” or “rigged,” election deniers’ claims of widespread voter fraud are still false. The change in rhetoric is simply an attempt to soften their conspiratorial ideas to appeal to a wider base. But it also reveals an unsettling reality.

Dear America: PLEASE WATCH

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Happy 250, America! The country may be far from perfect, but that’s exactly the reminder that our work is never finished. It will always be worth fighting for. And we will never give up on the values and principles that truly make this country great. Happy 4th 🇺🇸

America is destroying itself. It’s no surprise | Stephen Marche

If you’re feeling conflicted about the weekend’s festivities, we understand. But this isn’t the Trump 250th. This is America’s 250th — and that means a celebration of and recommitment to a founding ethos that we’ll never bow down to a king or accept tyranny against our neighbors.

Just one day before he announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping tariffs, Trump's investment accounts made stock purchases worth as much as $12.8 million. Then when Trump announced the pause, the S&P soared nearly 10% — one of the biggest single-day gains in the index’s history. Unusual indeed.

The fair’s main contractor was also behind the ellipse event just prior to the January 6th attacks, and has raked in $39 million in federal contracts since 2025 👇

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

Here it comes. Suddenly, they’re way beyond Noem/Bovino-era numbers. “Arrests topped out on Saturday when authorities detained over 2,400 people”—which is probably the closest they’ve come to Stephen Miller’s 3,000-per-day quota.

After his DOJ backed Roundup-maker Bayer in a landmark SCOTUS case limiting lawsuits against the company, Trump's EPA is now giving the greenlight for even more toxic pesticides and forever chemicals to be used on crops. How the hell is this Making America Healthy Again?
