It's a fact

Voters in six states — including Idaho and Pennsylvania — approved conservation measures during elections last month. Vermont and Massachusetts are going beyond 30x30 conservation goals. While Trump and Big Oil are looking to destroy more public lands, voters are saying they want to protect them.

Liar Trump claims there was “no inflation” during his first term. Reality check: consumer prices rose about 8% from the first day of his term to the last day, with an inflation rate of 2.46%. Truth matters. Spread it around.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Penalizing a team bc the sideline celebrates too hard is sooooooooooo lame

The Trump phone was supposed to be released in August. It's December first, & still no sign of it. But don't worry! You can still pay the $100 deposit for a non-existent phone. Is this the latest edition of the Trump family's scams and ripoffs?

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

Bezos: ‘Over 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggle to feed their families and have a roof over their head, but YOU WANT to struggle so the billionaire class can hoard more wealth!’ For the record, my undergrad is in Economics. Don’t let these privileged fucks lie to you.

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories. So we made that list for you 👇

There’s an HIV prevention injection that could protect MILLIONS. But one company controls it. It’s time for Gilead to stop hiding behind restrictive patents, exclusionary licensing deals, & registration delays and start making this shot available to everyone who needs it.

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…

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors. It’s almost like…. It was never about that

Johnson's refusal to seat Rep.-elect Grijalva for SEVEN WEEKS wasn't just a disservice to the people of Arizona. It was a cheap partisan ploy to obstruct the democratic process. Oh yeah, and she also would be the breaking vote on releasing the Epstein files, so there's that.

Daily reminder: Poor people are not the problem in this country, billionaires are.

Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Congratulations to WFP champion @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on her swearing-in after weeks of stalling by Speaker Mike Johnson. Not only will families in Southern Arizona finally have representation in Congress, Americans are getting a fighter who's ready to hit the ground running.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Remember when presidents used to actually make speeches saying hunger in America should not exist because we were the greatest country in the world? Good times.

Exactly. I’m not worried about voter turnout as much as a fair election. I’m not confident. #nokings #epsteinfiles #swearherin #stayloud #pinks💕 #endICE #endshutdown #mikejohnsonisatool #nopedophilesallowed

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country. All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year. All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers. The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

NEW: Citing a ProPublica investigation, lawmakers are calling on the FDA to conduct more drug testing and to alert hospitals and other purchasers when foreign manufacturers with safety failures are given a special pass to send their products to the U.S.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Trump’s tariffs hit grocery bills hard: imported fruits & veggies could rise 5–7%, with Mexican tomatoes up 26–40%. Families may pay $2,600–$4,900 more a year for food—proof that tariffs are just hidden taxes at the checkout. #TariffTax

The Trump administration is also refusing to use the SNAP contingency reserves, set aside for this exact purpose.

So the government can spend $40,000,000,000 to bail out Argentina and $200,000,000 for Kristi Noem’s private jets. But when it comes to federal food assistance, "the well has run dry." This administration doesn't care about working people.

This is what happens when EPA cuts basic programs that they don’t understand. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/climate/kupnik-alaska-typhoon-trump-epa-flood.html

This is a chilling reminder that RFK Jr. is destroying our public health systems, threatening American lives, and undermining medical research. These Surgeons General are right: this is bigger than politics. For the health and safety of all Americans, RFK Jr. must resign.

The government is entered its 3rd week of the shutdown. But Trump isn't worried. Instead of ending the shutdown he'll be hosting another $1 MILLION per plate dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Guess the billionaire class can’t be bothered with the troubles of Americans missing paychecks.

In New Jersey a bill has been introduced to make sure data centers pay for electricity they use. This power surcharge would go toward modernizing the state’s electric grid.

Sometimes being an activist can feel defeating. But then I remember that humpback whales were considered so endangered that an entire Star Trek movie was made about them in the 80s. Now, because of the work of thousands, humpbacks are now a classified as a ‘species of least concern’.

"We will have more intense flooding events, the water quality would go down, fish species like trout would suffer, and the tourism dollars for local towns will be affected too." Gutting the Roadless Rule would hurt all of us while enriching polluters who destroy our planet for profit.

NEW: Democratic oyster farmer Graham Platner is the candidate best positioned to defeat Susan Collins in Maine's Senate race, according to a poll of likely voters conducted by Zenith Research for More Perfect Union.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek has ordered state agencies to take “any and all steps necessary” to fast-track solar and wind permits that must break ground by next year or likely miss out on a federal tax credit Congress is ending. With @opb.org
