What an astonishingly dishonest piece of propaganda for the fossil fuel industry, including its citing of Obama's extremely outdated energy policies and its misrepresentation of Norwegian public opinion.

"Nobody can believe what's going on" That's true! www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

it really feels like the end is near for Mike Johnson's speakership after a critical mass of House Republicans this morning forced a vote on ACA subsidies over his resistance

Bloop indeed, though I would be not be confident Vance wins the primary

Die, kids. The cuts include initiatives for catching autism early, which is super helpful in letting kids thrive — in case you think RFK Jr is serious about autism as a concern

"The fact that we don't even debate gun control. We don't even debate AI... These are kind of important things for the future of the country." Bill Kristol and Tim Miller discuss the absence of serious debate about phenomena shaping American life. lnk.thebulwark.com/49cSE61?utm_...

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

The subheading to this article is "The images, released without context by Democrats on the Oversight Committee, reveal little new about the deceased sex offender’s ties to prominent men in politics, entertainment and finance." Really, NYT?🤔 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

Last night’s “affordability” rally was a gift to the Democrats. Trump championed austerity and said tariffs are making farmers rich. Midterm ads will replay it nonstop. You will not find a single farmer who says they got rich from his tariff policy.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

BREAKING: More than one dozen new photos have been dropped by the Oversight Committee showing Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and others with Jeffrey Epstein. I have them here: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Delia Ramirez to Kristi Noem: "Resign or be impeached. Whatever you choose, the American People will have justice."

Excellent summary! Narrative matters. Appreciate @ariellaelm.com for this work - read & share widely!

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

Lashing out at reporters. Falling asleep at meetings. Misremembering basic facts. Donald Trump appears to be totally losing it. Be warned.

The Trump team knows the economy is going badly. Thats why he’s on the road and why they’ve stopped releasing jobs, GDP, and inflation numbers. Good luck blaming Biden for an economy of the GOP’s creation with 70% of Americans saying their costs are up.

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

Not a bad night!

🚨 NEW: Andrea Velez and Javier Ramirez are American citizens. ICE detained them anyways. Why? They looked undocumented. Today, they speak out, sharing their stories. Please repost this and share their experiences. ICE has detained 170 American citizens since January 20th.

“An ICE agent lured Wilmer out of his home under false pretenses, posing as a construction worker who claimed to have hit Wilmer’s car and needed him to step outside to verify. Another agent, accompanied by a dog, was hiding nearby and released the dog on Wilmer shortly after he stepped outside.”

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days. Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend. Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

When a student reaches out to me for career advice, or any advice, my internal response is: Thank you! Thank you for giving me an opportunity to give back, to add value. I have come to realize that this is what gives my job meaning. In other words, students, don't be shy, contact your instructors!🤓

An absolutely stunning chart:

It's exciting that there is reason to be cautiously excited about this!

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Thank you for speaking out, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social!

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Their goal is not complicated: This is a deliberate strategy to defund and privatize public education in America. This is moving us in exactly the wrong direction. I call on the Department of Education to immediately reverse course and do its job: strengthen our public schools, not dismantle them.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social killing it.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

BREAKING: The House just passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, 427-1. Republican Clay Higgins was the lone 'no' vote.
