Raskin: "He believes if he holds his breath and turns purple like Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Supreme Court will come out and do whatever he wants them to do. And he's got some reason for thinking that."

Remember the "why won't protesters thank Trump for bringing peace to the Middle East" news cycle? That was fun.

Sounds like an order by Trump. And I'm old enough to remember when this absolute moron fancied himself an environmentalist.

Back when he was still mainly known as an environmentalist he fought a wind farm project that was gonna ruin his beach house view and that’s when I said, “oh, so he’s actually terrible.”

The Mamdani Effect? Alabama’s top election official wants to ban naturalized citizens from running for state office.

I just got back from NYC several months ago and I have never in my life seen a greater share of families riding public transit, especially late at night, anywhere else in the United States of America. The subway was the safest mass transit I've been on anywhere in the US

"Fidel" sent this photo saying we are covering the grapevines in Delano CA with plastic as it's supposed to rain later. The plastic helps protect these late season grapes from rot and mold that can damage the fruit. #WeFeedYou

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children. The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children. Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.

Nick Fuentes: "It was December 18...That's Joseph Stalin's birthday. I'm a fan." Tucker Carlson: "You're a fan of Stalin?" Nick Fuentes: "Always an admirer." Tucker Carlson: "Well that's uh...Okay. We'll circle back to that." Spoiler: Tucker never circles back.

Driving around today I have yet to go through one intersection without at least one homeless or poverty stricken person holding up a sign asking for money. Not one. And we called this civilization?

The USDA has $6 billion in contingency reserves for occasions like this. The Trump regime is making a purely political choice (one that is illegal of course) to stop paying SNAP benefits. They believe that if 40 million Americans start going hungry, Democrats will get the blame, helping Trump.

30,000 jobs *poof* gone, which would be fine if automation actually benefitted us all instead of just massively enriching a few soon-to-be trillionaires while depressing incomes for most everyone else. Both universal basic income and healthcare need to be part of our more automated future. Or else.

The first Gilded Age was an era of conspicuous consumption. The second Gilded Age that we're living in is an era of conspicuous corruption. Look no further than the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom — and what business they have with the government.

The Trump administration sees Charlie Kirk's murder as a 9/11 type event. His death inspired a whole new counterterrorism strategy embodied by NSPM-7 www.kenklippenstein.com/p/magas-911-...

It is financial insecurity that underlies so much poor mental and physical health. The constant stress of just trying to survive takes its toll. Universal Basic Income would greatly improve our health and lead to substantial savings in our healthcare costs by providing a stable financial foundation.

SHOCKING: Global use of coal hit record high in 2024. We must change course, choosing a different path and making polluters, not people, pay.

Universal Basic Income became a right the moment private ownership was added to the social contract. UBI is the opposite side of that coin. If we are to accept society's rule that we shouldn't take other people's stuff even if we need it, then society must guarantee we have access to what we need.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Hurricane Melissa makes landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, the strongest direct hit to the island in 174 years.

Analysis: On Sunday night, meteorologist Matthew Cappucci flew through the eye of Hurricane Melissa. The once-in-a-lifetime glimpse into meteorology was stunning, but also horrifying.
