They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

Do I have this right? Trump says we're near a peace deal with Iran, but launches new military strikes of the missile sites and mine-laying boats that he obliterated last round, but it's ok because the goal is to open the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before #Iran closed it because of his attack?

Like he hasn't already debased the White House, literally and figuratively, enough.

I'm amused/annoyed at the claims Tom Steyer is trying to "buy" the governorship by spending lots of his own money. To me, that's preferable to the other candidates who are trying to "buy" the election by spending vast sums of money given to them by fossil fuel companies and other corporate donors.

More reasons to vote for Tom Steyer.

Luntz has long been a Republican mouthpiece and definer of their talking points, but it's hard to imagine here that he isn't actually trolling the White House.

Explain to me why oil company profits are exploding from Trump's Iran War. Doesn't this mean they're passing on MORE than just the increased costs to us?

Trump's war is putting massive new pressures on American farmers from rising fertilizer prices and shrinking markets, but #climate change and severe #drought in the US breadbasket is making the problem even worse. Here's the latest US drought monitor report.

Should we show our appreciation to Donald Trump for revealing who all the truly bad people are and bringing them out of their racist, sexist, white supremacist closets?

Trump's next round of Articles of Impeachment, once enough politicians find the backbone to compile them, are going to be very, very loooooooooong.

It's very sad that the United States, with perhaps the best climate science, scientists, and science communicators in the world, has consistently had the very worst climate-denying politicians and governments. Why? Simple: The powerful fossil-fuel industry and the money they shower on policymakers.

The US has become a rogue nation.

Cassidy now has six months to try to repair his legacy and reputation. He can start by pushing the impeachment of RFK Jr., since he's responsible for Kennedy being in charge of the destruction of the nation's health system. Any bets? www.nola.com/news/politic...

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

This is the greatest single act of corruption in the United States ever? Worth mentioning in news reports. Calling it "unusual" is .. not sufficient. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...
