Pete Buttigieg: “One thing that would make a huge difference is if we selected our president by letting the person who got the most votes actually take the office instead of the National Electoral College”

"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.

We must come to terms with the fact that anything that Donald Trump or any member of his administrations says is automatically a lie.

Mainstream media is starting to cover the dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service. Thank you for speaking out and helping keep this story alive. #SaveUSFS

I love to watch Mark Kelly spar with Kegsbreath #USDemocracy

My thoughts are that this prediction is not looking great.

👏👏👏👏👏👏💯⬇️

The ignorance of the people who vote for these criminals is why we are where we are. Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

@apnews.com We need the media to tell truth to power, not to cower!

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

These solar canals are made with bifacial solar panels that pull in sunlight from both sides. They generate power not just from the top, but also from light reflected off the water in the canal below. #solarcanals #energysky

Corn ethanol serves no purpose and is purely a handout to farmers. It costs more and emits more than normal petroleum. And it takes up half as much land area as all urban and suburban land in the US. If we replaced the land with solar, we'd get 3x as much power as the US uses.

#Sweden is electrifying everything that moves — trucks, buses, ferries, and mining vehicles — building the world's most complete 0-emission transport system. While most countries are focused on getting private EVs onto roads, Sweden has been electrifying every category of transport #ActOnClimate

No Additional Funds until they Pass an Audit!!! The Pentagon has failed its yearly audit 7 years in a row and is unable account for $820 billion in expenditures. But y'all are worried about the mom buying a birthday cake for her kid with SNAP?

DT admin is spending OUR tax$$ to buy off offshore wind companies and prevent this plentiful source of low cost green energy from coming online. All while causing a crisis in FF markets. In what world does this make sense?

apnews.com/article/trum... Trump administration announced payouts for energy companies to walk away from US offshore wind projects under development. Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind have agreed to end their offshore wind leases in exchange for reimbursements totaling nearly $900 million.

Wow! Droness have sure changed the way war can be conducted. And you can build a whole lot of them for one missile.

Well, this changes things up here in Maine. What a surprise. Platner looking stronger every day! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u...

🇺🇦🇬🇧 Zelensky: I thank His Majesty King Charles III, the UK, and all valiant American hearts for this clarion call for unity in support of Ukraine across the Atlantic. This is exactly what is needed to bring dignified and lasting peace to Ukraine and all of Europe.

This is DTs America ⏬️

The masked ICE thug who killed Renee Good got 3 days of administrative leave. The guy who posted an anti-Trump photo of seashells faces 10 years in prison.

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.

Dear Melania, Your husband just literally posted a video of a woman being beat to death in a parking lot. But do go on...

After all this time, all this history, I still struggle with such a basic question: How can you compel people to destroy people's lives and livelihoods, while convincing them that they're doing good?

BREAKING: A Virginia court has REJECTED the Republican lawsuit challenging the legislature’s authority to alter the 2021 congressional map. The new map could give Democrats up to four more seats in Congress.

Sweet Jesus. This wave coming at the same time the tech bros are looking for massive sites for data centers is not going to end well.

The entire budget request for the National Park Service in 2026 was about $2 billion. When any federal lawmaker ever tells you there isn’t enough money for something, they’re lying to you.

Facts are still pouring in, but one thing we know for sure is that there are too many guns this country in the hands of too many people who should not own a firearm.

I just got on X by mistake. What a hellhole. Nice to be back home in a (mostly) sane place. 👋🙂

Don’t sleep on the fact that the first part is also wrong

Al Gore: “This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

This is the plan to destroy the US Forest Service, one of the greatest land management and research organizations in the world. Congress can stop it.🌳🌲⏬️

"Early research quantifying the economic impact of ICE raids in Oxnard estimates direct crop losses of $3 billion to $7 billion with significant spillover into other sectors of the economy."

Going back 2000 years really brings our current warming into perspective. Carbon pollution is remaking our climate. Thanks @edhawkins.org for the great visual.

Not voting is akin to voting for the one you don't want to be elected

🔥New in IJWF: Zhao et al. evaluate two common tools for estimating fine dead fuel moisture. The Wiltronics meter performed best at low FMC, while the 10-h fuel stick often underestimated moisture and responded more slowly to environmental change. 🔗https://doi.org/10.1071/WF25174 #IJWildlandFire

Solar globally skyrocketed 29% in 2025! Solar up ~600 TWh, the most ever in one year of any generation source, outside of rebound years. All RE up 8.5%. Now 34% of total power. Nuclear up 1.2%. Wind additions rose 40% to record 160 GW in 2025! iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/ade8f... #energysky

Most developed countries have now submitted the 2026 editions of their formal greenhouse gas emissions inventories to the UNFCCC. You can check out how their 2026 edition compares to earlier editions on my website: robbieandrew.github.io/country/?cou...

Another example demonstrating that the federal science and research ecosystem is being seriously damaged regardless of what’s ultimately appropriated

While Trump gave tax cuts to billionaires, 70,000 Arizonans have already lost their health insurance this year because of rising costs. I’m working to lower premiums and protect Medicaid so our families can keep their doctors and rural clinics can keep their doors open.

Oh, good grief. ThenIranians open the Strait while US vows to continue blockade. Crazy days... www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/w...

Data centers are increasingly unpopular, they use enormous amounts of water/electricity and have displaced residents. Maine recently passed the first statewide ban on them, and Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez support legislation to pause them www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
