Trump bankrupted several companies before stealing the presidency. He is now bankrupting the US. And he is in the Epstein Files.

If you're looking for someone who can drive Japan's long-standing allegiance with the U.S. to China, Trump is your man.

President Kennedy's family created the profile in courage award in 1989 to honor Kennedy and to recognize political bravery. The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum announced Twin Cities residents have earned the Profile in Courage Award.

JB Pritzker has proposed "Project 2029" for Democrats, arguing for a structured, proactive agenda to restore the rule of law. It includes holding members of the current Trump administration and federal agents accountable for breaking the law. I like this man more each time I hear him speak.

This is definitely not "leaving it to the states." The Trump plan is to force blue states to stop providing any insurance that covers abortion, and thereby reduce access and create hardship.

3rd thing: Maybe the economy isn’t as bad as they say it is for some of us? There’s capital to start a $50/month floral bouquet service. Build it, promote it, staff it, all the shit that goes into it… Investors think that will be a sustainable, profitable business. In America. Right now. What?

"It's a question of where’s that money's going? And you've handed over our private patient data to Palantir, a company with far-right connections. If that money was instead going into the front line, we might all have a better chance of having a better NHS" Caroline Lucas on the NHS on #BBCQT

Almost three months after the US effectively imposed an oil blockade on Cuba that worsened its energy crunch, nearly every aspect of Cuban society has been feeling the strain.

While the average full-time salary is roughly £39,000, the argument made by the Treasury and various think-tanks is that, in a "no-Brexit" world, that same worker would likely be earning closer to £42,500 today. Thanks Nig!

How would you feel about reducing your income by 8%? What would you have to give up? How would your life change? The thing is, since leaving the EU, our income is approximately £3,000 lower than it should be, despite a growing economy. We’re taking 1 step forward and two steps back.

Ossoff: "This is what I describe as their 'Dear Leader problem.' Bc in this admin it's unacceptable ever to contradict the president's words, & bc the president is a pathological liar, our intel officials twist themselves into knots avoid committing perjury while never contradicting the White House"

We spend billions on flood defenses, then clear the wetlands and forests that prevent floods for free. One acre of wetland can hold 1.5 million gallons of floodwater. Cheaper than concrete walls. 🏞️

Peter Thiel's pal James Orr is a slippery shyster of an ideologue. Like Farage, he wants to hand over the NHS to profit-seeking interests, but doesn't have the honesty to say so. Caroline Lucas asks the #bbcqt audience "Do you believe this man?" Clearly, they don't. 👏👏👏

De Niro: I’ve played plenty of tough, scary guys in the movies—but you know what really scares the hell out of me? What this government—our government—is trying to do to take away our right to vote…

By day six, CSIS put the cumulative cost at $12.7 billion. Today, it is likely to have exceeded $18 billion – and the meter is still running. We analyzed where America’s war dollars are going, in a war that was never declared in the first place 👇

Tajikistan’s 110-truck “humanitarian” convoy to Iran is raising alarms. Russia used similar convoys to mask weapon shipments in 2014.

Shit show.

The normalization of US aggression in Iran and Russian aggression in Ukraine is also climate policy. Stabilizing the climate system requires global cooperation. Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 1. Great Powers are walking away from this towards a militant, post-Holocene scramble.

Warming at 0.35°C per decade. 1.5°C by 2030. The UN Charter promised self-determination for all peoples. The Post-Holocene is destroying this promise. Climate change is now a material threat to the survival of peoples, in addition to armies and occupations.

Greenpeace has been hit with a $345 million verdict over its role in protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Incredible threat to planetary defenders and the right to protest by the US legal system. Meanwhile, high-emissions States keep emitting.
