There are phenomena that cannot be negotiated with. El Niño is one of them. No agreement, no summit, no well intentioned appeal to the reason of nations will stop the trade winds when they slow down or reverse, when warm water moves

This is an old post but it shows how corrupt he is.

a cool moment -- Kaitlin Collins tells Brad Lander that he won his primary live on air during an interview with him. Lander responds by saying, "I'm thrilled. I did not expect to be on air when the race was called."

AOC on the Reflecting Pool: They talked a bunch of smack. They said they had to repaint the pool, and now they’ve turned it into an actual swamp.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol... National NBC News poll finds 81% of Americans say there is more that divides than unites the wealthy and those who aren’t wealthy. Wealthy people “don’t have empathy right now because they’re not suffering how other people are suffering.”

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

Starmer’s Labour lost my vote many years ago, but I’ve got nothing but respect for this guy

These centers suck in more water and electricity than countless major cities, which's literally displacing communities and farmland and generating billions for the greedy owners! www.instagram.com/p/DZsqBpxH3hO/

Iran got sanctions removed, will continue missile program, their nuclear program stays intact, they’ll get $300B and confirmed they’ll continue to toll Strait of Hormuz. US lost hundreds of billions, has record high gas prices, Americans are dead, NO gains. Art of the fraud.

Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."

This story is chilling and should give every woman in America reason to think twice about their reproductive future. I have four children by if I were still a young woman, I would be afraid to get pregnant in the United States now. www.huffpost.com/entry/georgi...

Today I’ve been seeing posts from Russians all day: “Why are these drones targeting us? Why is there no fuel? Why is this happening to us?” And honestly, if after all this time they still don’t understand why, they probably never will. 1/2

So, is the new blue coating Trump had put in the Reflecting Pool supposed to be on the bottom or floating around in the water? Asking for a friend.

ZELENSKYY: You have all seen how Russia struck with drones our Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the most important Christian holy sites for entire Christian world. Attacking such places is crime against humanity. You can see our response to this attack in Moscow region this morning.

And remember children, it wasn't Superheroes and Action Heroes who changed their values, it was you.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

13 million dollars worth of poorly applied paint is peeling up in the Reflecting Pool. This boondoggle is a perfect metaphor for this presidency. Waste for waste's sake.

BREAKING: San Marcos just voted to prohibit data centers across the entire city. This is what happens when regular people stand up to the biggest corporations on earth. These corrupt bigshots may have money, but Texans still have the final say.

Every President here today-as different as we are-has tried our best to uphold the same values. The values John McCain believed in. The values Mitt Romney believed in. Not Democratic values. Not Republican values. American values. And they don't belong to one party. They belong to all of us.

I try not to be a doomer. In fact I strongly believe that if we wanted we could change the laws very quickly for the better. My disappointment is in my fellow citizens. They are the only reason I feel doom. They don’t seem to want to stop any of this by voting.

Huge win!! In partnership with Senator Lisa Murkowski, we protected the Ocean Observatories Initiative—critical sensors that are essential for managing our fisheries, forecasting weather, and understanding climate change.

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.
