It is very hard to overstate the evil of the fossil fuel industry.

When people finally do figure it out, it may be too late to undo the damage.
U.N. climate talks fizzle out 10 years after Paris accord
Nearly 200 countries at the U.N. climate summit reached a deal that didn’t include a road map to curtail use of fossil fuels, the main driver of climate change.

Today is a good day to read a newspaper
DHS claims that an accused murderer was released from a Charlotte jail and was “back onto North Carolina’s streets because of sanctuary policies.”

The local paper reported that was false.

So DHS quietly removed that statement—and never admitted they lied. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/c...

Trump ltook control of a chugging economy that had seen inflation moderate. All he had to do was declare victory that it was all due to him. Instead he embarked on tariffs and grifting, while targeting immigrants - all policies that have made economic conditions worse

Do YOU know what your Republican Member of Congress means when they say things like "high-risk pools?"

It means they want to go back to when people with pre-existing conditions like cancer could be denied coverage.
