Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.

If there’s one thing that can defy the political gravity of Trump, it’s that our electoral system for both primaries and general elections is set up such that ~95% of incumbent members of Congress are effectively unbeatable until they voluntarily retire or die.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.
Why is no one talking about this?
