The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation—the ocean system that stabilizes Earth’s climate—is weakening as global warming melts Greenland and freshens the seas. Its collapse could flood coasts and trigger mass migration. Civilization hangs in the balance.

A pro-voting group sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, accusing him of scheming to suppress the rapidly-growing power of the state’s Latino voters. If Paxton prevails, it could reshape the landscape for organizations working to expand voter turnout.

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

Jeffrey Epstein was running a child sex ring in Florida. Yet for some reason when Pam Bondi served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 she never charged him. She did prosecute others for being sexual predators but not Epstein. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-need-to...
We need to know why Pam Bondi did not investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?!
Was Bondi protecting Trump?!

"(Hitler's) feeling for men is not that they co-exist, but that they are capable of being arranged and standardized by a superior intellect...." - E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web

An insistence that power should follow "superiority" is essential to fascism.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Just so we're clear, the DOJ is fighting AGAINST the California redistricting effort WHICH VOTERS APPROVED, but is fine with the Texas redistricting that occurred WITHOUT voter input.

Is this a federal prison sentence or a comped stay at a Trump Hotel?

I know I’m a broken record at this point, but I cannot believe the media has largely ignored Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he’s pardoning. Like, every day he’s pardoning at least a handful of people, and he has no idea who the hell they are. They’re just buying a pardon. What the fuck?

The Trump regime has blown up 21 boats and murdered 83 people without providing any evidence that they were doing anything wrong. If this keeps up, their next step will be to blow up Americans too. You watch. And they won't provide any evidence that the Americans were doing anything wrong either.

Trump tells the GOP to vote to release the files, and he’ll give them whatever they’re “legally entitled to.” How long before he tells everyone they’re legally entitled to nothing because of the open and ongoing “investigation” he opened into a “hoax”?

Many of you have been asking what our active military members have been doing in regards to the obviously questionable orders of a mentally disabled psychopath and his drunk SoW.

They're seeking outside counsel.

Which is a pretty big flashing neon sign.

This memo justifying Trump's boat murders is ugly stuff. DOJ lawyers take the White House's version of reality as gospel and use that as the basis for their case.

But note what the memo says about future prosecutions of people carrying out these orders. It's a tell:

Trump is cutting funding that helps end homelessness.

And now, over 170,000 people are at risk of being pushed out of homes and back onto the streets.

We’re in a housing crisis.

The solution isn’t kicking people out of their homes – it’s building more housing.
