We the people must unite behind a clear understanding of Senator Murphy's incisive analysis:
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Senate Democrats can’t surrender. Make sure your senator votes NO on cloture and doesn’t cave on the extreme MAGA spending bill. 👇

To paraphrase Paul Simon, where have you gone, Marco Rubio. Our nation turned our broken hopes to you.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Given that Elon endorsed Germany's AfD, there is zero chance this was happenstance. He did it twice, the second time to our flag. While biting his lip with relish.
Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle.

This is one area in which right-wing misinformation bleeds into left or at least centrist climate discourse. Much economic climate research, eg, proceeds as if adaptation is limitless. Many policymakers think that "mitigation" and "adaptation" are exchangeable equivalents.

“We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation and suffering. We’re going to do some of each. The question is what the mix is going to be. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required and the less suffering there will be.” - John Holdren, Obama's science advisor in 2007

We're only 8 days into 2025, and the impacts of climate change are clear ⚠️

Floods in the UK, wildfires in the USA - this is our stark reality.

The time for action is slipping away. We need achievable, global plans & co-operation and we need it now.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected 🙏

Flight SYR9218 has gone off radar, according to Flightradar24. This may have been carrying Asaad and his family. Possible reasons include jamming, a tracking error, it was shot down, or a potential crash.
No confirmation yet on the plane’s fate as the situation remains unclear.

Could this really be so? I certainly did not have the fall of Assad's Syria regime on my bingo card a month ago.

Iran has confirmed that Assad did board this plane
