Voters in six states — including Idaho and Pennsylvania — approved conservation measures during elections last month.

Vermont and Massachusetts are going beyond 30x30 conservation goals.

While Trump and Big Oil are looking to destroy more public lands, voters are saying they want to protect them.

Liar Trump claims there was “no inflation” during his first term.

Reality check: consumer prices rose about 8% from the first day of his term to the last day, with an inflation rate of 2.46%.

Truth matters. Spread it around.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

The Trump phone was supposed to be released in August. It's December first, & still no sign of it.

But don't worry! You can still pay the $100 deposit for a non-existent phone.

Is this the latest edition of the Trump family's scams and ripoffs?

There’s an HIV prevention injection that could protect MILLIONS.

But one company controls it.

It’s time for Gilead to stop hiding behind restrictive patents, exclusionary licensing deals, & registration delays and start making this shot available to everyone who needs it.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.

It’s almost like…. It was never about that

Johnson's refusal to seat Rep.-elect Grijalva for SEVEN WEEKS wasn't just a disservice to the people of Arizona.

It was a cheap partisan ploy to obstruct the democratic process.

Oh yeah, and she also would be the breaking vote on releasing the Epstein files, so there's that.

Congratulations to WFP champion @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on her swearing-in after weeks of stalling by Speaker Mike Johnson.

Not only will families in Southern Arizona finally have representation in Congress, Americans are getting a fighter who's ready to hit the ground running.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Remember when presidents used to actually make speeches saying hunger in America should not exist because we were the greatest country in the world?

Exactly. I’m not worried about voter turnout as much as a fair election. I’m not confident.
