Droughts related to climate change are increasing. Meanwhile, the con artist of all con artists just told the UN that climate change was a con game. Head-in-the-sand thinking at its worst from Trump.
The biggest question: How do we save this sinking spaceship earth despite him?

Many parts of world are predicted to endure “day-zero droughts,” periods of extreme and unprecedented water scarcity, which could happen as soon as this decade in certain hotspots including parts of North America, the Mediterranean and southern Africa, according to new study: https://cnn.it/4gJ2uPu

How can one man be so stupid?
A journalist asked President Trump if it would have been fitting to lower flags to half-staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down in June.
“I’m not familiar. The… who?” Trump responded. https://wapo.st/4gnHUnm

The idea that there is more left-wing extremist violence than right-wing extremist violence is a dangerous myth.

Today's the day: Your taxpayer dollars are now being used to fix up a “free” plane Qatar “gifted” to Donald Trump.
Up to $1 BILLION going to a plane that Trump's planning on keeping after he leaves office.
So much for getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.

President Donald Trump has promised his high tariffs will inspire an American manufacturing renaissance.

They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

Remember when Lisa Murkowski criticized Trump/MAGA with "we are all afraid... retaliation is real... and that's not right..." but "I'm going to use my voice," and people expressed sympathy, and then the Senator kept voting to advance the political project of the forces threatening her? That was fun.

Thank you @padilla.senate.gov for challenging that dog-murdering head of Homeland Security.
California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation.
We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation.
Not despite our immigrant population –– but because of it.
