A new edition of the UNEP's Emissions Gap Report is out. It shows countries making little progress in ramping up ambition, and the very low likelihood of current commitments limiting warming to 1.5 degrees.
We're probably avoiding 3 degrees, but there's much more to do. www.unep.org/resources/em...

Decision Desk HQ is the first to call a race, saying Abigail Spanberger wins.
The anti-trans attacks seem to have failed in Virginia.
Virginia was the ground zero after Youngkin won on a fledgeling anti-trans platform in 2021.

It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today)

I want to see more faith leaders publicly speaking out like this.
REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

This is awful. Republicans hurting Americans including their constituents. Healthcare shouldn’t be a luxury accessible only to the wealthy.
Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.
I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.
If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

This is an emergency. In a month, health premiums are going to go up by 75%, ruining families' lives. What's happening in Chicago, where people's rights are being obliterated, is an emergency. What the FCC is doing - censoring our political speech - is an emergency.

The contrast is so striking.
Donald Trump has a history of making national tragedies worse. So here's a quick side by side of how one president responds to a national crisis versus how another does.

The Supreme Court more or less gave the thumbs up to racial profiling via the shadow docket. I am wondering if they expect Trump to declare a national emergency and suspend democracy before they rule on any of the similar cases...

Going into week two of graduate school as a middle age mom. Meal prep made week one 1000% better, so now Sunday evening looks like opening a bottle of wine and cooking a few options for breakfast and dinner with my partner.
Bonus points: they used AI to make my notes into a fancy menu. 😍 😂

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.
This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
