Wetlands are vital to our way of life. They soak up floods, store drought water and filter pollution.
We must learn, act and protect wetlands.
On #WorldWetlandsDay we celebrate traditional knowledge and cultural heritage that supports this protection and has safeguarded wetlands for generations.

Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.

I was recently in Nepal, one of the poorest countries on the planet. I saw more EVs on the roads there than I do here in France. The fact that they are self-sufficient in electricity (hydro) and next-door-neighbours with China has a lot to do with it, but anyone I spoke to said "low operating costs"

Remember, the Republicans in the House and Senate could stop this in a minute. Actually it would only take a few of them. But no, they're either all in or cowards.
