Call Trump's power grab in Venezuela what it is
Corporate media must recognize they're being openly lied to—and report accordingly.

It took only a few weeks for Pete Marocco to oversee the gutting of USAID.
But for 17 years, Marocco has been battling a FL interior design firm in a lawsuit that the judge described as “reaching Dickensian levels of challenges to the effectiveness of the civil justice system.”

I wish people would stop fixating on causes and cures for Autism and neurodiversity more broadly. It's time people listen to us, especially Neurodivergent people of color, women and others who are often excluded. Let actually Autistic and Neurodivergent people take the lead. This shouldn't be hard.

Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

I'm furious that the world no longer has access to the U.S. National Climate Assessment. I was a contributor to the 4th Assessment, watched the hard work of my White House colleague roll out the 5th, and I was the lead author of the Mitigation Chapter for the 6th Assessment before they dismissed us.
The US Global Change Research Program's website, including all its sub-domains that host the National Climate Assessments and related reports, is now offline.
The 1990 Global Change Research Act (see below) mandates its research findings be available to all federal agencies & departments.
