Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

He's hiding the Epstein files for the same reason he hides his medical records and jobs reports. And it's not because they make him look good.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.

Huh.

Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.

I thought other countries paid for those?

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.

They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Rachel Maddow: “Donald Trump has never been more unpopular than he is right now. His disapproval rating is higher than it was in the immediate aftermath of January 6th. 63% disapprove, only 37% approve of Trump. He is 26 points underwater. That’s astonishing”

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

The Pentagon is creating National Guard riot control forces in every state that could respond to civil unrest.

The new "quick reaction" units — with about 500 soldiers each — demonstrate Trump's push to expand the U.S. military's role in targeting U.S. citizens in U.S. cities.
Pentagon Orders National Guard to Establish Quick-Reaction Forces for Civil Unrest, Riots
The riot control units are a major shift, underscoring the Trump administration’s push to directly involve the military in responding to demonstrations and other domestic missions.
