U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four.
I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation.

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.
All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.

We’re at a critical moment for our climate. Every dollar spent on fossil fuels is a dollar too much. And yet 2/3 banks covered in the #BankingOnClimateChaos report INCREASED their fossil fuel spending. Fossil fuel financing climbed by $163 BILLION from 2023 to 2024. 📈💸

In the 1980s, the US experienced one billion-plus dollar extreme weather disaster on average every 4 months.
Today? There’s one every 2 weeks, and 9 in 10 Americans say they’ve felt the impacts.
Clearly, this is the record to cut—if you don’t want to show how climate change is hitting home.

An underrated factor in how we got ourselves into this mess is that Americans are increasingly relying on computers and the internet instead of their own critical thinking faculties (AI is making this even worse), and as a result are uninformed and easy to manipulate.
