James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?

MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

Mike Johnson has lost control of the House, as we continue to push through petitions to force the votes he tries so hard to run from.

Congress may be closed for the Holiday, but their inboxes aren’t. Let’s flood them with messages and urge them to vote yes on extending ACA tax credits!

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?

BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.

W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?

B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

Mike Johnson was pissed that we pushed a petition through and are forcing a vote on extended ACA tax credits. He just can’t stop losing.

But right now we need your help. We need everyone to contact Congress and tell them to get it done:

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This story is part of a series on “Lost Science” or more accurately #ScienceUnderSiege because as you well know, @nytimes.com, wording influences interpretation.

Science isn’t misplaced. Science is being purposely erased, & federal research projects, programs, & staff are being terminated.

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027.
And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should.
