After two weeks of #COP30 negotiations, countries agreed to BEGIN DISCUSSIONS on fossil fuel phase out. And as the article says, "they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries."
THIS is the problem with requiring unanimous decisions.

So yesterday Trump was holding hands with MBS, and today he's demanding the execution of two Senators and four Representatives.

Induction cook tops are a clean and more energy efficient way to cook. Even when working as designed, "Cooking with Gas" increases harmful indoor air pollution to unacceptable levels. Think asthma.

Protesters disrupted an exclusive Republican Overseas UK dinner, just around the corner from where Trump is staying.
This is the way—supporters of the regime must know no peace, no matter where they are.
Thank you @fossilfreeldn.bsky.social and all in the UK protesting against this fascist regime!

As the humanitarian disaster in Gaza continues, we cannot look away from rising Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.
@merkley.senate.gov and I met families of Americans killed there and visited a town subjected to attacks. Illegal settlements and violence MUST end.

Protest that endures, I think, is moved by a hope for more than that of public success, namely the hope of preserving qualities
in one's heart and spirit
that would be destroyed by acquiescence.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Time for Republican politicians to grow a spine and stand up for the millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid for health care.

I can think of another way to do checks and balances.
BLITZER: Do Republican need to reconsider their lockstep support for Trump's agenda?
LANKFORD: There's 2 ways to do check and balances. One is to do press conferences, and the other one is to go privately to people. You'll find a lot of Republicans go to administration officials behind the scenes.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Due process is how you know. It reminds me of the thermos.
The thermos is the most wondrous object, it keeps hot things hot, and it keeps cold things cold. But … how does it know?
