António Guterres, the UN secretary general, said: “Extreme heat is no longer a rare event – it has become the new normal.”

In Portugal — his home country — a reading of 46.6 C (115.9F) was registered in Mora, about 60 miles east of Lisbon.
In France, heat warnings covered nearly the entire mainland for the first time in history. Météo-France has placed 88% of administrative areas under the second-highest orange heat alerts. “This is unprecedented,” said the ecology minister, Agnès Pannier-Runacher.

How can you tell that Trump and Musk don’t actually care about going after waste and fraud? They just fired someone at the Minnesota VA whose job was to find waste/inefficiencies to save taxpayer money.

It’s all a façade to shell out more money for billionaires and big corporations.

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this.

Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.”
