Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

In order to keep global warming below 1.5C or 2C, we need to move industrial activity to clean energy. This will MORE THAN DOUBLE our global need for electricity.
We are going to need a LOT more wind, solar, geothermal, and other clean electricity than most people are expecting.

This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to gut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to billionaires. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.

CO2 levels just broke another record. Here's what that means | CBC News
For 67 years, the observatory on Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano has been taking these measurements daily — tracking the invisible gas that is building up in our atmosphere and changing life on Earth.

Is anyone really that shocked to learn that NRA members didn’t really believe that “stand up to tyranny” stuff?
And that the organization mainly exists to taunt victimized families and communities after mass shootings?

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill.
Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
