ICE just murdered a legal observer in Minnesota.
She was driving away from the scene, not towards law enforcement, so any "self-defense" claims are bogus.
This is what a police state looks like – and Secretary Noem and President Trump are responsible.

So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

Trump wants a baby boom, but he just ripped away critical resources from working families to give tax cuts to the rich.
My bill would do the opposite: tax the ultra-wealthy a little more so we can invest in quality, affordable child care for EVERYONE.

Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years
Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

When climate deniers argue that atmospheric CO₂ was higher in the past, it's idiotic.
Humans evolved to live in the current climate, and we built our society and infrastructure accordingly.
The atmosphere didn't have oxygen billions of years ago, and we certainly don't want to return to that.

Earth's atmosphere hasn't had this much CO2 in millions of years
New data shows that CO2 levels have broken through 430 parts per million, an indication that human-caused global warming will continue to warp the environment.
