Sabotaging America's progress in renewables is one of the most harmful actions Donald's regime has taken in terms of preserving human civilization against the unpredictability & destructibility of the climate catastrophe we're already very much in the middle of.

Last night’s dinner with Trump and Big Tech wasn’t a policy meeting. It was basically 'The Bachelor,' except instead of roses, the prize was the president’s approval.

At a White House dinner Thursday night, America’s tech executives put on an uncanny display of fealty to Donald Trump.

The Democratic Party’s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things I’ve seen in my life.

Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. It’s unforgivable.
The House voted 308 to 122 for the GENIUS Act, the corrupt crypto industry bill to set the stage for the next financial crisis, encourage money laundering, and bless Trump's corruption.

102 Democrats voted yes, including 4 out of the 5 memberships of House Dems's Leadership Team.

Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.

Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

In poll after poll, Americans rejected this bill’s brazen deception. As it travels back to the House & presumably to Trump, we'll continue sounding the alarm to let those who voted for it know they wounded the very people who voted them into office. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Huge agree. I have 1001 issues with “big pharma” but the “Wellness” industry is rife with eugenicists, unhealthy looking fascists, carnival barkers, plastic surgery addicts, and a surfeit of cocaine. And their greatest sin: Cheryl Hines; whose present repugnancy has ruined Curb. Will never forgive.
There are legitimate issues with the pharmaceutical industry and how it's regulated; the wellness industry is even more predatory, like it's not even close. Woo woo bullshit on par with leeches and humors

Yikes. This is not something you want to hear a United States senator say—both because of what it confirms about the political climate and what it reveals about the senator. (Kudos to Murkowski for her candor, though, I guess.)
