Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

The Venezuela incursion is in line with this logic, made even plainer as the US eyes Greenland

Ive said this off-hand on panels and interviews over the last few years sort of as a joke, but after Trump’s invasion of Venezuela I realized I am dead serious

We need to start talking like the chemtrail people
It's time to embrace climate conspiracy
Trump’s Venezuela oil play exposes what climate reporting has documented for decades—if we’re willing to say it out loud.

Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President”
I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States! I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately. It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Can't believe that @Guardian has published this promotional bollox by the CEO of an organisation pushing SRM

Trying to cut the temperature while emitting 41 Bt of CO2 a year is like giving a poisoned patient an antidote while administering more poison

From Washington to Europe, the same organisations keep appearing – Heritage, Heartland, Koch-linked groups – pushing identical anti-net zero scripts & climate change scepticism.

It’s a coordinated, well-funded project of fossil fuel money, think tanks, tech giants & political operatives
Inside MAGA’s worldwide campaign to undermine climate science
What began as US culture war politics has become a well-funded, coordinated global campaign to undermine climate science and democracy

Our economy, our medicine, and the air we breathe are all gifts from healthy ecosystems. Denying the crisis of ecocide means denying our fundamental dependence on the natural world. We can't build a future on a broken foundation.

The most disturbing presidential press conference I have ever seen.

‘Blind Into Caracas’
Less than 24 hours in, members of the Trump team are celebrating victory. None of them seem to have wondered what happens a day, a month, a decade from now.

Trump abolished USAID, tore down a third of the White House, is putting his own face on money, kidnapped the leader of a foreign country, and is erecting a monument to himself.

But Chuck Schumer just wants to work across the aisle on kitchen table issues rather than impeaching the motherfucker.
