Trump’s Department of Energy misleadingly suggests that higher CO2 levels are beneficial for agriculture. Top scientists – and decades of research – say that’s wrong.

The reality: Extreme weather caused by rising CO2 damages harvests and could drive up food prices worldwide.

Fact-checking a Trump administration claim about climate change and crops » Yale Climate Connections

A recent Department of Energy report falsely states that rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere will boost agricultural yields. In fact, climate change is much more likely to make food scarcer and more expensive.

REMINDER: It's now 266 days since Trump was sworn in but he has still NOT released the complete Jeffrey Epstein file. What is Trump hiding?

Not a word widely used in America, but I agree …

“No Dictators” would be more recognisable perhaps but the war of independence (American Revolutionary War) was bout a king so the emotional connection is stronger.

I loved Queen Elizabeth, however, so I take your point 😊

I'm a little bemused by the American cry of "No Kings".

Yes, I get all the George III stuff, but as someone who has two kings (Charles and Willem-Alexander), give me a modern parliamentary monarchy any day over the undemocratic US system, even pre-Trump.

I'd have thought "No Despots" more apt.

Respect is not “awarded” by title … it is earned.

And your “president” has earned ZERO respect.

Jack is right.
For every day that the shutdown continues, Dems should add another demand.
Trump won’t let the Rs negotiate. He’s deliberately trying to break our congress and make them irrelevant.
Trump needs to be impeached.
Oh-and release the Epstein Files!

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.
