Can the world address climate change without the US?
Even with Trump's America absent, COP30 ended in a weak deal—and a win for petrostates.

Electric bills are up 11% this year, and shutoffs are spiking across the country.
At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Great urgency in reviewing Epstein files. Then silence for three months. Then the July 6 “nothing to see here” memo.
Wonder what they found that led to panicked silence then attempted cover up?

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Sometimes people ask what the difference is between unlawful and manifestly unlawful. The best answer is that it's like the moment you realize the snake at your feet is in fact a rattlesnake. It's extremely clear. Something like shooting a POW in the back while they're bound is manifestly unlawful.

Climate concerned peeps: We are not the minority!!
A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.
People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

Remember when the government was closed and Speaker Johnson swore they would negotiate on the ACA once it reopened? Well, Trump’s plan to extend ACA subsidies is now on hold after GOP pushback.
This proves they never planned to negotiate. Republicans have no intention of lowering healthcare costs.
