In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

I was in London for the Liz Truss debacle. 5 lessons for Trump — and all of us.

If people start calling Donald Trump “Liz Truss in drag,” it won’t be because of his policies, but because he blew up his government with a financial crisis entirely of his own making.

The irony of Americans electing a fascist because they were more concerned about getting lower grocery prices than saving democracy and then they end up losing democracy AND getting higher grocery prices 🤦🏽‍♂️

Coffee, shrimp, other foods could soar with Trump tariffs

The food hit hardest, if the tariffs take effect, is mostly not grown or harvested in the U.S.

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.
