Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

Gerade auch wegen Putin und Trump müssen wir uns ganz schnell aus der fossilen Falle befreien.
Wir können doch nicht weiter machen mit fossilen Energien, nur weil wir eine Krise haben, die Putin&Co ausgelöst haben.

Sagt mir einer, Wärmepumpe sei doof, weil Erdgas so billig ist.

Wie blöd kann man sein?

Allowing European automakers to keep their old technologies alive for another generation will do them no favours.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Early last year, a study came out in Nature that forecasted climate change would cause truly shocking economic damages at the end of the century if left unabated. Today, the journal retracted it.

Vladimir Putin has used a blend of charm, stalling and pointed threats to show US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner exactly where Russia stands on peace with Ukraine, making the Americans wait several hours for a meeting about ending the war in Ukraine.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.
