I’d say an excellent example that Farage’s racism didn’t end at school is he went to a dinner last year where they sang “we’re all racists now” and laughed at Hitler Jokes..

This! The Big Oil executives who have known this forever AND have had the power to change things - pivoting wholeheartedly away from fossil fuels - deserve life imprisonment with no parole, and confiscation of their assets and companies. Now the apocalypse has been hard-wired in - harder to change.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Carbon Capture and Storage is NOT a credible climate solution. It's a really expensive way to make big oil look a lot cleaner than it is to dishonestly manufacture support for expanding instead of reducing fossil fuel dependency.

I can count on one hand, maybe two, the number of Democrats in Congress who understand the fight and don't deserve to be primaried
Mark Kelly is being directly targeted by Trump and he’s responding to those threats - good! - but then Kelly goes and votes to confirm one of Trump’s judicial nominees.
Why would you actively help your abuser? Come on, Dems. Show some damn courage and insight.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.
I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.
Still, more than 7-in-10 U.S. adults have been a victim of an online scam or attack like credit card fraud, ransomware or online shopping scams. www.pewresearch.org/...

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇
