By shooting for 3 degrees Celsius of warming, the world could slide toward a more cataclysmic 4 degrees.

When people say “more supply of housing will lower demand which lowers prices” as a solution to housing crisis
what they’re really saying is I have zero idea how finance works in 2025 and learned absolutely nothing from 07’ economic collapse.

Many climate scientists know that our planet’s climate is in an incredibly bad place but are too afraid to say so because they think most of us will just give up instead of trying to survive.

DOGE is quietly dead months before its charter ends. OPM says the office doesn’t even exist anymore. No transparency, no verified savings, nothing to show for the hype. They claimed they were built to find fraud, but honestly, the whole thing felt like the fraud.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
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.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

You know who has been trying to tell teachers he knew how to do their jobs better than them? For years? Bill Gates.

And there it is. The Coast Guard has folded, fixed the language and published a new policy. Tonight. Maybe they say my segments on CNN with Abby Philip.
Either way, I think the two guys on the show with me tonight owe The Washington Post (and me) an apology.
