Increasing temperatures are already killing huge numbers of people.

A ProPublica and @us.theguardian.com analysis found that Trump’s “America First” agenda is expected to add substantially to the toll, with the vast majority of deaths occurring outside the U.S.

By @fastlerner.bsky.social
Trump’s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths. The Poorest Countries Will Be Impacted Most.
Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

If you were wondering how Fox is playing Mamdani/Trump:

Hannity (paraphrase): "This scene is profoundly disturbing to Democrat leftists. Here is their Communist hero, shaking hands with the man he has denounced as a despot. The left doesn't know what to think.'

The thing about the Trump-Mandami love fest is that it takes the wind out of the GOP’s sails trying to paint him as the Democratic boogeyman.

its unimaginable that trump would consider “despot" an insult
Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?

MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have

TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.
