Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

If @governor.ny.gov does not sign the bill before the end of 2025, this inaction will signal a veto and bill S1548/A1502 will not become law. She must sign it as a continuation of standing up for NYS women. Seriously Governor, we're #PFAS polluted enough.

We live in a society where the rich no longer put enough back into the system that enriched them. That’s gotta change.

We also have to get rid of subsidy for established industry, but that’s a whole other kettle of fish.
The PM is talking about nation-building. We need to be talking about being a nation where people aren't dependent on food banks and are able to live in affordable homes.
A nation where people are not left behind.
