Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. "There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.

Alongside @bma.org.uk, we've written to the Secretary of State for Work & Pensions urging Long COVID and severe post Covid-19 complications be recognised as an industrial disease.

This change would ensure health and social care workers with Long COVID can access the financial support they need.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

This graph of global solar cell installation shows how the world has already left the Liberal Party behind in the coal dust. The future is renewable, it’s ubiquitous and far cheaper than fossil fuels. If only the sun could donate!

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.

And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

Deeply unsettling read!

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:

-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage

Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.

That is the path forward.

The Labor chair of the Senate inquiry into @albomp.bsky.social’s ‘assault on Govt transparency’ Bill delayed publication of WJF’s/TW’s joint submission, apparently not because it calls out Albo’s hypocrisy, rather because an #FOI case study was critical of Snowy 2.0 🤷‍♂️. 1/3 #auspol
