It’s Already Too Late to Ignore Climate Change YouTube video by Thom Hartmann Program

"This Is What Climate Change Looks Like Right Now" | My interview earlier today with the great @thomhartmann.skystack.xyz: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXVW...

America First?

Hey, journalists!

Could you do us all a favour?

Fact check Donald Trump BEFORE you quote him.

Then, if he's lying, we don't need the quote. A simple statement "Donald Trump lied again" will do.

Save us all a LOT of time - you don't have to write a lot of nonsense, we don't have to read it.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Extreme Weather Is Sending Home Insurance Rates Through the Roof; Big Oil Should Pay ​We and a growing number of lawmakers are proposing legislation to ensure that the companies that helped drive the climate crisis help pay their fair share of the ensuing damage.

If a power company is responsible for the spark that ignites a fire, why not the fossil fuel giants that are turning much of the country into a tinderbox? ask @scottwiener.bsky.social, Jarrett Keohokalole, and Brian Kavanagh.

Congress, Give the People What They Want: Impeach Trump! ​This drive for presidential accountability stems from the 15 months of Trump wrecking America, weakening America, endangering America and its people.

Trump, of course, just keeps doubling down with his clenched-jawed rage, strengthening the case against himself, writes @nader.org.

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

Trump Has Become What He Most Despises: A Loser There’s nothing more central to fascist authoritarianism than being proud of being a grievance-fueled failure.

Last week's ceasefire left the world thinking the U.S. lost the war... Trump, however, was unconcerned: “Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me, because we’ve won,” he told reporters. trib.al/6cozrFG

This is what happens when losers are elected to lead the world’s superpower.

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn b

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

My friend @gwagner.com's take in @nature.com nicely complements points I made in my @livescience.com commentary "Our fossil fuel economy is a house of cards & Trump's war in Iran is about to topple it...need for a clean energy transition has never been clearer."

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Republicans are waging a #WarOnScience.

BERNIE: “The time is long overdue for members of Congress to listen to the American people and end US military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government.”

People asked how we got here, check out the drawing...

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.

Trump’s Bottomless Nihilism Is Eating Our Future While a few lucky insiders may be getting rich from this misrule, the rest of us are watching the needless destruction of our collective future.

Because his own desires have no anchor, he cannot conceive others hold wants and needs that can’t be dealt down, negotiated, shifted entirely. Everything is just an opening bid. trib.al/IZyEWST

Republicans were NEVER the party of law and order.

Tax Day is a reminder of America’s unequal tax system. But we can fix it | Zohran Mamdani, Gabriel Zucman and Joseph Stiglitz There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us

The scammers profiting off Trump's immigration crackdown Fake judges. Fake lawyers. Real deportations.

“You see people spending thousands and thousands of dollars for services that are not rendered."

Trump’s Staggering Humiliation in Iran Desperate for an off-ramp, the president is setting up the U.S. to lose another war in the Middle East—even if the ceasefire doesn’t hold.

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/HJMC3Gs

Sanders, Mamdani, and Labor Leaders Launch Movement to 'Expand Worker Power' Nationwide “Unless we fundamentally transform our economic and political systems, the worst is yet to come,” Sen. Bernie Sanders warned.

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Trump’s post in which he depicts himself as Jesus “blasphemy” and “an Antichrist spirit”

Iran's Top Diplomat Says Trump Team Sabotaged Talks With Deal 'Inches Away' "Zero lessons earned," said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

"We encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade. Zero lessons earned," said Iran's foreign minister.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.

Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

Truth! EPSTEIN Files NOW!

Trump and all the people in Trump's circle are either pedophiles or friendly to pedophiles. This is what MAGA, the Republican party and Libertarians support:
