Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
"At a time when wildlife is already under immense pressure from habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and industrial development, Congress should be strengthening the Endangered Species Act, not tearing it apart," said a critic of the House GOP bill.
That is my worry as well. Regardless, any of the democrats would be better than Collins.
A lawsuit settlement by the Trump regime to pay money directly to Trump would be a looting of the U.S. Treasury.
There is no plan for Gen X & elder Millennials who aren't saving a million or more for retirement.
We're watching senior (Boomer/Silent) unhoused numbers skyrocket. Yet another reason why xenophobic MAGA policies are fatal. Aging populations NEED immigrants.

Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) reporting that the Trump administration ended an $11 million Catholic Charities contract providing care and shelter for unaccompanied migrant children, noting the cancellation came after Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran. The post includes a split image of Trump seated beneath an American flag in dramatic lighting, and Pope Leo XIV in white papal vestments.
That light fixture placement behind him is so apt.
Tommy Chong says it all...

Palantir Technologies now claims that it powers more than 15% of the US healthcare system. Yes, a company built from the ground up to spy for the CIA has embedded itself into the heart of American medicine. And almost nobody is talking about it.

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.
Insane this case is even being heard when you read what this person said.
He might literally be Trump’s greatest and only opponent. Who are the other candidates? Establishment Dems? 😂 Putin 😂
there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

ICE pulled over a man in Patterson, CA + shot him 6 times, hitting his face. ICE now says he is part of a gang in LA – a city he has no connection to.
Carlos Mendoza Hernandez, 36, now in ICU, says he's "never ever been in a gang" + was shot without justification www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Olivia, a 19yo asylum seeker, was living in Maine, had just graduated high school and was studying to become a nurse. Then she and her family were apprehended by ICE – she's been at the Dilley detention center for months.
Yesterday lawmakers including Rep. Casar met with her and others at Dilley.
Nearly half of Arizona's SNAP participants have lost their benefits since the implementation of the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The decline (47%) is among the steepest in the nation, according to a new analysis from the @centeronbudget.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/ariz...

Over the course of her career, #MostCorrupt2026 member Sen. Susan Collins has accepted a breathtaking $8.3 million in corporate PAC donations. She’s repeatedly abandoned Maine families and used her position of power to reward her friends on Wall Street. #MESEN
excommunicate jd vance. place washington dc under interdict. the whole diocese of arlington, too, for good measure - that’s where half the supreme court goes to mass.
The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.
