If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

😭😂

I’m rooting for sarcasm, but you never know

on tuesday no less

hope they get to know each other soon. I’ll see myself out

If I learned one thing in English class about non sequiturs, it’s that money doesn’t grow on trees.

VIRGINIA, I’m loving the energy this Election Day.

Thank you to the volunteers who have donated their effort and time, as well as everyone else who has shown up to vote.

Vote YES to stop Trump and MAGA.

Polls are open until 7pm, and if you are in line at 7pm – STAY you CAN cast your ballot.

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

“13% — fine with it”

just keep saying it

“you know I have to say I won’t do your bidding”

“lol yeah — make it sound real sincere”

I think it is if you separate RE into wind/solar/hydro. Of course it won’t be very soon, but he just needs a patina of plausibility, having long ago sold his soul

“it’s a free country” (1) is now very demonstrably false (and always was, for many) and (2) doesn’t protect you from being criticized for supporting (or appearing to support, or being silent about) the authoritarians who are destroying both this country AND YOUR FUCKING PROFESSION

Gallego: "You said…Trump never demanded you cut interest rates in your job interview. Is that your sworn testimony?"

Warsh: "That is."

Gallego: "Someone here is lying then, it's either you or President Trump."

The report lists 12 "action insights", each with three "action recommendations". (The list was cut down from a shortlist of about 40-50 insights, Carbon Brief understands.) One of the most striking in the draft is "action insight 5", which says: "Take immediate measures to prevent future emissions. Ban new fossil infrastructure, mandate deep methane cuts, accelerate electrification and inscribe fossil-fuel phase- down targets in NDCs [nationally determined contributions] and clean-energy pathways support to low and middle income countries (LMICs)." The accompanying three "action recommendations" include "halting all new fossil-fuel extraction and infrastructure projects ahead of a final investment decision", "implementing deep, legally binding methane cuts in the energy sector" and "inscribing] targets for fossil- fuel phase down, electrification and green exports in NDCs". (The draft report includes multiple references to "phasing out" and "phasing down" fossil fuels, rather than the "transition away from fossil fuels" language that was, ultimately, agreed by countries at the COP 28 UN climate talks in Dubai in 2023.)

A preliminary scientific “synthesis report” circulated to the 50 nations at the conference on fossil-fuel phase out in Santa Marta, Columbia, recommends real-talk "action recommendations" including the ban of new fossil infrastructure and fossil-fuel phase-down targets in NDCs.

This is the way!

maybe that’s why he never returns my calls

oops 😱😂

1-800-GO2-HELL

you can repost if you want it’s not a sin

me: jesus said you have to forgive your debtors

bank manager: no

me: I’m calling the pope

that’s one way to kill people I guess

A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.

“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

😂

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

cancel the times

😭😂

I see debt people

When I say you’re like one of the family, I mean you probably owe me money you have no intention of repaying.

Two Mourning Doves at a bird feeder with a built-in camera. One dove is in profile, very close to the camera, and appears to be looking at it, and the other dove is further back, but also looks like it’s staring straight into the lens.

These two Mourning Doves at my feeder cam look like they just rang my doorbell because Tony Soprano sent them to collect a debt I owe.
