It’s clear that if you are a foreign leader meeting the US President, you need an advisor who spends all their time researching conspiracy theories to prepare.

It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.

Just off the phone with President Zelenskyy. We are coordinating closely on the next steps. Europe has adopted its 17th package of sanctions. An 18th package is being prepared with further hard hitting sanctions. It’s time to intensify the pressure on Russia to bring about the ceasefire.

I just declared a peacetime emergency to ensure we’re providing every possible resource for those fighting the wildfires in Minnesota. As fires remain active up north, I’m grateful for the tireless work and coordinated response of those on the frontlines.

Just watched the highlight reel of Pope Leo XIV meeting with J.D. Vance with all the enthusiasm of being roped into a conversation with a Mary Kay saleswoman on a Sunday afternoon on your front doorstep. Big "check the box" energy.

part of me thinks the replies on Bluesky have gotten bad because of the sheer number of people who have joined since the election, the absolute firehose of bad news on a daily basis, as well as untold numbers of people dealing with Long COVID symptoms, layoffs, and the ongoing trauma of the pandemic

There never was an argument. Pretending there was two sides to this has been a total failure of journalism.

On other side of ice sheet there is a föhn wind driving melt + ice loss. Figs @polarportal.bsky.social #FieldDiary25

This shows the Republican tax plan is just a giveaway to the wealthiest Americans. Middle and lower income families might save a few bucks, but the rich… well, see for yourself.

Still, Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-director of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, sees comments the new pope made last year on the need to move “from words to action” as a promising sign that he will continue Francis’ commitment to climate change. from @grist.org via @climatedesk.org

Medicaid is a lifeline for families across Minnesota — including over half of our nursing home residents. I won’t let Republicans gut it to give tax breaks to billionaires.

We had a president in Joe Biden who cared about public service, employing government to make lives better and speaking out about kindness, decency and democracy. That’s what a real president does and sounds like.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."
