Senate Republicans had a choice and chose wrong. This bill still amounts to a repeal of clean energy credits that will cost their own constituents jobs and hundreds more on their energy bills. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/c...

He’s always yapping but nothing makes sense 😖

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

Trump is slowly figuring out that it was the Koch operation that chose, and is served by, “his” Supreme Court nominees, and that “his” people Leo and McGahn were really working for the polluter billionaires. Let’s review the history. 🧵

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: The energy transition is more disruptive—and could move much faster—than most people think. It’s not just about swapping old tech for new. Shift to clean energy is a complex web of feedback loops, tipping points & surprises. Our new 📖 👇 www.scurveeconomics.org/publications... 🧵

Do the Tough Guys feel safe yet?

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

@volts.wtf I need some hopium after that “WTF is happening? Part 3” episode. Good Lord that was depressing.

A good opportunity for Democrats to drop their current message -- "We apologize for being Democrats" -- and pick up a new one: "We can have nice things."

One of the most striking features of mainstream political journalism is that it really does not give a single shit about public policy or its impacts on the American people

Well this is chilling as all hell. As I've said a million times, we are sliding into autocracy in the most telegraphed, cliched, scripted way possible. Just dully walking through steps that have been trod dozens of times before, stupid enough to think we're different.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

I feel like this isn't discussed enough.

It's been noted that the last time stocks fell this sharply, we were in the midst of a global health pandemic. To which I say, please be patient. by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Go suck on a diesel exhaust pipe, Donnie.

Imagine that

Modern Gestapo - If what they were doing was moral, they wouldn't need to cover their faces while they did it.

PSA: Good parents don’t say things like this about their children. Speaks volumes about who he is as a person.

Post a warning

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Be someone’s hero. We all need a little more kindness in our lives. ♥️

I've watched more Schumer clips & read more Schumer quotes than is healthy over the last week, and I regret to inform you that when he says "fighting," he just means means "talking." That's all he's proposing; that's all he wants to do. He just wants to talk about what Trump's doing. That's it.

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it

It has now been 56 days since the date that Trump promised he would easily end the war with one conversation, and the killing continues. He got in two rounds of golf this weekend though.

The Palpatine (Trump) Administration ignoring judicial orders to stop deportations is not just a one-off event limited to a few airplanes. Here's another example: a professor-- a doctor from Lebanon. This is dangerous. If the Trump'ists get away with this, anybody is at risk, anytime.

Devour Feculence. #Severance

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

When the Senate Minority Leader sells you out, the only option is to take back the party & country with grassroots activists in blue and red disricts to stand up for the Constitution and our democracy.

Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.

They’re mocking the Dems now

With an opposition party like this, what is the point?

Seems like only the most MAGA faithful would blame Dems, suggests that politically this should be a no-brainer for them.

It is amazing how fucking awful @schumer.senate.gov is at his job.

Have we really become so angry and intolerant that we can’t even let the vice president enjoy some skiing in peace the day after he signed off on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?
