NEWS: Consumer sentiment PLUNGED 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952. April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

I was waiting for someone to put this all together. Patience rewarded. 👇

We had trade agreements around the world. We broke them. Now we have to renegotiate, in a rush, without expertise, with countries who know their interests and who cannot trust us. Here’s how that puts America First. by Peter Navarro

In May 2024, 72% of Democrats and 76% of Republicans supported a national policy of banning stock trading by elected officials today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Renewables are the future. Solar is the cheapest form of electricity, and it’s pushing gas aside. We don’t need to put billions of taxpayers dollars into unnecessary gas pipelines doomed to become stranded assets.

At least half of the lawyers who argue for Trump at Supreme Court are quitting. Many are uncomfortable or turned off by directives from Justice Department leaders www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I appreciate that Sotomayor, Jackson, & Kagan point out: 1) the govt has *chosen* to fight this case rather than seek the release of a man it admits it wrongfully detained (not to mention sent to a foreign gulag), and 2) under the govt theory, if they can do this to him, they can do it to you

Trump's Own Aides Keep Him in State of Delusion About Tariff Fiasco - The New Republic

Democrats have hosted 71 town halls in 35 states and counting in just 3 weeks. We’re just getting started, GOP.

Today, the President used the authority we have entrusted to him for four years to single out for punishment a single person for the crime of telling the truth about an election he lost. This should terrify you. This should provoke bipartisan outrage. This alone justifies impeachment.

Woah. Survival among the top wealth quartiles in northern/western/southern Europe were higher than that among the wealthiest Americans. Survival in the wealthiest US quartile were similar the poorest quartile in northern/western Europe www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Whether it’s Republicans causing chaos with random arrests and deportations, Republicans causing chaos with mass layoffs, or Republicans causing chaos with whiplash tariffs, voters are exhausted by chaos from both parties.

The past four Republican administrations have tanked the US economy. But I know multiple Democrats who include their pronouns in the footer of their emails. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Clean Energy won't be stopped. Oligarchs fear it because you cannot monopolize the Sun and the wind.
