Here's the massive damage to US military facilities from the failed Iran War (that isn't a war, and that Trump and Hegseth swore never happened). Photos were leaked by active duty personnel--they've clearly lost faith in their Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

Advocates Call BS on Trump EPA Study of Imaginary Water Contamination From Abortion Pills | Common Dreams
President Trump's EPA is using environmental protections to restrict abortion medication and potentially birth control. But experts say the study is baseless and ideologically driven. Is this really a...

And this was all utterly predictable by the “fundamentals.” Plus, are the polls underestimating *Democrats* for once?

A common response is "if they know this, why keep drilling?" At BP, many have not internalized the stakes personally. At ExxonMobil, the stakes are well understood, but they're locked in a race for market share, believing if they don't extract it, a competitor will.

The people running these companies believe that climate change could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a fringe worry. Publicly, many executives soften their language to sound reasonable, but privately, the fear is real. No other industry poses this level of danger to civilization.

Do not underestimate the scale of this climate crisis. We are watching feedback loops accelerate, ice sheet collapse, ocean heat content, methane release, that could lock in irreversible warming. We have all witnessed the data, and it is not slowing down.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

The president is just such a stupid asshole. I know we try to ascribe motives to this guy but he’s at the end of the day, when the story is written, just a dumdum idiot with a tiny brain that don’t work so good.

A guy who consistently lies about his height, weight, health, finances, and so many other things might not be telling us the truth about damage to US military assets and the current state of key weapon stockpiles.
