While we are transfixed by the antics of our supposed "leaders", a catastrophe of astonishing proportions has been creeping up on us. Climate scientists now believe it is more likely than not to happen, and soon.

A catastrophic climate event is upon us. Here is why you’ve heard so little about it | George Monbiot
Scientists say a crucial Atlantic system is set to collapse. But the billionaire death cult that steers humanity’s destiny just doesn’t do existential crises, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

As always with Trump, we should base our analysis and expectations on what he does, not on what he says.

If he keeps troops in the Middle East and sends more, it could suggest that he is simply buying time and preparing for a ground operation

Nice 'ceasefire' Trump! All fire, no cease🤦🏼‍♂️

And did he bail out now so he could exploit Iran later? As a false terrorism flag with which to sabotage the midterms? He needs a security crisis in October, not April

Zelenskyy complains that Trump is not interested in the evidence that Russia is helping Iran (kill Americans).

The problem is there's no leverage for shame.

JD has literally been palling with the enemy in recent days, and it's not being covered.

JD Vance needs this deal to survive if he wants to be president
Vance’s career is dead if he breaks with Donald Trump, and it’s dead if the Iranian conflict continues

Greg is right here: Even if Trump’s removal (via impeachment, 25th Amendment, whatever) is unlikely, we should not atop talking about it (that’s what they did with Biden)
Trump's threat to obliterate Iranian civilization cannot be forgotten. There cannot be any coming back back from such a glaring and unequivocal sign of Trump's fundamental unfitness for the presidency.

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.
This Was Inevitable. And It Is Unforgivable. ICE Owns This.
A warning ignored. A life lost. This cannot become routine.

Today, the Senate has one last chance to extend the ACA tax credits before they expire.

I’ll be voting to prevent health insurance premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans. Every Republican senator should do the same.

Not three months ago, Bondi and Patel stated unequivocally that there was nothing more to investigate (but that is indeed the reason the will give for not releasing the files now)
Instead of just releasing the Epstein files, Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats and AG Pam Bondi is complying.

Are they setting up a pretext to block the release by arguing the files are now part of an active investigation? I’m not saying that would work, but he’s desperate to block.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.
