actually, GasBuddy data shows the national average is up for the second straight week, and no, the national average will NOT be falling another $1.16/gal- it took Covid to get gas down to $1.76 nationally, it only stayed below $2 for 6 weeks.
To no one's surprise, looking at the Trump administration's dismantling of the regulatory state and unraveling of the already meager social net on behalf of the billionaire class, the shills on the panel conclude, "No."
The Dems determined to fumble the bag AGAIN in 2026.
I'm a Jewish @nyuniversity alum and I hope this cowardly institution recognizes that no matter how hard it tries to coerce students into shutting up and abandoning their humanity, it won't work. Stay loud NYU grads!!!
Here's the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for:
"As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."
Right-wing media claim Trump is "fighting for the little guy" and "a man of the people," as the administration dismisses market realities to prop up expensive coal and eliminates resources to protect the health & safety of miners. https://t.co/MO07nDOlWO
New from @mmfa: Corporate broadcast networks aired 12h 51m of climate coverage in 2024 — a 25% decline from 2023. This occurred during a year with 27 billion-dollar disasters. Our analysis examines this trend and opportunities for improvement: https://t.co/wdVighjR2G
New for @mmfa: After distancing himself from #Project2025, Trump is carrying out its vision for deregulation and fossil fuel supremacy https://t.co/RwzrLiNR0E
California Sen. Alex Padilla asked Chris Wright, a fracking executive and Trump's nominee for Energy Secretary, about a time he called wildfires "hype to justify...bad government policies."
The LA wildfires killed dozens in the past week.
Wright said he stands by his comments.
New for @mmfa: Right-wing media nonsensically say $1 billion humanitarian aid for Africa insults domestic hurricane victims. But the Biden admin requested 100x that in disaster aid from Congress for areas recovering from Helene & Milton. https://t.co/gUL6KOU20e
Person of Interest in the UHC CEO killing Luigi Mangione is being painted as left-wing by the New York Post but his X account shows someone whose thinking is shaped by the Online Right
It's been a while since I've read something that fails on every level—writing, reporting, and (above all!) editing—as spectacularly as this does https://t.co/yyiB9Ybdvb
All of the NYC Metro area is now in a Level 2 (Severe) drought, with a Level 3 (Extreme) drought in parts of Southern NJ. Dry weather and windy conditions are expected to lead to a continued risk of wildfire spread over the next several days.
Lee Zeldin had a lifetime LCV score of just 14% in Congress and voted:
❌ Against the Inflation Reduction Act
❌ Against cracking down on Big Oil price gouging
❌ Against clean water and clean air protections
❌ Against @EPA's methane pollution safeguards
A lot of people in NYC who think they’re smelling the Prospect Park brushfire are probably actually smelling this wildfire in NJ that’s 50 times bigger. https://t.co/ppEO94OqcA
