BREAKING: New Yorkโs Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul enrages MAGA by signing a law that will require fossil fuel companies to pay for climate damage repair.
And it gets even betterโฆ
The new state law requires the companies responsible for the bulk of emissions produced between 2000 and 2018 to pay out roughly $3 billion a year for the next 25 years.
State Senator Liz Krueger, a co-sponsor of historic bill, called it a โshot that will be heard โround the world.โ
โToo often over the last decade, courts have dismissed lawsuits against the oil and gas industry by saying that the issue of climate culpability should be decided by legislatures,โ she stated.
โWell, the Legislature of the State of New York โ the 10th largest economy in the world โ has accepted the invitation, and I hope we have made ourselves very clear: the planetโs largest climate polluters bear a unique responsibility for creating the climate crisis, and they must pay their fair share to help regular New Yorkers deal with the consequences,โ she went on.
This makes New York the second state to pass a law like this behind Vermont. Due to New Yorkโs massive economic, cultural, and political influence this will have far-reaching effects.
Please retweet and โค๏ธ if you think that every state should pass a law like this โ and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth โ which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

๐จBREAKING: Mass protests in Serbia's capital, #Belgrade, one year after Putin's puppet the illegitimate government committed fraud in the parliamentary elections
From the family: "Retiring U.S. Rep. Kay Granger has missed votes in Congress since the summer and her son said she has been 'having some dementia issues late in the year'"
https://t.co/LEw6JCI3qp
WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD
GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility.
Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So whoโs been making these posts?
Now we know he didnโt just sleep with a 17-year-old. He paid to have sex with a 17-year-old, otherwise known as rape. That is what Matt Gaetz wanted Kevin McCarthy to stop from going public. Makes so much sense now.
The richest man in the world is dictating to the president-elect that the government should shut down.
Wealthy robber barons corrupting politics was a defining characteristic of the first Gilded Age.
It's happening again today.
๐จ HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of illegal aliens with foreign flags are protesting President Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan outside of an ICE facility in Los Angeles ๐คฃ
Gisele Pelicot is the most powerful person on Earth. She has empowered millions of women by courageously breaking her silence about surviving serial rapes. For me, she is the person of the century.
BREAKING: President Biden delivers a brilliant response to a question about how he'll react when Donald Trump falsely takes credit for all of his accomplishments.
This is what a real leader sounds like...
"What are you going to do when the other guy goes out there bragging about accomplishments under you?" Ben Meiselas of MeidasTouch asked in a new interview.
"The Medicare $2,000 cap, its going to kick in in 2025. Heโs going to be out there saying, 'I did this.' Howโs that going to make you feel when that happens?" he asked.
"Look: Iโve invested more in red states than in blue states with all these programs we just talked about," said Biden. "The reason for that was that the red states didnโt operate very well, and they really hurt their constituents so those factories closed and the like."
"The fact is that I represent all of America, not just Democrats," the president continued. "And I think what itโs going to do is bring the country more together than separate it."
"And for example, you already have folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others saying, 'Donโt eliminate the factory,' after talking about how the proposal to build it was the worst idea anybodyโs ever had," Biden continued. "She didnโt vote for it."
"So I think thereโs going to be a bit of a comeuppance here but the bottom line is I'm convinced that over time the American public will respond to what is the intention of the party to try to help ordinary people," he went on.
"And the fundamental change I made โ and I made a speech at Brookings Institution about it recently โ was on the economy," said Biden.
"The fact is that we had a long time this idea of trickledown economics," he said. "Let the wealthy do very, very well. They'll have so much money it'll trickle down on people's kitchen tables and coffee tables and the like and everyone will benefit. I never bought that theory!"
"And so what I've decided to do is to change it to build the economy from the middle out and the bottom up," explained Biden. "The wealthy still do very well but the middle class and the working class people do much, much better.
"And that's exactly what's happening and so I think the long term prospects for the country are very good," he added.
