The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power.

We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.

The General Sherman Tree. By volume, it’s the largest living tree on Earth and is estimated to be 2,500 years old!

Despite their importance old growth forests continue to be logged globally. It's time to protect the irreplaceable.

That's a great observation.

The right's screaming outrage about DEI is not about qualifications, it's really all about racism

And this is proof positive right here.

Inflation rose at a higher rate for the third straight month, surging to 4.2%, the highest in three years.

-Putting trump’s face on the $250 bill

-Putting trump’s face on passports

-Building an arch to honor trump

November is coming

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.

We shouldn't be sacrificing our cherished public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

This is a moral moment for our country. We cannot stand by while our communities are in crisis at home and abroad.

This week Republicans want to give ICE another $70 billion blank check after cutting food and housing for families—and communities abroad continue to suffer from war and humanitarian crises.

It's time for Congress to do its job, uphold its constitutional responsibilities, and reclaim its moral compass.

BREAKING: Alaska Republicans are panicking as Democrat Mary Peltola skyrockets in the polls against her Republican opponent, Dan Sullivan. This would be a major flip seat for Democrats and could help secure a Democratic Senate majority. Let's go!

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Protect the sacred! Donald Trump is trying to auction off nearly 700,000 acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling right now.

Whether it’s Chaco Canyon, Oak Flat, or the Arctic—we stand with Tribal Nations and our communities in the fight to protect sacred and public lands. These lands are not for sale! ✊

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

I believe in law and order. Two cop parents and 25 years in the Navy will do that to you.

That means accountability. It means clear rules on use of force. It means transparency and consequences when rules are broken. ICE has none of that right now, and it’s making our communities less safe. We can’t stop pushing to fix that.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You don’t get to decide to “move on” from the Epstein Files or from following the congressional law. That decision can only be made by the American people and Congress.

You will be disbarred. The files will eventually be released.

November is coming.

Ocean currents have a huge impact on our planet. That's why it is beyond stupid for Trump to dismantle America's huge network of ocean sensors. https://t.co/LS0gM3YrqH

Richard Gere on Trump: “We’re living in the darkest moment that I’ve experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this? Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president and dismantle all the good things? America’s never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal. First day this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and people”

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

I nominate this for understatement of the year.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

I wonder if people who voted for this ignorant man have realized what they have done to themselves and We the People. If not they are painfully stupid.

Gavin Newsom's Cutting Green Tape initiative has helped restore 300,000 acres of habitat, 5.5 million acres of land, and 700 miles of streams in California.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

The impact of Trump on the Earth is huge
As well as causing all this pollution
He is cutting down billions of Trees in USA that would help to fight this pollution and spraying millions of acres of Trees with poison
