Source: New Atlas. All great news on the testing front. But for an energy source and methodology that could be our best hope to stop climate overheating, the timeline is too slow. What resources are needed to speed this up? #geothermalrocks#Quaise https://t.co/bg74H9wtSK
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

‘Easily the Worst President in U.S. History’ https://t.co/k2pO6jVyOv via @NYTOpinion “the complete defunding of USAID would cause an estimated 2,450,000 all-age deaths annually, leading to a total of 14,051,750 excess all-age deaths and 4,537,157 excess under-5 deaths by 2030.”
HUMILIATING GOP MELTDOWN CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Rand Paul just pulled the chair out from under Marco Rubio in the Senate hearing — and the hypocrisy exploded in real time.
Rand drops the hammer:
“If another country bombed our air defenses, captured and removed our President on U.S. soil… would THAT be okay?”
Rubio freezes. He starts frantically erasing his notes, forgets how to breathe, and looks like a Trump sycophant who just realized he sold his soul for nothing.
Rand reminds him point-blank:
Congress declares war.
Congress controls the checkbook.
That Constitution you swore an oath to?
GOP loves executive power when Trump’s doing regime change abroad.
But flip the script? Suddenly it’s not so sexy.
Rubio couldn’t even choke out “NO.”
He couldn’t defend the endless foreign adventures he’s been selling for years.
Our tax dollars. Their cowardice.
This isn’t politics.
This is a bought-and-paid-for senator auctioning off the Constitution for donor dinners and Fox News applause.
GOP in power = rules for thee, but never for me.
There's growing disquiet in the military. The Iran war made it worse
