BREAKING: President Biden scores a huge surprise win as the Supreme Court rules in favor of his administration's rules that cut methane and mercury emissions fueling climate change.
MAGA is raging about this one...
While the court didn't uphold the environmental regulations outright, it ruled that the admin is allowed to enforce them while underlying legal challenges are decided — which could take years.
Republicans in some two dozen states implored the Supreme Court to block the EPA's methane rule (a wholly unsurprising move given the fact that MAGA is owned by the fossil fuel companies).
The EPA has estimated that the rule will cut methane emissions from oil and gas by close to 80% through 2038, a huge win for the planet and the future generations who will inhabit it.
The mercury rule requires some coal-fired plants to lower now only mercury emissions, but others such as arsenic and chromium.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump insists that climate change is a “hoax” and will continue shoveling money to corporations while the world burns.

BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez obliterates the Republicans' hack witness during a hearing for the sham Biden impeachment inquiry.
This is one for the books...
"I have a quick question. Simple. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?" AOC asked Tony Bobulinski, a former associate of Hunter Biden who has been doing MAGA's bidding.
"I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal..." began Bobulinski.
"Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony?" interjected AOC.
"Yes," said Bobulinski.
"And what crime have you witnessed?" asked AOC.
"How much time do I have to go through it?" he responded, evading the question.
"It is simple: you name the crime," she responded. "Did you watch him steal something?"
"Corruption statutes, RICO conspiracy, FARA..." he rambled, without offering any details.
"What is the crime sir? Specifically!" she said.
"You asked me to answer the question, I answered the question," whined Bobulinski, who had not answered the question. "RICO, you're obviously not familiar with, corruption statutes..."
"Excuse me sir! Excuse me sir. Excuse me sir," said AOC. "RICO is not a crime, it is a category. What is the crime?"
Bobulinski then whined, rambled, and dissembled without providing a specific crime. As usual, Republicans want to rely on vague assertions to do their dirty PR work. AOC reclaimed her time and then tore into the entire inquiry.
"Clearly, what we are seeing here today is a continuation of the fifteen month saga of the Republican majority lost in the desert," said AOC. "Impeachment 101, the majority party or whomever is raising impeachment must accuse the president of a high crime, a specific high crime or misdemeanor."
During another stretch of the hearing, AOC voiced the same issue—
"At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’" she asked, pointing out that there are "no charges" on the table.
"I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with," she went on. "I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem."
“The story is when this committee knew they were working with falsified evidence? That is the story," she added.
Well said congresswoman! This impeachment inquiry is an utter disgrace and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. All that it proves is that Republicans have nothing to hit President Biden on. The sooner it concludes, the better.

BREAKING: Republican Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is slammed with ANOTHER corruption scandal as it's revealed that he failed to repay a "significant portion" of the money he borrowed from a "friend" for a $267,230 luxury motorhome.
This just keeps getting worse...
In other words, Thomas essentially accepted a hugely expensive gift without reporting it. The "loan" that wasn't really a loan changed hands in 1999.
The shocking revelation was included in a report from the Senate Finance Committee. It reveals that after nine years, and an unclear number of interest payments, the big loan was "forgiven" by Anthony Welter, a former healthcare executive.
"This was, in short, a sweetheart deal," a congressional expert witness told the The New York Times.
The RV in question was the highly coveted Prevost Le Mirage XL Marathon, described by the grandson of the previous owner as "superluxury, really bougie."
At this point, Clarence is taking everything short of giant cartoon bags with dollar signs on them.
The problem here is obvious. Anyone with a deep wallet can directly influence Thomas and his rulings.
He must resign and face legal consequences.
