@covie_93 What’s sad to me is their voters. Self inflicted wounds! Refuse to hold these clowns accountable. Voting against their own self interests. Spewing lies about democrats. Literally doing it all in the name of their religion.
WE MUST ADDRESS THE CLIMATE CRISIS
The last 11 years have been the hottest 11 years on record. The last three years have been the hottest three years on record. 2026 will be one of the warmest years on record, and most scientists believe 2027 will be the warmest year in recorded history.
This past year, Europe has seen four major heat waves, including the continent’s worst heat wave ever that killed more than 10,000 people. In the United States, three extreme heat waves exposed hundreds of millions of people to dangerous levels of heat. Drought is causing some of the lowest water levels ever seen for reservoirs along the Colorado River, threatening the drinking water of 40 million people. Puerto Ricans are being forced to ration water because of extreme drought. In Europe, some of the continent’s dryest conditions have caused major rivers to run so low that ships are running aground, nuclear power plants are shutting down, and historical artifacts that were previously submerged are being revealed. South Korea is in the midst of a record heat wave — with temperatures reaching 108.5° Fahrenheit, the highest temperature in the country’s history. China, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan are all experiencing torrential rain and flooding.
As a result of rising heat levels, we are seeing massive wildfires across the world, including Oregon’s worst wildfire season and fires in Washington state that have forced nearly 65,000 families to evacuate. Europe, France and Spain are experiencing destructive wildfire seasons that have forced more than 330,000 people to evacuate their homes. Portugal, Greece, Italy, Albania, Turkey, Canada, Morocco and Algeria are also experiencing destructive wildfire seasons.
This summer alone,Alaska, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and West Virginia have all seen record rainfall events. We’ve seen 1,000-year floods in Texas, Missouri and New York. Once rare, dangerous flash flooding emergencies are now a regular part of summer for tens of millions of Americans.
One might think that, in the midst of all of this, there would be major discussions in Congress as to how best to go forward in addressing this existential crisis. Not the case. Insanely, the president of the United States continues to believe that climate change is a “hoax,” and Republican members of Congress are following their “Great Leader” over the cliff. Sadly, too many Democrats think that speaking out on climate change is “bad politics” and have remained far too silent.
That has got to change. The simple truth is that we must forcefully take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry and the stupidity of Trump.
The simple truth is that we can create millions of good-paying union jobs transforming our energy systems away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainable energy.
For the sake of our kids, future generations and the habitability of the planet,that is exactly what we must do.
FDR wasn’t a democratic socialist. He was a capitalist reformer so effective that conservatives still accuse him of socialism 90 years later. In fact, many of FDR's reforms prevented socialism from becoming more popular by making capitalism less brutal during the Depression.
Bill Cassidy voted to convict Trump.
Then Trump turned against him, endorsed his opponent, and helped end his career.
Cassidy owes Trump NOTHING.
And yet, on his way out the door, he still can’t find the courage to stand up to him.
Why?
This is what the complete surrender and defeat looks like:
@SenBillCassidy How can you look at yourself in the mirror? I used to think you were a man of principle. Hope the consulting/lobbying gig is worth your soul
Ohio Trump voters on the economy:
"You can't do anything with gas prices. You can't afford to breathe at this point... I'm very hurt. I try to do a lot for my kids and I can't do much... He needs to look out for the American people instead of himself."
The American Dream has become an American Nightmare.
It’s too expensive to buy a home.
It’s too expensive to get married and have kids.
It’s too expensive to retire comfortably.
The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall.
