@billmaher Bill Good job on the show today pointing out the significance of the VRA being gutted, seriously! I find the New Rule ironic because I often hear you describe what loses votes and who loses the _______ ______ (of) voters. Ok now I see it. Maybe you don’t need a word for it.
Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.
For decades, the world’s scientists and governments have worked together to tackle the most significant challenge of our lifetimes: the climate crisis. The ongoing work of the IPCC, UNFCCC, and other global institutions remains essential to safeguarding humanity’s future. The Trump Administration's decision to remove the United States from these vital organizations sends the wrong message to our allies abroad and fails to protect Americans from increasingly dangerous impacts of the climate crisis at home.
The Trump Administration has been turning its back on the climate crisis since day one, removing the United States from the Paris Agreement, dismantling America’s scientific infrastructure, curbing access to greenhouse gas emissions data, and ending essential investments in the clean energy transition. They've done this at the behest of the oil industry, so that billionaires can rake in even more money while polluting our planet and endangering people in America and around the world.
By withdrawing from the IPCC, UNFCCC, and the other vital international partnerships, the Trump Administration is undoing decades of hard-won diplomacy, attempting to undermine climate science, and sowing distrust around the world.
Fortunately, 198 minus one does not equal zero. While the U.S. federal government sits on the sidelines, world leaders, local and state governments, and the private sector will continue to move forward with the clean energy transition and uphold the goals set forth in the Paris Agreement because it is in their best interest to do so. Clean energy remains the most affordable, scalable, and sustainable solution to meet the energy demands of the future and with this reckless decision the United States will only be left behind.
This is the first step towards ensuring over 20 million Americans can continue to afford health care.
Now, Republicans need to vote with @HouseDemocrats TOMORROW to extend the tax credits — American lives are at stake.
Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Derek Amato calls it a gift. Scientists call it acquired savant syndrome.
Whatever it is, it changed his life forever.

I just heard the need is really great at St John’s Episcopal because homeless encampments were sweeped out of Springfield and Holyoke and many people have come to Northampton:
mostly men, women, + people with TPS and Trans folks who are scared, too. https://t.co/IA2ZA0MudU
All of us - not just those on Medicaid or food stamps - will be directly paying for the costs of the billionaire tax breaks in the Trump budget package. Here's how.
My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.
When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:
“If a phenomenon is measurable, repeatable, and not accounted for by known mechanisms, it should serve as a starting point for inquiry, not the end of the conversation”
