This summer will bring a record-breaking Super El Niño, with extreme heat, flooding, and wildfires. We must act on climate before our planet is pushed to worse extremes. Just because Republicans stopped fighting climate change doesn't mean that climate change stopped fighting us.

Climate change alarms are flashing. Washington isn't paying attention.
The Trump administration has swept away climate change policies, Democrats are focused on energy costs and environmental groups have gone quiet.

Using plutonium for nuclear power is stupid and dangerous. This material is used in nukes, and it’s too unsafe for widespread commercial use. Do we want Iran using plutonium in its reactor? No. Only Trump’s get-rich-quick bros would come up with this corrupt and moronic scheme.
Graphic of headline that reads, "U.S. Seeks to Give Weapons-Grade Plutonium to Start-Ups for Fuel. Companies say it’s a better way to dispose of the Cold War-era material — and fix a shortage of nuclear fuel. But the plan has also faced criticism from nonproliferation experts." Behind the headline is a photo of a man working with radioactive materials at a plutonium facility at the at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1978. Full text of story linked in reply.
Trump's war in Iran created a gas price crisis--and oil companies are capitalizing on it. Americans are paying 50% more for gas since Trump’s war began, while Big Oil rakes in windfall profits. That’s why I’m demanding the FTC investigate this price gouging.

	US oil producers are increasing output to capitalise on the energy crisis prompted by Donald Trump’s war in Iran and expectations that crude prices will remain higher for longer.

Robert Kilduff Jr. was a hero who spent his career bravely running toward danger in service to country and community. His dedication as a firefighter and servicemember knew no bounds and will be remembered by all. My prayers are with his family, his crew, and his loved ones.

As families travel for Memorial Day Weekend, parents could get stuck with expensive fees if they want to sit with their young children on a plane. I’m demanding the DOT implement my law to ban these fees so that families won’t have to pay more while airlines rake in profits.
Four years ago today, the Buffalo community was forever changed when a gunman murdered 10 Black Americans at a local grocery store. We honor their memories by continuing the fight against gun violence, hate, and extremism in all its forms.
Trump’s attacks on transgender Americans are an assault on civil rights and dignity. But together, we will work toward a future in which every person is treated with equality & the humanity they deserve. Read my new report on Trump’s attacks and how we’re fighting back.

Thank you, Stephen Colbert, for years of laughter, and speaking truth to power and never backing down. The Late Show is ending under the shadow of FCC pressure and corporate fear. The FCC’s job is to protect the public interest, not serve Trump’s interest.

Stephen Colbert is saying goodbye to 'The Late Show.' How it ends is still a secret
From apnews.com
Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense—using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. Impeach now.
Trump’s planning for his reckless Iran war has been a disaster. He wanted to put former President Ahmadinejad in charge, who supports the Iran nuclear program. Then Trump tried to “free” him but injured him instead. This is not a joke. This war has been Trump’s mistake from the start. End it now.
Early War Goal Was to Install Hard-Line Former President as Iran’s Leader
An Israeli strike designed to free Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from house arrest in Tehran, U.S. officials said, was part of an effort to bring about regime change and put him in power.
