Amazing that the Trumpiest extreme of the extremist wing went with Trump even on something clear as this. It should have been 9-0, but then so should the presidential immunity decision, and it was 6-3 for the extremists’ anti-constitutional invention.
Another anti-democracy decision by the extremist wing of the Court, privileging even more the power of big money, just as the big-money interests that assembled this Court wish; just as the billionaire-funded flotilla of amici instructed.
Civilizations fail when resources fail. For them, in a simpler world, it was sub-Saharan aquifers. For us, in a complex world, it’s climate stability. Climate stability is an essential resource for human well-being.

Donald Trump spent millions of YOUR money on no-bid contracts for his failed reflecting pool project.
Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.
Once again, SCOTUS makes the pro-corruption decision.
Regulatory decisions that have for decades been trustworthy are now amenable to political fix by a president’s henchmen, in this dark-money political world.
Republican senators who vote to confirm Blanche are deluding themselves if they believe he will do anything but accelerate the weaponization of the justice system.
Supreme Court decides Congress has no power to put restrictions on positions Congress creates (once again reversing precedent).
Building an imperial presidency and stripping power from the people’s representatives is a hell of a way to celebrate the 250th.

When Moody’s is posting trillion-dollar flood loss warnings, might it be time to start paying attention?
Insurance markets are already staggering. Mortgage and real estate markets follow. The warnings are real and many.
You can’t claim to “appreciate things” as you sacrifice them.
Trump is having tourists arrested over imaginary vandalism.

How do you know the Iran negotiations are going poorly? Because JD Vance says one thing, Iranian negotiators say another, and Trump tweets about algae in the reflecting pool.
Another unprepared and unqualified Trump nominee.

In Trump’s post-Roe America:
—20+ states have total or near-total abortion bans
—Women have to travel hundreds of miles to get care they need
—Patients & doctors punished like criminals for lifesaving treatment
Republicans can’t hide from the pain they've inflicted on women

Trump is intent on raising Americans’ prices.
His disastrous war of choice, his painful tariffs, and his refusal to do anything on housing have already spiked inflation. It’s only going to keep soaring higher.

"That's it?" -- Durbin confronts a Trump DOJ nominee named Konstantinos Ligris with some of his tweets -- including calling Walz "tampon Tim," Biden officials "retarded," and referring to cops as "dumb as dirt" -- and Ligris doesn't even try to defend them, leaving Durbin dumbfounded
If he was out to deliberately poke a stick in Leader Thune’s eye, he could hardly have done better. Add the Pulte/702 fiasco. Add the Blanche vote, after his Trump/Epstein Files disaster and his slush fund mess. Add Reflecting Poll and JFK disasters. It’s piling up.
I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change poses a threat to home values and the mortgage market.

More than 5 million people have lost Medicaid and ACA coverage. It's not an accident:
Republicans approved nearly $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts last year.
Now we're seeing the real-life consequences of those decisions.
