I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change is driving up homeowners’ insurance costs.
This is just part of Trump’s crooked scheme.
The corruption runs deep when the polluters run the government.

Wow.
Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund.
The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke.
Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.
Next is further response from the retired judges who raised the “fraud on the court” issue, then comes her next ruling.
Stand by and watch this space.
Obviously, they want to avoid discussing their sleazy Trump deal under oath, particularly in front of a judge who can sanction and discipline them.
But it’s a rough look to hide behind Trump’s private lawyers rather than respond, and there’s every reason to believe the judge will notice.
Remember: I know of no time in history when senior DOJ officials were accused of “fraud on the court.” Unthinkable. And they don’t even answer, but hide like rats? Not a good sign for the MAGA DOJ or for its sleazy top officials.
Here’s what’s interesting.
The judge in her order invited a response into (a) whether DOJ policies were violated; (b) whether the parties colluded and deceived the court; and (c) the client (IRS’s) defense memo.
DOJ’s silence is really deafening here, in the wake of that.
That could be US exports if the Orange Doofus wasn’t destroying US EV capacity so his corrupt fossil fuel donors can sell more gasoline.

While Americans are paying more for health care, gas, groceries, and energy, Trump is taking more than $300 million taxpayer dollars and forcing it toward his vanity ballroom project.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen. His own vice president says the terms are still being worked out. Which is it?
We'd know the answer if they released the details of the deal.
Over again, Trump’s cases go to smithereens.

Republicans CHOSE to let the ACA tax credits expire.
Republicans CHOSE to drive up costs and force families to drop insurance.
They chose tax cuts for giant corporations and billions for ICE over health care for American families.
A lotta my stuff in here — the bombs, the zettajoules — but they torched me on graphics. Bravo, NatGeo!!

After spending about a billion tax dollars a day on his illegal war with Iran, Trump is now agreeing to a $300 BILLION Iran reconstruction fund?
The more we learn about this “deal,” the worse it becomes.
There’s a good and just fight to be had — and we better have it now, while there’s still time.
I was glad to join @wrwcri.bsky.social at today’s Woonasquatucket River Greenway ribbon cutting!
Urban green infrastructure projects like these connect neighborhoods while strengthening our local economies and environment.
