Making a list,
Checking it twice...
Still no contributions to me.
The Republican problem on health care is that they only know what they’re against. They’ve never had a serious proposal that the public would tolerate. Now they’re stuck.
May be discharge petition time!
The peer-reviewed methodology of the International Monetary Fund puts the pollute-for-free subsidy of fossil fuel — in the United States alone — at $700 billion dollars per year. That’s a lot of liability they’re hiding from.
This is what happens when you let Belgian bankers decide a grave global security matter.

New episode! Senator @whitehouse.senate.gov joins me & @johnfugelsang.bsky.social to expose MAGA’s new tactic: attacking the judges who enforce the rule of law. We dig into Trump’s abuses & what Congress can do to protect democracy. Listen now:

He wasn’t sleeping, he was checking his eyelids for leaks.
Carefully.
As one does.
Cheaper for Big Oil to buy Congress than to pay taxes. Let alone pay for the harm of their pollution.
The international community should be doing much more against the shadow fleet: false flags, shell corporations, maritime insurance, satellite surveillance, etc.

If Trump was serious about stopping drug traffickers, he wouldn’t be doing them favors.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016: "... that's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their Commander in Chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos.
Me in 2025: "You can refuse illegal orders."
Watch for yourself.
That’s not “fog of war.” That’s one small sunk boat overflown by close surveillance, with survivors visibly hanging on to wreckage.
This belies Trump’s “concern” about drug trafficking. Eventually we will find out the corrupt back story.
The incontrovertible fact is that the second strike killed two helpless and likely wounded survivors of the first strike, hanging on to wreckage in the ocean.
The smile on Putin’s face is telling.
The Republicans’ problem is that their entire health care plan has been to be against stuff: Medicare, Medicaid, Affordable Care.
Their “plans” are an incoherent grab-bag of billionaire-funded policy junk that consumers will hate. Bring it on.
Not sympathetic. They really finked out under phony ESG pressure from fossil fuel.
And there’s another danger: the looming Great Climate Insurance Collapse, already spiraling in Florida.

Equal parts gangster and gong show at MAGA DOJ.
Captured Court, funded by creepy billionaires, defending $700 billion annual U.S. subsidy for Big Oil.
