A win! A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s pause on issuing visas to immigrants from 75 countries. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas found the policy was “contrary to law” and went beyond Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s legal authority.

The peasants aren't allowed to know where their foreign beef comes from.

"This incurious and inexperienced person, armed with little more than a threadbare resume and no shortage of hubris, has been vaulted into a Senate vacancy and doesn’t seem to have any qualification for it beyond direct nepotism."

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels

Instead of fighting senseless wars, we should be fighting climate change. Instead of building data centers, we should be building housing. Instead of corporate welfare give us universal healthcare.

A win! A federal appeals court upheld an EPA rule requiring polluters to help pay for cleaning up toxic PFAS “forever chemicals,” rejecting an industry challenge to the rule. This keeps the financial burden where it belongs on the companies responsible for the pollution!

On the left: Oliver North, convicted for his role in illegally selling missiles to Iran during the Reagan administration. On the right: Fox News “military analyst” Oliver North, who thinks Iran shouldn’t have missiles. Same guy. Same Oliver North.
When a President with his own plane claims it's too hard for him to vote in person, would GOP politicians and Fox News like to explain why, for example, a working mother or someone working two jobs to pay the rent should have no problem waiting in line on election day?
