Since Trump doesn't seem to know the difference, let us make it clear: 1. It’s called CLIMATE change, not weather change. The climate is still warming over a long period of time even when it's cold outside. 2. Climate change is making extreme weather events, including winter storms, more intense.

Liar Trump claims there was “no inflation” during his first term. Reality check: consumer prices rose about 8% from the first day of his term to the last day, with an inflation rate of 2.46%. Truth matters. Spread it around.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job.

Johnson's refusal to seat Rep.-elect Grijalva for SEVEN WEEKS wasn't just a disservice to the people of Arizona. It was a cheap partisan ploy to obstruct the democratic process. Oh yeah, and she also would be the breaking vote on releasing the Epstein files, so there's that.
