The Arctic Circle just reached a temperature that once seemed almost impossible for such a frozen region: above 100°F, or 38°C … a shocking first … fragile regions are rapidly changing. Sometimes one number can tell a much bigger story … climate change is no longer distant. It’s here. It’s now.
Now, after refusing to provide a full accounting of who paid or where the money went, Freedom 250 wants taxpayers to cough up another $10 million. Absolutely not. When I say this is the most corrupt administration in American history, I am not kidding.
As millions of Americans lose their healthcare and food aid and struggle to deal with surging gas and grocery prices, what are Senate Republicans focused on? Protecting Trump's sweetheart IRS immunity deal. Priorities.

Iran has been helping Ru since 2022. Now that Ukr has struck an Iranian military shipment, the right questions to ask are: why isn’t Iran focusing on its own défense? Will it finally reconsider aiding Ru and stop risking more Ukr strikes? « Why would Zelensky do this » is the wrong question!

But my guess is that the war suits China just fine. Russia is selling them gold. Russia, with every year, becomes more dependent. And what's not to like about that?
If you think your energy bills are already too high, they’re about to get worse. The Trump administration is rolling back energy efficiency standards for appliances, cars, and buildings. Less efficiency = more energy use = higher bills. Your wallet will notice.
