The Independent: July is typically the warmest month of the year, but this could be the hottest ever in the US. “Heat waves are becoming more intense, lasting longer & covering larger areas than they used to because of human-caused climate change.” #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
A month after Air Force Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps calling for Trump and Vance’s impeachment, D.C. prosecutors have declined to pursue the criminal charge against him. He still faces action from the Air Force. Stay critical. Stay informed.

Trump, his family, and his Republican enablers have built an economy for millionaires and billionaires only. While they all make bank, millions of Americans face bankruptcy. All because of Trump’s self-serving tariffs and endless wars of choice. November can’t get here soon enough.

Senator John McCain warned us about Rand Paul when he said, “The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”
I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.

Independent analysis shows the bill for Trump’s reckless and illegal war of choice with Iran could be well over $100 BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS. Enough to extend the Biden Administration's child tax credit—which cut child poverty in half—for an entire year!
