Passionate about resisting rising fascism, closely following U.S. politics, and advocating for LGBTQI+ rights. Living between Berlin and Paris. Climate change, inequality are our greatest challenges.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Fox Propaganda wanted President Obama in jail for ObamaCare and called President Biden a dictator for trying to erase student debt, but haven’t said one word about the orange felon trying to fund Jan 6 terrorists, protecting pedos or committing money laundering. Funny how that works.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

First it was Iran to push the Epstein files off the front page. Then, when the Iran war turned into a fiasco, it was back to the 2020 election and Covid. Every crisis needs a new distraction.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

40% der AKW-Kraftwerkskapazität nicht verfügbar. In diesem Sommer kommen Nukis, Klimaleugner und Schwurbler in der harten Realität der globalen Erhitzung an. PS: Der Sommer ist noch nicht vorbei! montelnews.com/news/c65ea15...

40% of SE European nuclear capacity offline amid drought

About 40% (2.44 GW) of southeast Europe’s nuclear capacity is offline as Danube drought forces Paks, Cernavoda reductions; governments urge savings amid heatwave.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

NOTE: The lawyer/law firm that represented Trump in his Capital One money laundering lawsuit is the same lawyer Judge Williams referred to the bar for disciplinary action in the bogus Trump IRS lawsuit that resulted in the slush fund and tax immunity.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

"Es ist sinnlos, ein AfD-Verbot zu fordern, die Regierung will das nicht" Und forderst du nie was, wenn die Regierung das gerade nicht will? Wenn Merz einmal "Nein" sagt gibst du alles auf? Nur weil es nicht von alleine passiert, heißt das nicht, dass man was nicht fordern soll. Im Gegenteil!?

Wrote this over the weekend: I was really worried when my parents showed up with a new Ioniq 6 lease in the middle of rural North Carolina. There aren’t many charging stations, and this was now their only car. Turns out, my worrying was for nothing. They love it. insideevs.com/features/803...

I Was Worried When My Parents Went Full EV, But They Proved Me Wrong

Even if you’re in your 70s and in Rural North Carolina, it’s not hard to live a full EV lifestyle.

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

JUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
