As an Iowan, I'm more concerned about the Iowa Attorney General turning our voting records over to the Department of Justice. If Chuck cared about Iowa, he would be too. #fuckchuck

This televised execution thing is really horrifying. And probably the best we can hope for is for no one to watch and make it a total ratings failure. Trump is doing murder porn for attention, and he should not succeed at that. If people watch, he'll do it again.

We Need to Stop Talking Like Climate Change Is Partisan
Climate change should be seen as a shared challenge to solve together, not a political debate, write Katharine Hayhoe and Dana R. Fisher.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

There is no one better at calling out #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS than Bobby De Niro. He has this administration pegged as well as Congress and SCOTUS. ‘The Executive has descended into a cesspool of corruption, stupidity and cruelty.’ You’ll want to watch this, it’s pure🔥🔥💥💥💥

Schools, fire depts., police, streets, parks, street lights, and much more. I consider the services my property taxes on my mortgage free home give me well worth the money.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Epstein ran a horrific child trafficking ring that the President and his friends participated in. Fauci asked you to stand six feet apart so your grandparents wouldn’t die alone in a nursing home. Let’s be for real here. We get midterms are coming, but attacking Fauci is over.

We all know this is true. The SC knew it too, which is why they gave him immunity. But if the immunity was supposed to just be for official acts, why are they using it to cover everything, including insurrection and treason?

Years ago, I had a fawn follow me on a trail run. I stopped and scolded it a couple of times and after a while it lost interest. Urban deer do not fear humans, dogs, I'm not sure.

The solar panels are a great idea. However, I don't know how safe I'd feel on a bike with 70+ MPH traffic speeding by me in two directions.

A tree is not merely wood; it is a natural air conditioner, a source of oxygen, a support for rainfall, and a sanctuary for birds. It is a safeguard for our future. When we cut down trees, we lose more than just greenery; we invite heat, drought, pollution, and suffering. 🌳 Save trees. Save lives.

For the next 135 days, our first and most important goal is to end Republican control of Congress, thereby limiting Trump’s reign of criminality, corruption, cruelty, and treachery. This is a moral imperative for every one of us who believes in a decent society.
