Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

Social Security turns 91 today, but thanks to rising inequality it may not live to see many more birthdays. I used to be a Social Security trustee — here's how we can fix it without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

A Florida Republican Sheriff, Grady Judd, announced the arrest of 266 defendants in a sex trafficking scheme & minced no words. He identified influencer Craig Long, who he said moved in high circles including with the president, holding up a picture of Long with Trump www.youtube.com/watch?v=x03q...

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop. (Published Nov. 2025)

Lots of the usual eye-rolling & sighing from Far Right politicians & 'concerned citizens' every time someone calls them 'fascistic'. Easy answer. Stop acting like facists. You either know you're doing it or you're just bone ignorant. (Anyway, Rod Serling was outlining how fascism works in the 60s)

Fact check: mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia). This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs. Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.
