Bribing Americans will not work. If you do the MATH - in this economy, 5K will not last the average American more than a couple months. Meanwhile, fascism will remain long after that snake gets put out of the White House. Trump banks on stupidity. Never forget that!

It’s not that I think people who commit heinous crimes don’t deserve to die. But I’ll never support the death penalty as long as our justice system is unjust. An unjust system should never have the power to make irreversible decisions, especially when Black people disproportionately pay the price.

You don’t have to agree with one another to recognize that the government should not get to decide which journalists have access based on whether it likes their reporting. This is exactly the kind of solidarity we need when press freedom is challenged. 💚✊

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central And more... With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told. Shameful.

Best moments of today. Trump’s war with the media doesn’t appear to be going quite as planned. First, he held a White House event where he could be seen speaking but nobody could hear what he was saying because the TV press pool wasn’t there to provide coverage.

Rep. Joyce Beatty tells Scott MacFarlane about the chaotic Kennedy Center board meeting where she says Trump resorted to “raising his voice” and calling people “dumb,” “garbage” and “incompetent.” When Trump told Beatty, “I think you’re incompetent,” she fired back: “I know you’re incompetent.”

Climate change isn’t just about heat. A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, increasing extreme rainfall. Rising seas worsen coastal flooding. Heat threatens health and ecosystems. These aren’t distant predictions. They’re measurable changes happening now. #vote science.nasa.gov/climate-chan...

Climate change: global temperature
Earth's surface temperature has risen about 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the start of the NOAA record in 1850. It may seem like a small change, but it's a tremendous increase in stored heat.

Trump and his allies are escalating claims about noncitizen voting before the midterms. Federal law already prohibits it, documented cases are rare, and election officials say safeguards are in place. When the evidence is scarce but the warnings are constant, distrust may be the point.

*END BIG TECH TAX GIVEAWAYS BY REPEALING THE STATE'S DATA CENTER SALES TAX EXEMPTION
*MAKE DATA CENTERS PAY FOR THEIR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE INSTEAD OF SHIFTING GRID COSTS TO TEXAS FAMILIES
*PROTECT THE ELECTRIC GRID WITH STRONGRT STANDARDS FOR LARGE ENERGY USERS 
*REQUIRE WATER CONSERVATION INCLUDING CLOSED LOOP WATER RECYCLING SYSTEMS
*GIVE LOCAL COMMUNITIES A VOTE ON WHETHER LARGE DATA CENTERS CAN BE BUILT
*INCREASE TRANSPARENCY BY PUBLICLY DISCLOSING TAX INCENTIVES AND SUBSIDIES

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.
