Trump’s war on Iran is expected to help push global coal use to record highs this year, as disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz cut off oil and gas supplies: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/c...

The Iran War Is Pushing Global Coal Use to Record Highs

Five years after virtually every world leader agreed to “phase down” the burning of coal for climate reasons, the fuel is more widely used than ever.

In the midst of ICE horror, the Senate needs to prohibit Trump from using ICE as a voter suppression tool. Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must have.
Last chance to do this.

Important reminder that “some” red tape is designed to protect entrenched interests with political power, and some red tape is designed to protect citizens against those entrenched interests. “Abundance” conflates the two, but guess which ones will get overturned If we allow that conflation?
