Great for embracing the taco culture! But also... "can easily start a taco business because all they have to do is prepare fillings and put them on tortillas." 🤔 #NotEveryTacoIsAGoodTaco

Welcome? This witless chowderhead doesn't know that passports are issued to US citizens for use traveling abroad? Welcome? Christ, he's so relentlessly stupid.
Trump post showing him on the new passport saying "the USA's new passport which says "welcome but be good."

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

RIDICULOUS! Trump's DOJ appointed Exxon Mobil lawyer Robert Levy to lead their new "Energy & Natural Resources Division." Under this admin, Big Oil is practically in charge of policy. Real people will suffer as these polluters are given the green light to poison the planet.

Today, SCOTUS struck down Trump’s anti-birthright citizenship EO . A huge relief, but I’m alarmed this no-brainer ruling was 5-4, rather than unanimous as it should have been.

The grid is in better shape this summer. Thank solar and batteries.
Nationwide grid reliability has improved since last summer — and new solar and batteries, not aging coal plants, are the main reason.
