We all wondered how could anybody be worse than Trump’s first presidency. Now we know. Donald J Trump 2.0 has cratered the presidency and American democracy. Tragic

9 renewable energy groups are suing the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth because the military has effectively frozen national security reviews for new wind farm projects. Wind supplies 10% of US electricity, making it our largest renewable electricity source. The backlog endangers $47 billion in investments and over 120,000 jobs across 21 states, with at least 106 projects affected. This is a perfect example of how the military is currently being exploited as a veto on renewable energy. Clean power and thousands of jobs are radically stalled so that the Trump admin can serve fossil fuel barons.

Trump has flooded our streets with rapists, pedophiles, & murderers. 🤬 Jan 6'ers keep reoffending & can't be rehabilitated. Lock them up! Again

The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power. We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.

This blows my mind!!!! Meanwhile we have a candidate in Iowa who is paralyzed & dragging himself & his wheelchair up sets of stairs to knock on the doors of voters. That's the type of Representative/Senator I believe in!

Republican Congressman Tom Kean hasn't been seen in public for over 100 days. This is insane to me, and nobody in Washington gives a damn. He's still trading stocks and introducing legislation. What the hell is going on?

Today marks 30 years since the Dunblane tragedy, when 16 children and their teacher, Gwen Mayor, were taken far too soon at Dunblane Primary School. Gone too soon. Forever remembered. 🤍

One document is all it took to put uranium drills on the Continental Divide Trail. Not a vote. Not a public hearing. Not an environmental review. One filing. Because under a law signed by Ulysses S. Grant in 1872 — written to strip-mine the West during the Gold Rush — any company can stake a claim on federal public land, and the burden falls on the government to prove harm. The company just shows up. Gamma Resources Ltd. showed up in February. Out of Vancouver. $29 million in debt. Zero revenue from operations. Their own auditors have flagged them as a "going concern" — which in financial terms means: we're not sure this company will survive. They've changed their name twice in just over a year. And now they have a legal pathway to drill 12 uranium boreholes — up to 500 feet deep — into New Mexico’s Carson National Forest. Directly on the Continental Divide Trail. In the Chama Basin — the headwaters of the Rio Grande’s largest New Mexico tributary, a watershed that supplies drinking water to over half of New Mexico’s population. More than one million people. Twenty-three tribes and pueblos. Acequia farmers who have drawn clean water from this basin for over 400 years. Families on shallow wells with no alternative water source. They've already identified nearly 3 million pounds of "yellowcake" uranium in the ground. They want to start mining by April 2027. They put it in writing, in their own investor pitch: New Mexico’s land is “low-hanging fruit”. This isn't a loophole. This is the door that was never closed. The General Mining Act of 1872 still governs hardrock mineral rights — including uranium — on 350 million acres of American public land. Under it, foreign companies can freely prospect on land held in trust for every American, extract minerals worth billions, pay zero royalties to the government, and aren't even required to disclose how much they take or what it's worth. It has never been fundamentally reformed. Not once in 154 years. The 1872 Mining Act itself requires no reclamation bond. Zero. No legal requirement to guarantee cleanup. No financial assurance that the land will ever be restored. Nothing. The current administration's "Energy Dominance" orders made it worse — declaring uranium a national priority and signaling to the industry that federal land was open for business. Gamma Resources did the math and liked what they saw. New Mexico's entire congressional delegation has demanded a full environmental review and is drafting legislation to withdraw the Chama watershed from all mineral development. The Continental Divide Trail Coalition has raised the alarm. The Forest Service still hasn't decided if this even requires a full review. A 154-year-old law. A foreign company with no revenue. A watershed tended for centuries by people who were here long before any of this was possible. How is a law written for the Gold Rush in 1872 — still deciding the fate of our Public Lands in 2026? #DemsUnited

“When our genes could not store all the information necessary for survival, we slowly invented brains. But then the time came, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when we needed to know more than could conveniently be contained in brains. So we learned to stockpile enormous quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, so far as we know, to have invented a communal memory stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The warehouse of that memory is called the library. A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.” — Carl Sagan

5. Both Real Change PAC and Progressive Champions PAC list Bryant Bank, a small Alabama bank, as their bank of record. According to FEC records, Bryant Bank has only been used by a few committees connected to Alabama. The most prominent customer of Bryant Bank is Congressman Gary Palmer (R-AL).

Trump pardoned 77 people that stole from Medicare. This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.

Here's what you need to know about DOJ's approval of the Paramount deal: David Ellison gets what he wants -- control over a vast entertainment empire. Donald Trump gets what he wants -- a neutered CBS and CNN. Fight back by supporting independent media. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
