PSA for Tennessee media: you are either calling out Rep Ogles’ racism for what it is, or you are normalizing it. There is no third option.

HOW MANY MORE OIL WARS WILL WE ALLOW?

The climate fight for clean energy is a fight for peace & stability.

Beware false solutions like "green" hydrogen, pushed by methane companies (aka, natural gas).

There is only one CA Gov candidate who gets it: Betty Yee!

Federal agents lied about why they shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis. Their story quickly fell apart. The attack marked the only time that federal authorities admitted wrongdoing during Operation Metro Surge.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”

None of it was true.

2008: Fragile economy. Oil surges past $100/barrel. System spirals.

2026: Trump starts a war with Iran. Strait of Hormuz closes. Oil headed toward $100/barrel.

Doesn’t take a finance whiz to predict the next major financial crisis.

I oversaw counterterrorism at DHS for two years in the first Trump administration.

I’ve never seen DHS less prepared to defend the U.S. against a terrorist attack.

And Trump took us to war five days ago — with a country that is hellbent on retaliating.

Kristi Noem will be remembered for treating the American people like she treated her dogs.

Terrible tragedies are coming. And the Republican Party owns them. Trump has thrown America into financial crisis, expanding war, and a surging terror threat. The only good news is that he's all-but-guaranteed Republicans will lose in November.

“Republicans own this…They lashed themselves to the president with ball-and-chain oblivion. Now there’s no daylight left between them and the decisions producing $100 oil… a financial crisis… and a terror threat level that’s blinking red.”

My former GOP colleagues are still “standing by their man” — the month he starts a war, slaughters civilians, starts a global financial panic, puts Americans in the crosshairs of terrorist attacks, and is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl.

Good luck in the midterms.

Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

What exactly is the Pentagon paying these AI companies to do to us?

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social calls out ogles

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

We are STILL in a government shutdown‼️

They’re not getting paid so those airport lines are only going to get longer.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

🛢️🇺🇸 Trump is considering measures to keep oil below $100 a barrel amid the Iran war, ahead of the November midterms, - Reuters

Options discussed with the G7 and U.S. agencies include releasing strategic reserves, limiting exports, intervening in futures markets, waiving taxes, and easing Jones Act.

Fat Nixon FAILED to replenish the strategic oil reserves, claiming he was waiting for the prices to go down first, so he KNEW he was going to wreck the oil markets with this war, and did it anyway

It's all absurd.

WTH is the point of this war.

Instead of any of this nonsense that he is proposing, we should be swithching asap to wind, solar, and geothermal.

Why are we spending billions on another useless war in the middle east?

Climate change is speeding up — the pace nearly doubled in ten years Earth is now warming at a rate of around 0.35 ºC per decade, fresh analysis finds.

Here is what the journal Nature has to say about our paper on the increasing rate of #globalwarming:

Nasdaq Partners With Kraken in Plan for 24/7 Tokenized Stock Trading Nasdaq sought approval in September to let investors trade tokenized versions of its listed stocks and other exchange-traded products.

Someone please make this make sense.

"The framework is expected to launch in early 2027 and grant holders of the tokenized shares the same governance rights as those investors who own the underlying securities."

Good god.
It's theft on an unimagineable scale

As a result, stablecoins have grown to $300 billion in market value from roughly $20 billion in 2020. The Federal Reserve estimates they could be worth $3 trillion in five years. Because stablecoins use Treasuries as the primary collateral to create this cashlike safety, cryptocurrencies have effectively flooded into the Treasury market, the central artery of the U.S.-led global financial network. Stablecoin-issuing companies, like Circle and Tether, now hold more Treasury debt than major U.S. government creditors like Saudi Arabia and South Korea. Some experts fear that the next crypto crash could cascade into major losses for the highly sensitive short-term U.S. debt markets in which Treasuries predominate. The open question for regulators, bankers and the Trump administration is whether the growing centrality of the coins carries more upside or downside risks.

What could possibly go wrong?

O good god.
We are over the falls.

The fun part is that this is, more or less, by design. Like, this is the outcome the US government was hoping for
