Team Trump Opposed War With Iran. Then They Started One Donald Trump, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Stephen Miller, and so many in MAGA claimed they would stop regime-change wars, not start them. We have the receipts.

“Team Trump Opposed War with Iran. Then They Started One”

Receipts from Zeteo on how Trump, Vance, Gabbard, RFK, Miller et al all said one thing about Iran & regime change wars… but then did the exact opposite:

The Colorado Public Utilities Commission Should Reconsider its Inadequate Pipeline Leak Repair Standards   - Energy Exchange The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (“PUC”) issued a disappointing decision last month, failing to adopt commonsense technology standards to find and fix dangerous leaks from pipelines and ensure...

The Colorado Public Utilities Commission was legally directed to enhance monitoring standards for the majority of the state’s pipelines -- but they missed the mark.

Colorado delivers another win on methane! 👏

New unanimously approved updates to the state's air quality standards will reduce emissions and bring it further into alignment with the 2024 EPA Methane Rule. www.edf.org/media/colora...

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses In an internal memo last year, Meta said the political tumult in the United States would distract critics from the feature’s release.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Except now you force customers to use their phones during a movie. I cancelled my season pass and don’t feel the need to stay loyal to Alamo anymore.

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Just thinking about some of the national security implications of the U.S. government undermining confidence in vaccines and public health.

An illegal biological lab was just busted in Vegas. The owner is being investigated having samples of stuff like HIV, tuberculosis, and Ebola in another…

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Today, the Clear Horizons Act has its first committee hearing.

New Mexico families are already paying higher costs from wildfires, smoke, and extreme weather. Clear Horizons is about planning ahead —protecting family budgets, clean air, and our future. #ClearHorizonsAct #ActOnClimate #NMLeg

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

A gaggle of ICE agents surrounds Alex Pretti with one clearly removing Pretti's gun from the scene while the first shot was fired

Really the only image that matters

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Happy MLK Day! Let’s March!

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Trump administration to freeze billions in childcare funding in five states The White House is pointing to reports of social services fraud in Minnesota to threaten funding for child care around the country.

All because Colorado failed to kiss the ring. The mid-term elections will be a disaster for Republicans. Good riddance to those not standing up for their own constituents.

How the Sydney Shooting Unfolded: Maps and Videos (Gift Article) Two suspects opened fire from a footbridge at hundreds of people who had gathered for a Hanukkah celebration.

Another despicable act of violence and hate. This attack on Hanukkah is yet another example of growing antisemitism worldwide. My heart goes out to my Jewish friends and colleagues. I’m so sorry you had to experience this trauma.

Powerful and savvy move.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

Break a leg!
