Microplastics are everywhere, in the air, and our bodies. This horrifying thought should force us to reduce plastic use wherever possible.

Opinion | How Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Will Make China Great Again

Trump and his GOP cronies deliberate sabotage of the clean energy industry to help fossil fuel donors is breathtakingly shortsighted.

Opinion | The America We Knew Is Rapidly Slipping Away

If the US government can’t provide truthful and factual information for the public and instead produces propaganda to please certain politicians, trust is forever eroded.

That would be good. At Bylines Network several of our publications are doing our best to shine a light on what is actually going on exposing the reality behind the snappy slogans and flashy smiles

Hopefully with the advent of the few intellect free Reform councils, maybe the press will start to watch all councils a lot closer to see if they measure up on things like attendance, policies etc.

She absolutely hates them. They want to cut pensions, and because they don't typically pay enough in public sector salaries, they compensate for it with very generous pensions. Reform wants to do away with that.

It must be very hard for your sister right now

😨 TRUMP wants to build a NUCLEAR REACTOR on the MOON 🌙

…but apparently we can’t afford FOOD and MEDICAL CARE for KIDS 🤨

Dems used to favor a two-state solution, in fact both Biden and Harris did.

Trump is mad that Gaza hasn't personally thanked him for that one time he sent food a while ago. And he is threatening anyone who recognizes Palestinian statehood.

This happened because Netanyahu used Biden, and now he’s using Trump.
This entire genocide has been conducted by Netanyahu, but fully funded by American taxpayers.
