The GOPโs Voter Integrity Sham
Make the Republicans hell bent on passing the SAVE Act put money where their mouths are.
I just applied for a passport renewal. The cost was $149 including postage. Requiring a passport or similar proof of citizenship to vote is thus a poll tax. The SAVE Act before the Senate asks to do just that.
Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them NO SAVE ACT

It never legitimises a landslide. The 2019 Tory landslide was also an artefact of FPTP. 2029 could have small electoral movements bring a Reform landslide. The point is that PR better reflects the voters in a multi party system.

"The collision of a multiparty electorate with a voting system designed for two parties is creating new risks for Britain".
I signed this letter. It's not about blocking Reform;it's about the danger to democracy of a system that can't cope with multiparty voting

Johnson, Gove, Rees-Mogg, and possibly David Davis were plotting with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and white supremacist Steve Bannon to bring down a British Prime Minister. Why this treason isnโt front-page news is a disgrace for the journalistic profession in the UK.

A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each January from 1850 through 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in January 2026 was 1.12ยฐC globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.1.0 on this graphic.
Last month was the 5th warmest January on record globally. This graph compares 2026 with every other January since 1850.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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, weโll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeโall so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
