Pentagon retreats from climate fight even as heat and storms slam troops For decades, the military treated climate change as a threat. Now it’s backing away from plans to protect people and bases from extreme weather.

Troops are collapsing from heat exhaustion. Military bases are flooding. Planes can’t lift off in hotter air.

But the Pentagon’s new message under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “We don’t do climate change crap.”

The One Move That Tells Us How Crazy-Panicked Trump Is About Epstein LBJ used to have a bourbon with stubborn members of Congress. Trump locks them in the Situation Room.

Just stop and think: We are sitting here, in November 2025, in the middle (or the beginning-middle) of a credible investigation into whether the president of the United States engaged in sex acts with underage girls.

Happy birthday to J. G. Ballard, a writer whose fiction could inspire great and equally quintessential films by both Stephen Spielberg and David Cronenberg, and the man behind some of the uniquely unsettling reading experiences I've ever had.

Marjorie’s getting a taste of how many of us have been living under the Trump regime for years.

If this is what it takes to break the MAGA mass psychosis, so be it.

Trump withdrew support for Marjorie Taylor Greene. Is Lauren Boebert next?

In July, Trump endorsed Boebert, who is also pushing for the Epstein files to be released.

Rep. Tim Burchett, you’re not gonna rewrite history and clean this up — you flip flopped and failed to sign onto the discharge petition, helping to protect powerful pedophiles.

Now he’ll have to go on record. Will you vote to release the files or not?

Mike "Little" Johnson is facing a revolt of over 100 of his caucus switching to yes votes on the discharge petition. The dam broke. No reason to fight it. He is rumored to be bringing the Epstein files vote to the floor.

PEN America joins nearly 300 scholars and writers worldwide—including Fatemeh Shams, Ervand Abrahamian, and Judith Butler—in calling for the unconditional release of a group of prominent scholars, writers, and translators arrested in Iran. pen.org/press-releas...

@michaelfanone.bsky.social on Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino: "He's a very sadistic individual that clearly revels and takes joy in the pain and suffering of others. So I look forward to some accountability when it comes to Bovino and seeing that guy on the other side of jail cell bars."

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Weasel Mike will stop the full vote one way or another.

Trump Slammed After Seemingly Believing Patently False Post From Satirical Website About Obama

He's dangerously gullible.

The corruption never ends

Nope, didn’t help.

Sociopaths say the darndest things.

Am I the only one who really wishes dogs could talk?
