Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer

What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Since when does an EO give him 'emergency' powers over voting anyway? Would be the first time in 250 years.

DHS spent yesterday replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge last night showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed. Disgusting liars and criminals.

Why doesn't a 5 or 6 year statute of limitations apply in this case, or doesn't that apply to civil cases?

lol. Now we have to import more white (english-speaking) people because white, english-speaking people are getting dangerously close to becoming a minority in the US?

How does that not contravene a bunch of anti-trust laws, or is anti-trust law even on the books anymore?
