But all of these things still happen, even with c...

Federal judge rules DOJ can β€˜no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

GOOD NEWS!

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s attempt to halt five major East Coast offshore wind projects, letting construction resume.

These farms will bring clean energy to hundreds of thousands of homes, create jobs, and keep the U.S. moving toward a greener future.

Facts & science matter!

#ClimateAction of the day: Tell Congress to take action to mitigate ocean warming!

Our oceans are massive thermal sinks that absorb nearly all the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases.

That makes ocean temperature one of the clearest signals of planetary warming... and it’s warming fast ‡️

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. 

Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that never fully break down. Instead, they accumulate -- in our water, our food, and eventually in our organs.

One of the main ways they enter our bodies? The water we drink ‡️
