Sea Level Mis-information from DOE Here in the USA, the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a report titled β€œA Critical Review of the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” It is a product of the &#8…

That's just one of many instances of distortion and misinformation in the US Department of Energy "Critical Review on the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions".
Which in fact is a fossil fuel propaganda scam.
Let's hope Americans are not that easily fooled.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Infographic titled β€œOne Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show:
	β€’	Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.
	β€’	Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.

Key takeaway box below reads:
β€œUsing its β€˜shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.”

Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.

The Supreme Court’s β€œshadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.

When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.

For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

Exclusive: Top Trump Adviser Sergio Gor Was Born in the Soviet Union The birthplace of U.S. President Donald Trump’s director of personnel has been the subject of media speculation β€” fuelled by his refusal to answer the question.

seems to me that someone who lies about where they were born shouldn't be working in the White House

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

once you've switched off your humanity enough to buy concentration camp merch, I'm really not sure how you could ever switch it back on.

A post by JD Vance . It says:

Everything elseβ€”the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policyβ€”is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions.

Rarely has MAGA policy been so clearly articulated.

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wageβ€”but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill

It’s 2AM on a Sunday and I’m heading to the Capitol to FORCE a full reading of the Republicans’ 940-page bill.

This bill will rip health care coverage away from 16 million people and cut food assistance.

It’s sick. And we will not stand for it.

We need a full-on ban on corporate PAC money. I’m one of six U.S. Senators who has never taken corporate PAC checks. Six out of 100. The middle class doesn’t have a lobbyist. They don’t have a super PAC. They don’t have a corporate PAC. But they should have the Democratic Party.
