Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Since we canโ€™t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, weโ€™re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyyโ€™s plane & itโ€™s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. Weโ€™ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesnโ€™t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism:

โ€œWe want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of
Europe, while restoring Europeโ€™s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.โ€

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is

The shift to EVs is happeningโ€”fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel.

China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe arenโ€™t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.

Nearly every single supporter of humans being blown up into a thousand pieces on boats have โ€œChristianโ€ in their profile.

These people will harp on about a line in Leviticus.

But will ignore one of GODโ€™S Commandments.

Thou Shalt NOT commit murder.

I strongly support the author's goal of ensuring quality care and access to evaluation and treatment of perimenopause and menopause symptoms. However, these factors, along with a lack of clarity in AB 432 regarding undefined terms, still raise significant cost and implementation concerns. The Legislature has twice now sent me a bill that does not strike the important, and achievable, balance between expanding access to this essential treatment and the affordability of care. This is especially important as consumers are facing double-digit rate increases in their health care premiums across the nation.

Every time somebody (Halle Berry today) gets pissed off at Gavin Newsom for vetoing something, I have learned to find out why he did so.

I learned this when I found out he vetoed a bill that would have eliminated an already existing, better funded and wider reaching, program with the same purpose.
