This reminds me of the time James Inhofe threw a snowball and declared it proves climate change doesn’t exist!

If a person does not see the whole picture, one can be persuaded by any false or misleading claim.

Apparently, Amanda does not see the whole picture.

I say it again and again...the Repugnican party must be totally obliterated in the upcoming elections, so that there will never be even the remotest possibility that a shitshow like this can ever happen again.

Vote as if your very existence depends on it ... BECAUSE IT DOES!!!

As some states try to show ICE the door, others put out the welcome mat After ICE federal agents killed two U.S. citizens in Minnesota, the divide between states on either side of the immigration enforcement debate is growing wider.

Meanwhile TN, KY, NH put out the welcome mat:

“Tennessee…provides grants to law enforcement agencies that work with ICE…Republican lawmakers in the state are considering making that voluntary program involuntary as part of a bigger immigration package.“

Call & complain!

Note vehicle fires from mostly combustion engine vehicles of “215,096 vehicle fires in the United States from 2018–2022” (see: www.nfpa.org/education-an...

Ok, I’ll bite…
1) We rely on the People
2) Too many are swayed by lies from right-leaning media & politicians
3) politicians CURRENTLY in power have a direct ability to course correct this wayward ship
4) Relying on Democrats & reasonable Republicans in power to course correct is a viable strategy

The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

Please forgive me for posting off-topic, but this alarming article is not getting enough coverage on social media.

This will potentially impact EVERYONE regardless of demographics or political affiliation.

The operative words are “…under our system of regulation”.

That regulatory system is being relaxed by this Administration WITHOUT a period of public comment.

This is alarming!

"They're taking a wrecking ball to the system of nuclear safety and security regulation oversight that has kept the U.S. from having another Three Mile Island accident," said Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Please repost this on your account. This article points to a potentially very serious breach of public safety of EVERYONE, regardless of your political affiliation.

It is an important article to read.

We need to exclusively support ALL Democrats, even the ones we feel are “weak”.

The only way to beat Republicans at this game is by unity of Party.

We ALL know what Congress SHOULD DO, but so long as Republicans control both chambers & the Executive branch, there is no possibility of justice.

Not “some”…ALL Senators & House members in unison to say “NOT ON MY WATCH!”

It would merely be a symbolic gesture.

It would be so much more useful to prepare legislation NOW so WHEN Democrats get majority in both chambers in 2027 that they restore Executive oversight & immediately enact legislation to bring back medical & programs to help US Citizens

Be smart & effective!

This is why a WORKING legislative branch was designed to control the Executive branch.

The Repub majority has capitulated to the point of being a lame duck branch. The same is true for SCOTUS.

Induction burners are awesome!

Quick on/off, easily controlled cooking just like gas burners, safer cooking than gas or resistive heat coils, no noxious gases given off like gas burners do, easier cleanup than gas burners, and ultimately saves energy.

P.S. hot pot looks 😋 delicious.

Rhetorical question…

Shock, awe…and distract.

Yup, efficient/timely public transit is a joy to ride where it exists (Europe, Asia, some cities in the US). Who wouldn’t want to catch up on reading/writing/texts during a commute instead of worrying about traffic?

Well said.

This is a choice for consumers & industry

1) stop buying gas guzzlers. Buy EVs, hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrids.
2) reduce energy & food waste
3) support solar & wind electricity generation. Buy clean energy.
4) buy electric heat pumps instead of natural gas/heating oil

Mr. Kinzinger,

Might doesn’t make right.
Whether Maduro had stolen an election is not for the US to unilaterally decide & act upon. There are international courts for that purpose.

Trump’s focus on oil is alarming. The school bully taking lunch money from a weaker classmate is not defendable.

The operative question is:

“What can any group of people do about it when the legislative and judicial branches of government have seemingly capitulated to the executive branch?”

Proclaiming it should not be so does not reverse the outcome or the illegal acts.

For those with experience: LEAD.

Yup.

“Pay attention to what they DO, and not just what they SAY!”

I’m sure you know that solar and wind are the least expensive forms of unsubsidized electricity generation. (See: Lazard)

Unlike all fossil fuels, they are non-polluting at its source of generation, which is a win-win for all, including the children of consumers.

Regarding safety:

there are FAR more injuries & fatalities due to carrying a volatile liquid (gasoline) in a tank in a vehicle!

The internal combustion engine is at most 30% energy efficient (70% of energy is lost to waste heat). An electric motor is 95% energy efficient.

For every $3.00 in gasoline, at most, 90 cents of energy goes to moving a vehicle, $2.10 is wasted energy.

But, $3.00 of pollution!

Why burn fuels?
