Convicted predators who rape and abuse children shouldn’t qualify for pardon consideration. A president who can’t immediately say “absolutely not” when I asked if he’s considering such a pardon should be hounded out of office.

The question is, what happens during the “find out” part. Trump’s base has been remarkably loyal, always supporting him instead of their own self interest & buying his lies.

Thanks, I will! You make a great point! I am not an engineer but was thinking more about flood zone networks when rising to a certain level that would trigger a safe even filtered release! Contamination of toxic chemicals (paint, fuel, refrigerants, etc) dispersed during floods is bad for wildlife!

I know not as lucrative as oil pipelines, (yet)! I just think we or some engineers are smart enough to figure out a system, but I am a pollyanna and climate events are beating us too often!

Why can’t we have pipelines to drought areas built by Army Corps of Engineers in every flood zone?

Today, a United States Senator was arrested for asking a question of a federal official, in a federal building, as was his right.

If it can happen to a sitting U.S. Senator, it can happen to anyone.

Silence is complicity. We are at a crossroads. We must speak up.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

In my latest Intel Briefing, I break down more on the President's budget proposals:

1️⃣ His tax plan that cuts health care and skews benefits to the wealthy
2️⃣ Research cuts that cede ground to China
3️⃣ A provision that makes it easier to ignore federal court orders

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

When Mr. Musk, the wealthiest man alive & major campaign contributor, expresses strong distaste for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, Republicans will listen & obey. That means more cuts to Medicaid, nutrition & education.

The oligarchs want it ALL. We’re not going to let that happen.

And all those "budget saving" Medicaid cuts DO NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL 2029 !!!

The U.S. Under Trump: Alone in Its Climate Denial

The US is now almost alone in climate change denial. Worse, the Trump administration is destroying even our capacity to understand it

“In my home, the America I love that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." - Bruce Springsteen

Gosh, I wonder why? 🤨

The Treasury Secretary Is Wrong About How Most Retirees See the Stock Market We asked readers who were on the cusp of retirement whether they were watching the markets. About 400 replied.

“They have no idea how ordinary people live.”

The Trump Administration may think that Americans who want to retire are not paying attention to the stock market, but they are watching — and want the chaos and confusion to end.

The budget from congressional Republicans gives $25 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy and big corporations over the next 30 years, and pays for it by raising costs, taking away health care, and threatening the economic security of everyday Americans.

This morning we learned that a well-known white nationalist met with the President and convinced him to fire several qualified generals for no reason.

My concern is that this is the new normal. And that service to country no longer means anything to those in power.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

The GOP budget cuts Medicaid and takes away your health care. It’s immoral & wrong.

Even worse, Republicans are doing this to give a massive tax break to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Listen to what one Coloradan told me about how these cuts would impact their family👇

America’s clean air rules boost health and the economy − here’s what EPA’s new deregulation plans ignore Clean air has become one of America’s best investments, returning $10 for every $1 spent on regulations, by one estimate.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth.

An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.

No pay wall.
