He never did lower egg prices, instead he just said theyโ€™re lower (theyโ€™re not).

He never did release the Epstein files, instead he just said theyโ€™re a hoax (theyโ€™re not).

If you call yourself a follower of Jesus Christ but support the pepper-spraying and arresting ministers, then thou art staggeringly full of crap.

Tascha gave so many people the courage to knock that first door, make that first call and build the bridges with our neighbors that got us this far.

Together, we fought for a city for all of us. Now, weโ€™ll build a City Hall for all of us.

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit.

Letโ€™s take a step back. Never in the history of this country โ€” during a war or an emergency shutdown โ€” has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

Itโ€™s not about who you know, itโ€™s about what you do. City Hall will soon be known as a source of support for New Yorkers โ€” and an example of what our best and brightest can achieve.

I don't know what I might have done to have this rosebush gift me with this lovely rose in the middle of November, but here it is. On the South Shore of Long Island, New York.

What Bongino does here is address this story by going after this Daily Mail headline. But this story was broken by ProPublica, and it said that Bongino was able to skip the polygraph portion of the background check, which was highly unusual. He chooses not to respond to that.

At our volunteer appreciation party, I saw the faces of a movement that changed the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who knocked on a door, called a friend, put up a sign, or convinced their family this election was worth their time.

Acton: Iโ€™m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because theyโ€™re lazy, theyโ€™re mediocre, theyโ€™re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think heโ€™s completely out of touch.

More liberals, people of color and LGBTQ Americans say they're buying guns out of fear The image of gun ownership in America has been white, rural and Republican, but that's been changing as more liberals and minorities have been buying guns, especially after the 2024 election.

California Exceeds Another Clean Energy Milestone: Increasing battery storage capacity by 2,100% since the beginning of the Newsom Administration in 2019.

California Exceeds Another Clean Energy Milestone: Increasing battery storage capacity by 2,100% since the beginning of the Newsom Administration in 2019.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage โ€“ reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal.

We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of Americaโ€™s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.

100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.

Thatโ€™s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.
