This Big Ugly Bill borrows from our children and grandchildren to give today’s billionaires a massive tax cut.

Every American should know that simple fact.

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way.

Bernie Sanders:

“It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.”

BREAKING: Senator Warnock calls Big Beautiful Bill “Socialism for the Rich”.

100% true!

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani, moments ago, talking about how he’s going to fix NYC.

This guy sounds presidential.

I guess panic doesn't stand a chance against that level of comfort

Frontier buyers sign world’s first enhanced weathering offtake agreements with Lithos Carbon Frontier has facilitated the world’s first enhanced weathering (EW) offtake with Lithos Carbon. Frontier buyers will pay $57.1M to permanently remove 154,240 tons of CO₂ by 2028.

I've been working over the past year on a promising new pathway to remove carbon from the atmosphere: Enhanced Rock Weathering.

With today's $57 million offtake agreement with Lithos the approach has gone mainstream: frontierclimate.com/writing/lithos

Huge deal.

US law enforcement has an Indian national in custody indicted of attempting to assassinate a US citizen on the orders of BJP Indian government officials.

There’s trouble below at Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Shelved projects, slow progress, and politics seem to have dulled Elon Musk's tunneling dreams at the Boring Company.

Opinion | Trump Has a Master Plan for Destroying the ‘Deep State’ We should all be paying careful attention to the former president’s plans for a second term.

If you're not frightened by Trump's plan to take the US govt back to the spoils system, replacing merit-based hires and oaths to the Constitution with personal loyalty to Trump, you're not paying attention.
As @donmoyn.bsky.social explains, the plans are detailed, and would weaken and corrupt the US

Humans usually agree on who is and isn’t attractive, regardless of race, ethnicity, and culture. Researchers have noticed that attraction is not merely in the eye of the beholder, but that there are universal standards of attractiveness.
