More are realizing the need to dump this dangerous pathological liar. This may be difficult to get through since it has to be introduced again in Congress in both the House and the Senate. Think what last week was like. Interesting read. - The first step in dumping Trump

I'm sure teachers here think of what Ukrainian teachers face attempting to keep their students safe and teach at the same time. - Russia's war in Ukraine threatens students daily and forces teachers to improvise via @ConversationUS

Who will stand in the way of these proposed standards from taking effect? We are talking about the dangers on the health of millions of Americans. - EPA’s proposed air pollution standards for soot could save thousands of lives

I fully expect House MAGAs to fight this because they have no common sense. And they'll try to blame it all on Biden and the Dems, their usual thing of projecting their blame on others. Unless they think it benefits them personally, expect a fight. - How sending climate aid abroad helps the U.S.

OK, now it's time to put Manchin on the hot seat. You should have issues that he is "uncomfortable" holding "a renomination hearing." The GOP & Manchin are really pissing me off, and they should you too. "Republicans and Manchin over policies to tighten environmental oversight on pipelines and new guidelines for natural gas projects." In other words attacking any attempts to address fossil fuels. Remember the IRA? - Now in the spotlight, FERC has an acting leader and a vacancy

Considering what's happening geopolitically, this is an important read addressing climate. Don't miss the video included. Notice the need for education mentioned, something threatened by the MAGAs in the US and more than likely the same in other countries. - 5 levers for decarbonizing the global economy and tackling climate change

Besides what's presented in the intro, this also includes brief sections on the roles of insurance & community. This is meant for those who realize that we do now have a climate emergency.

We have to work past their ignorance. After all, we do want a future for those generations that follow us. - Climate change: How to shift from disaster recovery to prevention, resilience and risk reduction via @europeansting

This is no surprise since Putin is counting on the GOP to stop any support for Ukraine to continue. Russia supports the MAGA GOP. It began with the disgraced, twice impeached con man. - Russia Backs Law Banning Accurate Maps as Extremist Material via @thedailybeast

It seems plausible that the younger progressives who walked out of meetings last month and the new members can prevent de León "from taking center stage." - Some council members caused the rift. Others can fix it

Byline spells it out clearly. Nothing more needs to be said. We're already seeing this has happened just to gain his seat as House Speaker, which basically is now nothing more than in name only. - McCarthy's Mar-a-Lago trip was his tipping point

No link to the movie, but I'll add one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F64dUVAaQV8. It was released in November 2022. Not much was seen in the mainstream news while this was happening. This gives the general public a chance to see the protest against DAPL. It's about time they open their eyes. This affects them and their families as well. It's about time they realized this. - Standing Rock Protests Come to Life in Feature Film 'On Sacred Ground,' Starring David Arquette (Exclusive)

This should be required reading for the House GOP considering their posturing, lies and vote on the rules to be followed. - New variant called 'most transmissible'

Good to see this support for Ukraine including Chechen volunteer battalion and Crimean Tartars mixed in with Ukrainians. - Foreign fighters aiding Ukraine

This is just another example of the Dems wanting to do more for the people unlike those crazies in the House. It may be up to state legislatures to negate the actions of the House owned by the MAGAs. - Some can afford unpaid leave. Some can't. DFL wants to help

Byline makes a heck of a lot of sense, but then this isn't coming from a Republican. Look at what those who outside of MN had to deal with in Texas and Ohio. It's unconscionable!! - Codify abortion rights with 'PRO Act'
