Three US presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump (who was impeached twice). No president has ever been convicted by the Senate or removed from office through the impeachment process.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

I could get mad about Trump lifting sanctions on Russian oil, but I'm old enough to remember when US intelligence said a Russian GRU unit was paying bounties to kill American and coalition forces in Afghanistan. But Trump "didn't know anything about that".

When I was 8 or 9 I bought a cooler full of sodas and upsold them to people in line to buy gas. I should look into that again, more dignified than lawyering.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Kids grow fast, and so do we.

This fall, we're adding more than 1,000 seats for universal 3-K in 56 zip codes. Childcare will be more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs.

The Iran war puts Asia in an energy panic Stranded Gulf supplies are choking off the region’s economies

β€œIt is up by 42% since hostilities began. American motorists are already paying over $3.40 for a gallon of petrol on average, around 50 cents more than on February 27th. In Europe prices of natural gas, of which the Gulf normally ships lots in liquefied form, are 92% higher than before the war.”

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
