The image highlights the potential financial impact of the Trump administration's actions in Iran. It lists consequences such as rising gas prices, increasing utility costs, and tumbling stock markets. Images include a person in a USA cap, a military jet, a professional individual, and soldiers handling artillery.
Americans will feel the impact of Trump's reckless, unauthorized war at the pump—and beyond.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
As someone who constantly advocates for my colleagues to learn how to use AI, I found this both funny and useful. When I talk about learning how to use AI, I mean in YOUR life and, more crucially, in YOUR profession. Understanding how, when, and why to leverage AI isn’t always obvious! Still, funny😂
After a long and horrible weekend in the world, I’m finally able to sit down, relax, and try to convince my family that my enjoyment of IT: Welcome to Derry isn't cause for concern for my mental health. 🤡
As so many Americans slip further and further into bitterness, division, and indifference toward one another, I hope the loss of these Soldiers prompts a moment of reflection on what they lived, fought, and died for, and what we as citizens owe them and their loved ones. I will pray for them and us.
When I enlisted in the Army, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to serve as a medic. I wanted to learn how to look death in the eye and deny him, even if only this soul and for this brief window of time. But, as every medic learns, that power only exists in running cadences.
Public lands belong to the American people, not special interests. But the Trump administration is checking off industry’s wish list, pushing through record-breaking rollbacks that target 88 million acres. https://ampr.gs/4pXkFnI

Climate change is fueling extreme weather, cyberattacks are becoming more common, and Trump is cancelling the funds we need to harden our grid against both. What could go wrong? @americanprogress.bsky.social made a list.

Holy. F#%*ing. Airball.
I don’t live in New York, but I still find myself inspired by the energy and passion Zohran Mamdani has for stopping corporate exploitation, lowering the cost of living, and publicly humiliating Andrew Cuomo.
Trading away Americans' health to boost polluters' profits has become a daily thing for the Trump administration. They want to delay or cancel lifesaving limits on toxins dumped by coal-fired power plants into our waterways, silica dust limits that protect coal miners from black lung & more.
I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.
Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.
For me, this is yet another reminder that no one is exempt from harms caused by the spread of political, gun-related violence in the U.S.
Wow. Conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk was just shot during one of his events in Utah.
Unfortunately, I don’t see him surviving that kind of gunshot wound. How absolutely horrible for his family and everyone in attendance who witnessed that.
As I near the 50 movie mark for the year, but here is my way-to-early top three movies of 2025!

🥉— Superman
OBBBA redirects public lands revenue meant to fund vital rural services like schools, road systems, and public safety- all to pay for billionaire tax cuts💰

Will work for buttons.
The Trump administration’s cuts to NOAA and NWS staffing & research capabilities are hindering the nation’s ability to prepare for and respond effectively to extreme weather events—like the recent flooding in Texas. @savestomatopods.bsky.social and @codyhankerson.bsky.social explain:
🚨 ACTION ITEM: The health and well-being of Americans and the programs they rely on are at stake. Now is THE time to speak out and tell your lawmakers to vote against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. www.americanprogress.org/take-action/...
An amazing time for Congress to slash policies that have driven a massive private-sector boom of investing in clean energy and transportation technologies that can help break dependence on foreign oil / global oil prices. No notes.
Just another reason we need to increase clean energy production in the U.S.
Among other damaging proposals, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes a controversial plan to sell off public lands to pay for billionaire tax breaks. CAP's Drew McConville breaks down the 6️⃣ things you should know:
As much as 72 percent of all clean energy capacity that would have been built over the next decade would disappear if clean energy investments are terminated.
That would wipe out more than half of all new electricity capacity additions to the grid. Whoa.
🚨 Billionaire tax breaks at the expense of Americans’ health: The Trump administration’s plan to eviscerate clean air protections could cause 100 million asthma attacks just as House Republicans seek to slash clean energy and health care.
My colleague @savestomatopods.bsky.social is raising awareness about how cuts to the VA will affect veterans & their families.
Vickie is one of those veterans. Her story is sadly but one of many about how the current administration is failing our veterans: www.americanprogress.org/article/cuts...
Yesterday we released a video of veteran & farmer, Vickie Walsh, talking about how cuts to the VA will affect her and her family. Vickie is an amazing person and her story is sadly but one of many about how the current administration is failing our veterans: www.americanprogress.org/article/cuts...
Googles "transgender mice"
More layoffs in Iowa. Instead of talking about that or how they are underfunding public education, the Republicans at the Capitol are focused on taking away civil rights from the LGBTQ community…
