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.

Educators keep making 'good trouble' Educators have learned how to exercise what agency they have, where they have it -- and that's a critical lesson for any one who's been feeling a little helpless lately, writes Nancy Rappaport.

Commentary: "Educators, perhaps more than anyone, don’t have the luxury of waiting out the chaos of our national politics," writes Nancy Rappaport.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

Bondi Is Said to Move to Military Housing Because of Threats

They're all living in bunkers now.

This Trump Administration won't leave legally or peacefully because they know they've committed crimes and will be - hopefully - held accountable.

A quiet contradiction is unfolding in Washington. War with Iran… while cutting pieces of the government machinery that supports those efforts.
That tension deserves a closer look.

The more pro Israel warmongers in corporate media attack Mamdani and his wife the more it will increase their popularity, especially as a majority of Americans are now pro-Palestinian, against Israel's genocidal regime, and disgusted by this illegal war in Iran.

Keep it up!

Kenneth Starr, who died in 2022, “appears to have been Epstein’s most substantive evangelical relationship. He represented Epstein in the 2000s, defending him against rape and sex trafficking charges in Florida. He helped Epstein get a plea deal that kept him out of prison.”

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.

The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
