War is not some game. Our troops are not toy soldiers. Civilian casualties are not nothing.

NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

NO WAR WITH IRAN.

A graph displaying poll results revealing that a majority of Democrats, Independents, Republicans, Non-MAGA Republicans and non-conservative Independents/Republicans link climate change with rising home insurance costs.

Why are Democrats afraid to talk about climate, when so many people already connect the dots between fossil fuel polluting emissions and their family’s financial costs?

Home insurance is a HUGE cost for so many families, and getting worse fast!!

Scientists issue warning as global crisis approaches 'point of no return': 'Unprecedented' A new study revealed that the Earth is warming faster than previously believed, underscoring the need for immediate climate action. What's happening? Researchers at Oregon State University found that the planet's regulatory systems may become unstable if temperatures continue to rise. Their findings, published in One Earth, examined 16 environmental tipping elements, including those in the Antarctic and in the Amazon. As the planet overheats, extreme weather events become more common, and climate feedback loops can further exacerbate warming. For example, melting Antarctic ice sheets or forest dieback from high temperatures can then amplify warming. These changes also reduce the Earth's natural cooling abilities, stripping the environment of its typical defenses. The study estimated that global temperature increases passed 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), the warming threshold set by the Paris Agreement, for 12 consecutive months. It also stated that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are 50% higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution. These factors reveal the extent of our overheating problem. "After a million years of oscillating between ice ages separated by warmer periods, Earth's climate stabilized more than 11,000 years ago, enabling agriculture and complex societies," said William Ripple, distinguished professor of ecology at Oregon State...

Chart: The energy transition attracted record investment in 2025 Investors around the world spent $2.3 trillion on renewables, batteries, power grids, EVs, and more. Meanwhile, investment in fossil fuel supply dropped.

Trump’s corrupt efforts to prop up his polluting fossil fuel donors can’t change the direction of our clean energy future.

Trump's Climate Supercomputer Plans Threaten US Insurance Market: Actuaries A new letter from the American Academy of Actuaries draws a direct line between the planned dismantling of NCAR and higher homeowners insurance costs for US consumers.

The American Academy of Actuaries warns that dismantling NCAR would degrade the catastrophe models insurers depend on to price climate riskβ€”driving up premiums and threatening coverage availability nationwide.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Β 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
Β 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
