Trump's tariffs drive economy off a cliff. Thanks, Republicans. You wanted this. | Opinion As Trump's ludicrous tariffs tank the economy, I hope Republicans are happy. This is what they voted for.

I just questioned our nation’s top national security officials in the House Intelligence Committee hearing. They could not admit that the messages in their signal chat were classified. This is ridiculous, they know better, and they are lying to the American people. Pete Hegseth must resign.

What Now for Climate Under Trump? Act Locally Trump is working to sabotage climate solutions β€” but there’s a lot regular people can do to push cities and states to fill the growing federal void.

What a horrifying doozy these first two weeks of the Trump administration have been. YOWZA. I’ve been pacing myself by focusing on climate policy, since it’s nearly impossible to keep up with everything. Here, in @rollingstone.com, is what I’m thinking so far:

Opinion | Don’t Believe Him Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

β€œThe first two weeks of Trump’s presidency have not shown his strength. He is trying to overwhelm you. He is trying to keep you off-balance. He is trying to persuade you of something that isn’t true. Don’t believe him.”

Bluesky has a growing problem: fake accounts Is that really Ben Stiller? Or Mark Hamill? Bluesky has over 21 million members nowβ€”but it lacks a robust verification system.

Am still fairly new to Bluesky. Thought this Fast Company article was helpful.
