How broadcast TV networks covered climate change in 2025 Corporate broadcast networks again reduced climate coverage in 2025, marking the third year coverage has declined since the networks' high-water mark of 23 hours of reporting in 2022. A Media Matters ...

In 2025, broadcast TV climate coverage plummeted for the 3rd year in a row.

2022: 23 hours
2023: 17 hours - πŸ“‰25%
2024: 12 hours, 51 minutes - πŸ“‰25%
2025: 8 hours, 25 minutes - πŸ“‰35%

But hey, it's not like 2023, 2024, & 2025 were the 3 hottest years in recorded history by a lot. Nothing to see here!

Let's just be clear here, Maduro aint that dude but we still have ZERO business stealing leaders from other countries. If that happened in the U.S., plenty of people would be happy but it still wouldn't be the flex.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Republicans have had full control of the House, Senate and White House for 291 days.

Yet, not a single one has been spent lowering costs or protecting health care.

Instead, Republicans created a health care crisis, shut down the government and went on vacation for 7 weeks.

Democrats: Now is Not the Time to Back Down.

Moderate Senate Democrats who are looking for an offramp right now are completely missing the moment if, on the heels of last night’s election landslide, they are entertaining the idea of capitulating to Trump and the Republicans in the fight to protect Americans’ health care. Voters have sent a resounding message: We want leaders who fight for us, and we want solutions that make life more affordable. The onus is on Republicans, who have total control of this shutdown, to bring the government back by restoring health care access, as the American public demands

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Congratulations to Governor-elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and the New Jersey Indivisibles who worked so hard to secure this big win! This is a huge night for Democrats and a humiliation for Trump. The message from voters is clear: There is a political cost to siding with the regime.

Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahu’s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target
