Trump is demonstrating once again the depth of his own corruption. It is long overdue for honorable Republicans to stand up for integrity against this felon. Former President of Honduras Is Freed From Prison After Trump Pardon nytimes.com/2025/12/02/us/…

Nothing reveals so clearly Trump's mocking of the poor who voted for him than his "Great Gatsby" themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Logo. Shameful. abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump…

If Donald Trump follows through on his threat to resume nuclear testing, it will be his ultimate crime against humanity and should be treated accordingly by Congress, the courts, and the American people.

I have been avoiding Tweet since Elon took it over, turned it into X, and made it a propaganda machine for his personal interests. But I miss all my followers. So have decided to try to revive that connection. Hope to hear from you. David Korten

If the goal is to reduce government spending, I suggest we start by terminating govt contracts with Musk companies. That will save many billions for mostly useless projects.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

@KamalaHarris 😀Go Pamala!

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

@kenklippenstein The arrogance of Tim Burner's comments is breathtaking & aligned with current business thinking. The resulting outrage is appropriate and encouraging. It is also encouraging that Tim has apologized and acknowledged his error. May other execs do the same.

Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."

@KateRaworth @BBCRadio4 @bethsawin Donella was one of the great breakthrough thinkers of her time. This is a beautiful and timely remembrance. It was my privilege to have been a close friend and colleague. Her real passion was her farm. Her computer modeling was a sideline.

The brilliant Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - is a hero to me, so it was an unmissable opportunity to talk about her life and work on @BBCRadio4 Great Lives. You can catch it here. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… #ecologicaleconomics #systemsthinking @bethsawin
