The Senate is about to vote on handing a national forest over to a foreign corporation.
A Chilean mining company wants to develop a copper mine upstream from the Boundary Waters, a pristine wilderness.
The GOP has to choose between a foreign corporation and their constituents.
There are 50 Rice's whales left alive on Earth. They live nowhere else but the Gulf of Mexico. The admin’s own scientists said *last year* oil & gas drilling would drive the species to extinction.
Today, Trump's cabinet removed every protection standing between the oil industry and these animals’ deaths.
I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
The boy who saw seventy bullets pierce through his family in Tammun said: "I asked the soldier, 'Do you love your father and mother?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said to him, 'Then why are you killing my father and mother?' So he slapped me across the face."

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.
@largechune Apparently the state is still working on organizing its discovery. Also, Brian Steel says the prosecution added 49 more witnesses.
Up to 736 people, he says.
YSL case: This potential juror makes ab $300K a year at an insurance company, but he only gets a few days of paid leave.
Judge/Lawyers are giving him every chance to get out of this. But juror No. 326 is answering everything honestly.
@ShaddiAbusaid ANOTHER delay. This is the THIRD. time the judge has given the prosecution more time for something that’s should have been done MONTHS ago.
Seems fair and unbiased to me.
Steel asked the judge to free Young Thug immediately and disqualify the state's last 300+ witnesses.
Glanville giving state 'til Monday to get everything in order. Meanwhile, he's urging both sides to get along.
“There is nothing gained in attacking one another," he says.
Brian Steel is FUMING MAD after the state added even more witnesses. He says the prosecution’s list is now at 687, an additional 308 people in the last two weeks.
“You are not creating a fair trial for anyone here,” he tells the judge. “You are doing the opposite!”
