@barney Just one more nail in the GOP coffin. Race is an artificial construct, and to suggest making laws restricting marriage between adult humans is racism at its worse.

Analysis released Monday by the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says tfg could add from $7.5 trillion to $15.2 trillion onto the national debt increasing the debt by 27 to 54%. The debt under Harris would also increase but at a rate of one fifth of the higher estimate of tfg’s increase.

Reminder: If you believe in the elimination of Israel, especially by violent means, you have zero moral high ground. And if you extend that murderous energy to all Israelis, or even all Jewish people, you have no morals at all, and should have no place in discussions of peaceful resolutions.

Two Republican congressmen and one Republican state candidate made antisemitic posts over Rosh Hashanah. Nothing but silence on the @adl twitter feed.

@GottaLaff

Once again, every single case of intentional voting fraud is done by Republicans. 🤔 A large media outlet should release an expose listing them all.

See, this is how capitalism works.

If you're choosing between "investor confidence" and everyone dying in a climate apocalypse, the correct answer is obvious.

BP has abandoned a target to cut oil and gas output by 2030 as CEO Murray Auchincloss scales back the firm's energy transition strategy to regain investor confidence, sources with knowledge of the matter said.

When unveiled in 2020, BP's strategy was the sector's most ambitious with a pledge to cut output by 40% while rapidly growing renewables by 2030. BP scaled back the target in February last year to a 25% reduction, which would leave it producing two million barrels per day at the end of the decade, as investors focused on near-term returns rather than the energy transition.

The company is now targeting several new investments in the Middle East and the Gulf of Mexico to boost its oil and gas output, the sources said.

Refuse to fund FEMA and then somehow blame the minority party for the problem. Republicans are about to turn Florida very Blue.

The media is waking up after all those lies?

“We can't allow a man completely lacking in compassion and decency to be president again."

#Walz to Shannon Bream as she grills him about #abortion laws in MN: "This is a distraction from the real issue here is women being forced into miscarriages, women being forced to go back home, get sepsis, potentially die ... maternal mortality rates in Texas have skyrocketed off the charts because of this. This is bad policy.”

Tim Walz on Fox News Sunday on abortion rights: "Look, they may see this as an election issue. We see it as a right of women to make their own bodily decisions."
