No end in sight for heat dome effect that has already kept most of So US & Mexico in triple-dig F temps for 3+ wks. How long must this persist b4 polit leaders in hardest-hit states stop blocking #ClimateCrisis adaptation & mitig efforts?

This feature is intended to offset the surge of more trivial content that often trends on social media and is automatically picked up.

Despite everything I have tried it still favors a lot of garbage stories.

Sure would be nice if there were actual consequences for the mind-bendingly corrupt conservatives on the Supreme Court.

I’m not holding my breath.

The Republican Party is going broke in Arizona?

The AZ GOP HAD $770K 4 years ago but now only holds $50K after buying rounds of “election fraud” challenges and shady cyber ninjas

Hm.

So Trump is going to Make America Great Again by bankrupting the GOP

I remember when people tried to blame herbicide for this. And if they banned it, NOTHING would have been done to help these workers.

Chasing the wrong claim because of your ideology helps nobody. See also mercury in vaccines and other RFKJr top hits.

Since non-existence is the norm, we should make the most of our few decades of existence. Because that's all we have.
