The only way to prevent Trump nominees from being confirmed by the Senate is to force them to withdraw their nominations before any committee votes. No Republican Senator will publicly, formally vote against any of them. 1/

NEW on #RFKJr.: In audio we uncovered from his radio show he read and praised a description of Trump and his supporters as "belligerent idiots," "outright Nazis," and "cowards" and "bootlickers."

He also compared Trump to Adolf Hitler.

Feds established a trail of payments from #MattGaetz, #Trump’s choice to be AG, to women including some who testified that #Gaetz hired them for sex, acc/to a doc obtained by NYT & a lawyer representing some of the women.

The doc, assembled by investigators during a 3-yr #SexTrafficking investigation into Gaetz, is a chart that shows a web of thousands of dollars in Venmo payments between Gaetz…, associates & women who had drug-fueled sex parties 2017–2020….

@wdlindsy
I don't think that we're giving the Kremlin as much credit as they are due for creating so much division in our society personally.

We need to keep the pressure up. The House Ethics Committee must release its bipartisan report on Matt Gaetz. Trump’s pick for attorney general was investigated over accusations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and improper interactions with lobbyists. Email your representative and demand the immediate release of the Gaetz report: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/ethics-committee-report-gaetz?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

s/ :...and now the #USA has a new #ChiefDrillOfficer who say, #DrillBabyDrill.

The best thing is, @andrewdessler made his forecast in 2023, before knowing that Trump would be re-elected.

What could possibly go wrong?/s

@SnowshadowII

I see.
Thought so.

So many, more frequent #ExtremeWeatherEvents every (still other?) globaly seem to be pointing in the same direction: #ClimateChange is, indeed,, still accelerating.

@SnowshadowII

Yes, thank you. So not the 1st one, butxa rare ocurrence.

@SnowshadowII

How is a #BombCyclone different from a "standard" one.

Has this happened before in #Canada?

@SnowshadowII

Oh, my, I thought that.

@SnowshadowII

Oh, my, I thought that. 🫂

@SnowshadowII

OMG, how awful!

Are you and yours safe, my friend?

Ironischerweise könnte eventuell gerade die Führungsschwäche der #SPD auch eine Chance dafür sein, einen #BlackRockKanzler, der nicht ein #BGE einführt, sondern auch noch das #Bürgergeld abschaffen will, zu verhindern.--Ein Kommentar:

@HistoPol Ich behaupte mal, dass der Anteil der Wahlberechtigten, die bei Merz an BlackRock und Kapitalismus denken, unter 10 Prozent liegt. Auf Mastodon sind es eher 90 Prozent.

"Will man eine Partei komplett orientierungslos und verunsichert in einen viel zu kurzen Bundestagswahlkampf schicken, den man überdies selbst verschuldet hat, dann muss man genauso vorgehen wie die SPD-Führung in diesen Tagen", kommentiert FR-Politikchefin Christine Dankbar. "Interessanterweise trifft Olaf Scholz daran die geringste Schuld." Der Leitartikel:

#SevenYearsAgoToday #AreYouBetterOff

In 2011, the Obama administration deemed the situation in Haiti precarious enough to grant Temporary Protected Status to Haitians staying in the U.S., allowing these Haitian citizens to live in the U.S. while conditions remained dangerous in their homeland. Obama renewed their TPS status multiple times during his time in office, through his final year when Hurricane Matthew decimated the island again.

#SevenYearsAgoToday #AreYouBetterOff

November 20, 2017 – The Trump administration chose to end the Temporary Protected Status program for 59,000 Haitians, forcing them to leave the United States by July 2019 or face deportation. After the Haitian earthquake in 2010, millions of Haitians lost their homes. A massive outbreak of Cholera endangered hundreds of thousands more during recovery from the hurricane.

"Opinion: Europe’s 2% defense benchmark is an illusion, not a solution"--#TheKiewIndependent

True, however in #democracies, in contrast to tyrannies, a #Zeitenwende must me "sold" to the sovereign, the People.

#Poland has done a good job at that. With currently 5.7% of GDP being spent on #defense, it is way beyond #NATO's present 2% target.
