The planet is overheating, yet humanity remains inextricably reliant on coal, oil and natural gas ...

Climate summit makes ‘historic progress’ but the world still can’t quit oil.

He's Out!!!!!!!!!!

Rep. George Santos expelled from Congress on bipartisan vote

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/01/george-santos-expulsion-house-vote

The resolution passed with a tally of 311-114, with 105 Republicans voting in favor. All four top House GOP leaders voted to keep Santos in Congress.

The vote followed the release two weeks ago of a scathing 56-page Ethics Committee report. The freshman lawmaker has resisted calls to resign.

House Republicans nix votes on two funding bills as shutdown deadline nears

"I don't think the Lord Jesus himself could manage this group," said Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas.

"We’re still dealing with the same divisions we always have had," said another House Republican. "We’re ungovernable."

Deja vu Trump move. Republican representative Ryan Zinke introduced a bill Thursday that would ban Palestinians from entering the U.S. and possibly expel those who are already here. Republican xenophobia coming in loud and clear.

Israel is a country. Israelis living in Israel is simply a fact that any peace agreement is going to have to acknowledge. However, this isn’t how we go about peace.

Georgia’s congressional map violates Voting Rights Act, court finds

A federal court on Thursday found that Georgia's congressional map violates the Voting Rights Act, the latest Southern state to have its map struck down for discriminating against Black voters.

A judge ordered the state legislature to redraw the lines by early December.

Mike Johnson having "the least enemies within the conference" is not exactly a vote of confidence. What's the over-under on this guy lasting as long as McCarthy?

Considering that McCarthy got ousted for daring to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government, don't hold your breath for getting anything accomplished between now and January 2025.

Vote for Democrats in November 2024 and every election.

I just watched whining Kevin McCarthy try and blame Joe Biden for the looming government shutdown all because McCarthy cannot control his own majority to vote for a bipartisan bill that will pass the Senate and go to the President for signature.

What McCarthy “forgot” to mention is that Biden met him July and reached an agreement that would have, I believe, kept the government open until the end of the year. It’s not Biden's fault that McCarthy can't do his own job.

It’s not normal for a person to constantly issue threats of violence against people who don’t share his views.

Disagreements are fine. But threatening to execute people you don’t like with no care for the consequences is a little bit more worrisome than just being 80 years old, in my opinion.
