Just to point out that while George Santos was finally expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives after being charged with 23 felony crimes, committing astounding levels of fraud, and fabricating absolutely stupid amounts of his background, it still required the heavy-lifting of Democratic members to close the deal, and a majority of Republicans voted to allow him to remain.

House Speaker Mike Johnson -- who was unanimously elected as the Republican leader of the House by GOP members in October -- continued to demonstrate his moral leadership by voting to let Santos hold on to his seat in Congress.

From the article:

"46% of republican and Republican-leaning independents in this poll agree with the majority of the public at large. They don't think that Republican leaders in Congress are on the right priorities."

I wonder if House Republicans will commemorate the two year anniversary of a failed fascist coup by still failing to get a Speaker elected

"i dont want to vote trump or biden bc they both suck" VOTE THIRD PARTY THEN!! If we don't all do it, it reinforces the idea that our votes don't matter. if you vote for one over the other, they think they can get away w the two party system. if you don't vote at all, they won't even know the difference because they'll still have a winner and no third-party contenders. if you want the electoral college gone, VOTE THIRD PARTY! they won't listen until we make them. this is called political efficacy. stop believing it's hopeless bc that is how they have the power to keep making decisions that the people don't agree with.

I need to vent about humanity.

I feel everything soo deeply. I was reading about the war going on . Big mistake but I started thinking about it and everything else in this world that we have absolutely no power of. Like the cost of living. Idk I'm just really sad cause there's all these problems with what seem like simple solutions but nothing ever changes. It's like nobody cares or wants the world to be a good place. War just makes people money, money gives more power. Power isn't what we need. I just keep thinking of all those babies and kids in Gaza who are scared, injured, just want their mom and for the guns to stop. I'm genuinely so angry that I can't do anything but complain. Everyone in the U.S is eating candy and dressed up as some bs while there's a child with a gash in her head looking for mommy.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

July 26, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

Yesterday a team of international researchers confirmed that human-caused climate change is driving the life-threatening heat waves in the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. has broken more than 2,000 high temperature records in the past month, and it looks like July will be the hottest month on Earth since scientists have kept records.

Another study published yesterday warns that the Atlantic currents that transport warm water from the tropics north are in danger of collapsing as early as 2025 and as late as 2095, with a central estimate of 2050. As Arctic ice melts, the cold water that sinks and pulls the current northward is warming, slowing the mechanism that moves the currents. The collapse of that system would disrupt rain patterns in India, South America, and West Africa, endangering the food supplies for billions of people. It would also raise sea levels on the North American east coast and create storms and colder temperatures in Europe.

On Sunday and Monday, the ocean water off the tip of Florida reached temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius), the same temperature as an average hot tub. According to the Coral Restoration Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Florida’s Key Largo that works to protect coral reefs, the hot water has created “a severe and urgent crisis,” with mortality up to 100%. The Mediterranean Sea also hit a record high this week, reaching 83.1 degrees Fahrenheit (28.4 Celsius).

An op-ed by David Wallace-Wells in the New York Times today noted that more land burned in Quebec in June than in the previous 20 years combined; across Canada, more than 25 million acres burned. And most of Canada’s fire season is still ahead.

Professor Ian Lowe of Australia’s Griffith University told The Guardian that he recalled reading the 1985 report that identified the link between greenhouse gasses and climate change, and worked to draw public attention to it. “Now all the projected changes are happening,” he said. “I reflect on how much needless environmental damage and human suffering will result from the work of those politicians, business leaders and public figures who have prevented concerted action. History will judge them very harshly.”

Former vice president Mike Pence, who is running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, today unveiled his economic proposal. It calls for eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency and the Biden administration’s incentives designed to address climate change.

In that, he is in line with Republican lawmakers. Earlier this month, Mike Magner in Roll Call noted that at least four of the bills released so far by the House Appropriations Committee for 2024 include cutting funding to address climate change that Congress appropriated in the Inflation Reduction Act. Project 2025, which has provided the blueprint for a Trump presidency, says “the Biden Administration’s climate fanaticism will need a whole-of-government unwinding,” and calls for more use of fossil fuels.

A new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Columbia University says that court cases related to climate change have more than doubled in five years. Thirty-four of the 2,180 lawsuits have been brought forward on behalf of children, teens, and young adults.

And therein lies a huge problem for today’s Republican Party. A recent poll of young voters shows they care deeply about gun violence, economic inequality, LGBTQ+ rights, and climate change. All of those issues are only becoming more prominent.

There is absolutely no sane world in which we should have to endure a Biden-Trump rematch 🙄

How did the worst candidates manage to do this well? Other than name recognition????

Seriously how did this happen other than the establishment of both parties trying to throw support to the candidates they thought were “safer” in the most out of touch way possible! Did they not poll people about which candidates they actually wanted? Because literally everyone I have spoken to across the political spectrum is not happy with either candidate? I wrote in a leftist candidate named Cornel West who was running as an independent in the primaries and I guess that’s as productive a vote as any at this point 🤷🏼‍♀️. It kind of feels like for the primaries the vote doesn’t even matter this time because they purposely set it up this way. It doesn’t seem very democratic does it?

I should clarify that voting in the general election is still important to at least hopefully get some progressive candidates in the house of representatives and in the senate. That could be vital to protecting ourselves from another coup.

Let’s also not forget that there were WOMEN candidates running in both major parties (Williamson-D, Haley-R) who were not neck deep in the grave that were passed over for older men.
