Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden. The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite. The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

GEO Group and CoreCivic are two of the biggest private prison companies in the country. They oversee 95% of immigrant detention, and they're bringing in billions. Now they're trying to cut costs by limiting detainee medical care, and more.

The public has a right to know whether individuals exercising government authority are legitimate officers acting within the law. That's why we're urging the Ninth Circuit to allow enforcement of California’s visible identification requirement. https://t.co/BmZJte8jwz

Millions of Americans live in "hospital towns" where a single dominant hospital controls the market, pricing out the uninsured. See how this crisis is devastating families in Albany, Georgia, in ProPublica's new documentary: https://t.co/UEbtzHErQQ

It’s not just Iran. It’s Lebanon. In less than 2 weeks, Israel has killed 570 people and displaced 750,000 — over 10% of the entire country. Residential buildings are being bombed with no warning. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Netanyahu’s wars.

A whistleblower said that a former DOGE staffer stole entire databases of Social Security data & is using them at a private firm. This is a horrific breach of Americans' most sensitive information. For over a year, we've warned that the Trump admin is making us vulnerable.

Kristi Noem spent $220 MILLION on a 60-second ad. Pete Hegseth spent $93 BILLION in one month. Trump just gave four Big Tech companies a $51 BILLION tax break. And you’re worried about a single mom getting a few bucks from SNAP to feed her kids? Wake up, people.

A new poll shows voters overwhelmingly support California’s proposal to tax billionaire wealth to fund health care — by nearly a 2-to-1 margin. The American people are sick and tired of massive income and wealth inequality. Billionaires need to start paying their fair share.

NYT found that 300 billionaires and their families donated over $3 BILLION in federal elections in 2024. That's 19% of all reported federal campaign contributions that year. Prior to Citizens United, that percentage was almost 0. This has got to change. https://t.co/gHJKH8iN8V

Billionaires made 19 percent of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024, a Times analysis shows, and even more in some local elections. Wealthy donors are reaping the rewards.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

@MorePerfectUS Also worth noting, when you order an item through instacart for delivery they will charge you whatever the price in their app is, regardless of what the shopper pays at checkout, while Instacart pockets the difference. They also forbid shoppers from giving customers the receipt.

@MorePerfectUS Corporations have done everything in their power to cut labor costs and those savings have not been passed to consumers. Where exactly was the secret? People are bagging their own groceries with their own bags and paying more than they ever have. Worst kept secret in history.
