Trump's sentencing has been set for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention.

Don't tell me we “can’t afford” to fight the climate crisis.

A new study found the economic costs of the crisis are 6x larger than previously thought. It's estimated we'll lose 12% of world GDP per degree of warming.

Saving the climate is both morally & financially right.

By refusing to recuse himself from Jan 6 cases, Alito is violating the court's code of ethics, which call for recusal when “the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned…”

If flying 2 pro-insurrection flags doesn't call his impartiality into question, what does?

A recent report found that Americans have become less likely to go out for a workday lunch, and more likely to eat a brought-from-home lunch at their desks.

Do you go out for a lunch break? And if not, why not?

The info about Trump's alleged affairs that he's accused of conspiring to withhold from voters easily could've swayed the 2016 election.

Remember, the race came down to fewer than 80,000 votes across several swing states, with "family values" voters being key to his victory.

There are so many bad parts of Trump's economic agenda, I can't decide what's worst?

Which of these do you think is the worst?

Trump insists on calling Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg "Soros backed" (posting the phrase at least 3x in the last 24 hours).

George Soros did not endorse or contribute to Bragg. By falsely connecting them, Trump is playing into a range of baseless antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Trump called fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" — according to his chief of staff — he publicly accused soldiers with PTSD of not being "strong," demeaned POWs, and insulted Gold Star parents & a widow. When he pretends to honor service members today, don't believe it.

Target's profit increased 49% to $4.1B last year, even with slower sales.

Its CEO received $18M in compensation on the year while the company paid $508M in dividends in Q4.

Makes you wonder if Target could have lowered its prices a lot sooner but just chose not to.

Hello?

Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes.

Alito not being forced to recuse from Trump's immunity case and upcoming Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the SCOTUS code of "ethics" established last year.

Hint: It's a sham.
