The GOP claims the border is one of the greatest threats yet Trump killed a Republican bill to fix it!
BREAKING: Kamala Harris’ campaign just released this devastating montage of all the times Republicans blamed Donald Trump for preventing the strongest border security legislation in decades from passing. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Go @mcuban
.@mcuban: "I've known Trump for 25 years... He is the most unethical, lacks character, dishonest person I've ever done business with... This is one of the few human beings on the planet that gets dumber in front of our faces every single day."

Love the @harris_wins flags!
BREAKING: In a stunning display of strength, trucks are rolling out their Kamala Harris and USA flags to redefine what it means to be an American patriot. Retweet so all Americans see this. xitter.cf/Canaansdad1987/status/…

Biden must drop out to save the nation from Trump. Very little time left to nominate another candidate but Democrats must try!
First the Schumer leak, now Pelosi.
"Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that polling shows that the president cannot defeat Donald Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November if he continues seeking a second term, according to four sources briefed on the call" cnn.com/2024/07/17/politics/…

Very concerning! Warmest month in history!
March 2024 was the warmest #March in human #civilization. #Greenland on a Supermelt alert. Industrial civilization is rapidly heating the #planet faster than ever before. The days of a stable #climate are long gone. We are moving into the unknown.

#ClimateCrisis builds as Insurance companies pull out of Texas following catastrophic wildfires. Homeowners in Florida, Texas and California are seeing reduced or no coverage availability! #ClimateAction apnews.com/article/homeowner…
Another ominous warning #ActOnClimate
#IPCC’s report on the physical science of #climatechange shows that mountain & polar glaciers are committed to continue melting for decades or centuries.
The freezing level height in mountain areas is projected to rise & will alter snow & ice conditions.

Ominous signs of warming world #ActOnClimate!
This January marked the eighth month in a row that temperatures were the hottest on record, according to @CopernicusECMWF.
The urgency for climate action has never been clearer.
It is time to act – with new national climate plans that are aligned with the 1.5°C limit.

Thank you to a rational Republican! @MittRomney
Republican Senator Mitt Romney rejects the notion that President Biden isn’t fit for office:
“I've worked with the president and I haven't seen anything that's abnormal before. It was like President Trump saying Niki Haley three times instead of Nancy Pelosi; sometimes you say the wrong word... He said Mexico instead of Egypt. Everybody knew what he was saying and that's not an unusual thing.”
Don’t let these frigid temperatures in Iowa confuse you, #climatecrisisisreal! While we freeze the rest of the globe is more than 12 degrees above historical normals. Scientists confirm our isolated (United States record cold) is #climate caused.

Doing nothing has costs as well, sometimes much more.
Remember this the next time someone tries to tell you that addressing #climatechange is “too expensive.” 🙄

Fall 2023 data shows school district staff gave whopping approval ratings for 50 AEA programs and services: 46 soared above 90 percent, meeting or exceeding expectations, and four (4) rocked approval ratings above 80 percent, still shining bright!

“#ClimateChange is the most pressing, genuinely global threat”, stressed #IPCC Chair @JimSkeaIPCC at the today's opening of the 60th Session of IPCC in Istanbul.
“There is not a moment to spare. Options to address climate change available to us today will not be there tomorrow.”
