Trump's VP Choice Could Signal Rollback of Climate Protections

Environmental campaigners have slammed Donald Trump’s pick for running mate, Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance, saying that he is a climate change denier and a “Big Oil sell-out” who will strongly support continued fossil fuel production.   Trump announced on Monday that he had picked Vance, 39, once a critic of the former president but now a staunch supporter, to run for vice president on the GOP ballot in the November election.  Climate campaigners are alarmed by Vance’s track record of denying...

Ban the AR-15 Rifle

“It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” Donald Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social, forgetting momentarily that God did not spare Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old volunteer firefighter shot dead while throwing himself over his family to protect them, nor James Copenhaver, 74, nor David Dutch, 57, who were critically wounded in the attack. (Both were listed Sunday in stable condition.) But given what we know about the AR-15, the style of semiautomatic rifle used in the shooting... Читать дальше...

Where Were Calls for De-Escalation When Libraries Were Being Targeted?

A few hours had passed since the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, and cable news desks already seemed to be struggling for fresh insights based on the scant available facts.

The Wayward Conservative Fantasies of Kevin Costner

The contradiction of Kevin Costner is that he’s a congenitally laid-back actor who’s at his most compelling when portraying characters in the throes of some deep, soul-shaking compulsion. Think of JFK’s crusading district attorney, Jim Garrison, who goes so far through the looking glass he can barely recognize himself. Or the cash-poor farmer Ray Kinsella in Field of Dreams, heedlessly risking his own bumper crop—and his family-man status—to construct a baseball diamond at the behest of the voices in his head.

The True Cost of Biden’s Unconditional Support for Israel

When I resigned from the State Department over the Biden administration’s unconditional support for Israel’s slaughter in Gaza, I felt a brief sense of relief. For the nearly six months between October 7 and my resignation, my workday had felt like a deluge of horror, flooded with the specifics of what was happening inside Palestine and U.S. support for it. In the evenings, I would go home and play with my toddler, grateful for the distraction and yet haunted by the children of Gaza. Holding my daughter in my arms... Читать дальше...
