The Biden administration announced a plan plan to get high-speed internet to millions of Americans through subsidies and discounts agreed to by industry–putting work-from-home technology, plus educational and entertainment options into rural and low-income homes. 'High-speed internet service is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity,' the White House said in a fact sheet Monday announcing the program. The funds come from the bipartisan infrastructure law that Biden is championing around the country.(Snip)'That's fast enough for a typical family of four to work from home, do schoolwork, browse the web, and stream high-definition shows and movies,' according to the fact sheet.

The world is creeping closer to the warming threshold international agreements are trying to prevent, with nearly a 50-50 chance that Earth will temporarily hit that temperature mark within the next five years, teams of meteorologists across the globe predicted.With human-made climate change continuing, there’s a 48% chance that the globe will reach a yearly average of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels of the late 1800s at least once between now and 2026, a bright red signal in climate change negotiations and science, a team of 11 different forecast centers predicted for the World Meteorological Organization late Monday.

MSNBC guest Laurie Kilmartin said Sunday that she wants to “make sweet love” to whoever leaked the Supreme Court draft opinion on Roe v. Wade and that she would “joyfully abort the baby.” Kilmartin shared her comments on MSNBC’s “Ayman Mohyeldin Reports” in a clip shared on Twitter. The guest panel was discussing the leaked SCOTUS draft opinion that favored overturning Roe v. Wade, returning the rights on abortion laws to each of the 50 states.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday warned that eliminating abortion rights would damage the U.S. economy and 'set women back decades.' 'I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades,' she said at a Senate Banking Committee hearing. Yellen was asked about the draft Supreme Court opinion that indicated justices support overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion, and the effect such a decision would have on the economy. 'It enabled many women to finish school that increase their earning potential and allowed

Wells Fargo has become the latest major financial institution to set new greenhouse gas standards requiring borrowers in the energy sector to reduce emissions. Oil and natural gas companies must reduce their absolute emissions by 26% by 2030, based on 2019 emission levels, Wells Fargo said last week. Other power sector businesses must see a 60% reduction during the same time period.
The new rules from Wells Fargo are part of a trend from financial institutions around the world to implement such climate regulations for its lending programs, joining the likes of Citigroup Inc. and the United Nations-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance. The alliance is an industry-led coalition

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that President Biden can continue to call out 'ultra MAGA' supporters while maintaining the ability to work with Republicans on his agenda. Biden campaigned on his decades-long relations with lawmakers – even as he tore into Donald Trump.'How does that jibe with his desire to be the bipartisan guy,' Psaki was asked at Monday's press briefing. 'Well, the President's view is you can do both,' she responded. 'He believes that there is work we can continue to do together where we're actively advocating for, he was out traveling in just last Friday on the bipartisan Innovation Act,'

When you think of everything that's gone wrong with the U.S. military -- from its wokester agenda, to its failure to contain Russia, to its breakdown in discipline, to the presence of Gen. Mark Milley on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pretty much all of it has the name of Mark Esper, President Trump's former defense secretary, all over it.
Rather than slink off into obscurity after such a performance, if not back to the big-bucks war-machine defense-contractor lobby whence he sprang, he's out shilling a tell-all book and promoting it on 60 Minutes in a bid to discredit the man he purportedly "served," President Trump.

Lovely people indeed.”Billionaire Elon Musk chimed in and called for the list of Epstein clients to be released. It’s widely speculated that influential people are working to keep Epstein’s client list hidden who allegedly had

Desperate mothers across the US have been forced to buy formula they know will make their babies sick as the country grapples with a shortage that has left shelves bare and has caused prices to skyrocket to $120-a-can. Wynter Balthrop, of Gallatin, Tennessee, says she broke down inside her car after driving to six stores and calling others as far as three hours away only to receive the same answer—the Enfamil's Nutramigen formula, the only her baby tolerates, was out-of-stock.(Snip)Parents across the nation are now relying on strangers across state lines who kindly buy formula when it's available, ship it to where it's intended

Is Kathy Barnette’s momentum in Pennsylvania real? A new poll of the state’s GOP Senate primary suggests it is.
Barnette, who is essentially in a three-person race with Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, gained notoriety recently after she turned in a viral debate performance. Some of her noteworthy moments included calling both Oz and McCormick out for being associated with the World Economic Forum, perhaps the most disturbing globalist organization on the planet. She also hit Oz on his long history of holding pro-abortion views. At the time of the debate, Barnette was within striking distance

The spin off from Star Trek: Discovery, based in cannon from the 1960's original series, showed the crew of the Enterprise discovering a pre-warp society with advanced technology, which warring factions on the planet are about to use against each other.
