Climate change denialism is spreading.

It's time to STOP SUPPORTING FAILURES & create a healthy sustainable future 

MASS GOP rushed to endorse the abysmal failures of FLORIDA GOP & DESANTIS...

Let's learn from their failures and work to protect ourselves & our communities 

RENEWABLE ENERGY will save money & protect clean air - it just makes sense 

 


Democratic Values is dedicated to supporting candidates who stand strong on their Democratic principles and stand up to the MAGA far-right extremists tearing apart our country. 

Democratic Values

In recent years, you may have noticed that corporations and right-wing politicians have teamed up to ignore, dismiss, and erase the impacts of climate change.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed a bill to eliminate a state requirement for climate change to be considered in the creation of energy policy. He also plans to remove nearly all references to climate change in state law.

DeSantis’ action is clearly a move to appease his extremist base and please his high-dollar corporate donors, but it will also cause major damage to Florida’s ability to respond to the environmental impacts of climate change, which it’s already struggling to deal with.

This action from DeSantis is just one example of the way in which Republican members of Congress continue to stall and block any efforts to pass effective climate change legislation. They’re dedicated to delaying and shutting down bills that could be instrumental in slowing down the progression of climate change, and this WILL have disastrous effects in the future.

We have to step up, NOW. We’re demanding that our politicians WAKE UP and STOP DENYING climate change. Join us and sign the petition today.

SIGN THE PETITION »

The fossil fuel lobby is hard at work to install climate denier politicians at every level of government this November. Donald Trump has already pledged to push through dozens anti-climate bills if elected, in exchange for $1 billion in donations from oil industry big-wigs.

This corruption and blatant disregard of the scientific community’s warnings will have devastating impacts on our economy, ability to respond to natural disasters, preservation of human health, and the agriculture industry. There are too many potential consequences to name. Now more than ever, we must center climate change in the creation of all policies, particularly those surrounding racial justice, health, energy, and the economy. As Americans, we cannot and will now allow climate change to be ignored by money-hungry politicians.

Please sign the petition now: We will not allow lawmakers to dismiss climate change.

SIGN THE PETITION »

Thank you. It’s up to us to fight for our planet.

REMINDER: DeSantis Declares Emergency Over Floods After Cutting Stormwater Funds

DESANTIS CUT FUNDING....NOW WAIT FOR HIS DEMAND THAT FEMA SHOULD 

AGAIN BAIL OUT FLORIDA'S REPUBLICAN INCOMPETENCE! 


Republicans state Rep. Peter Durant, state Sen. Ryan Fattman and state Rep. Kelly Pease rushed to endorse DESANTIS! "R" VOTERS are conspicuously uninformed and refuse to research issues....the same may be said of the MASS GOP for supporting these extremists! Conveniently ignored are questions raised about DeSantis participation of TORTURE at Guantanamo that got whitewashed - let's pretend it didn't happen!


DeSantis Declares Emergency Over Floods After Cutting Stormwater Funds

"As I'm sitting here stuck on a Brightline train because of flooding in my district, all those stormwater projects he cut look pretty stupid right now," a Florida lawmaker said.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency on Wednesday for five counties due to heavy flooding in southern Florida just the day after he cut $205 million in stormwater, wastewater, and sewer projects from the state's budget.

Heavy rains caused by a disorganized tropical system have inundated southern and western Florida since Tuesday, bringing more than a foot of rain in places and disrupting road and air travel throughout the area. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC), part of the National Weather Service, put southern Florida under a rare 4 out of 4 high risk of flooding on Thursday as rains were expected to continue there, and warned that it could be "locally catastrophic."

The rains "transformed roads into canals and caused water to seep into homes," CNNreported, while a tow truck driver in Fort Lauderdale told The Associated Press that abandoned cars everywhere reminded him of "zombie movie."

The extreme weather prompted state Sen. Jason Pizzo (D-37) to criticize DeSantis' budget cut.

"As I’m sitting here stuck on a Brightline train because of flooding in my district, all those stormwater projects he cut look pretty stupid right now,” Pizzo told the AP.

DeSantis cut the $205 million from the budget amid other cuts that he made Tuesday in finalizing the state budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year that begins on July 1, Tampa Bay Timesreported.

In May, DeSantis signed a bill that removes most references to climate change from state law and streamlines fossil fuel development projects—"Don't Say Climate Change," the bill's critics have called it, including a meteorologist who spoke up against it on air. On the day he signed the legislation, Key West was a record-setting 115°F.

Florida is particularly vulnerable to rising seas and to extreme weather, including hurricanes and tropical storms, made more likely and more intense by climate change.

DeSantis on Wednesday declared emergencies in the counties of Broward, Collier, Lee, Miami-Dade, and Sarasota. Two people died and three were injured in a weather-related car accident in Collier County, The New York Timesreported. The flooding closed part of Interstate 95 and limited flight schedules at two major airports, Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted that the 2024 hurricane season, which began June 1 and ends on November 30, will be worse than normal.

FROM FEBRUARY 2024: "R" voters are consistently uninformed and fail to do their research before supporting an "R" candidate. PROVE ME WRONG!

MASSACHUSETTS: STOP ELECTING STUPID PEOPLE! 

IT'S TIME TO THINK!

IT'S FAR WORSE THAN IT APPEARS! 

DESANTIS APPOINTED THIS FRAUD (LADAPO) IN CHARGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH? DEMON SPERM DOCTOR? 

It is known that ARMADILLOS transmit LEPROSY....except people who have never been exposed to ARMADILLOS are contracting LEPROSY 

When you have a CLOWN in charge of PUBLIC HEALTH, how do you know the source? 

Has it jumped SPECIES? NO ONE IS ASKING. 

FLORIDA IS FLOODING BECAUSE DESANTIS CUT FUNDING.... 

THIS IS WHAT MASSACHUSETTS DIM WITS ENDORSED?  

FROM:

"R" voters are consistently uninformed and fail to do their research before supporting an "R" candidate. PROVE ME WRONG!


MASS GOP SUPPORTED DESANTIS - NEVER SCRUTINIZED HIS RECORD, NEVER SCRUTINIZED LADAPO!

MASSACHUSETTS VOTERS ARE WELL EDUCATED & WELL INFORMED. 
DON'T THINK THIS DEBACLE HAS GONE UNNOTICED!


"R" voters are consistently uninformed and fail to do their research before supporting an "R" candidate. PROVE ME WRONG!

 
FLORIDA SCHOOLS CAN'T SHOW A DISNEY MOVIE & MASS GOP DIM WITS supported the FASCIST DESANTIS?

MASSACHUSETTS: Is this what you support?

"R" voters are consistently uninformed and fail to do their research before supporting an "R" candidate. PROVE ME WRONG!


MASS GOP EXTREMISTS are pounding their chests & endorsing DeSantis?

DeSantis failed to regulate the environment, killing MANATEES and destroyed the EVERGLADES with agricultural runoff from SUGAR!

PETER DURANT ENDORSED DESANTIS!

MASS GOP statement:
And the Mass GOP’s ability to help Durant may be limited by its still-dire financial straits — even though a win in this race is exactly what the party needs to start turning its fortunes around.

“If we didn’t have the debt, certainly we would be able to do more in this race,” Carnevale said. “But we certainly are confident in our chances.”

PETER DURANT IS A CLOWN FOR ENDORSING DESANTIS, THE BOOK BANNER, RE-WRITES HISTORY, DON'T SAY GAY DIM WIT!

That's before defining the ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION in FLORIDA or the numerous other issues...homeowners insurance? radioactive roads? DEAD MANATEES?

Ron DeSantis' New Surgeon General Appeared in 'Demon Sperm' Doctor's COVID Conspiracy Video

excerpt:
One of the video's main speakers, Dr. Stella Immanuel, is a physician who operates a medical clinic in a Texas strip mall next to her church, Firepower Ministries. In the video, she called hydroxychloroquine a "cure" and said, "You don't need a mask" to prevent the virus' spread.

Immanuel has claimed that ovarian cysts and endometriosis are caused by "demonic seed." Demons insert sperm into sleeping individuals when they have sex in their dreams, Immanuel claimed in articles on her church's website.

Ladapo has also promoted the anti-parasite medication ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19 symptoms. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has advised against using ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment.

In October 2020, Ladapo signed the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement that called for developing societal herd immunity to COVID-19 through natural infection.

The next presidential election could be at stake

Wisconsin Democrats: With the balance of the state's Supreme Court on the line, progressive champion Judge Janet Protasiewicz and radical MAGA extremist Dan Kelly have emerged as the nominees for the vacated all-important swing seat. This April 4th election is an absolute MUST-WIN for everything we hold dear — abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, the right to vote, and potentially even a free and fair election for the next President of the United States. Can you chip in to make sure Janet has the resources she needs to win and flip the Supreme Court of the most important swing state to a progressive majority?


Internal text reveals Tucker Carlson reads the work of infamous Holocaust denier writing for vile, white nationalist outlet
The embarrassment of riches from the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News continues to flow. Following Trump's loss in 2020, Fascism Tonight! host Tucker Carlson shared the work of David Cole, a Holocaust denier who writes for a vile, white nationalist outlet that carries headlines like “The Trouble with Blacks” and “Our De Facto Antiwhite Apartheid,” with an unnamed contact. But don't you dare call Tuck Tuck a racist!

Take Action: Tell Congress: Pass the DREAM Act of 2023!


Ex-GOP Ohio speaker, lobbyist guilty in $60 million bribery scheme
The moment one Republican corruption scandal starts to fade from public consciousness a new one seems to burst onto the scene. The cycle makes sense when you consider today's GOP is essentially a legal crime syndicate, albeit a woefully inept one. Case in point — former GOP Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and former state Republican Party Chair Matt Borges have been convicted in a $60 million bribery scheme that federal prosecutors have called the largest corruption case in state history. Oops.

Former roommate says George Santos led ATM fraud scheme

A Brazilian man who pleaded guilty to fraud in a 2017 ATM skimming scheme has alleged that the head honcho of the Seattle-based operation was world thumb-wrestling champion and 7-Michelin-star chef George Santos. At this point it would be quicker to list the crimes Santos hasn't committed than to reel off the ever-growing litany of ones he has.

Take Action: Demand the Senate Judiciary Committee hold hearings on the unaccountable Supreme Court!


Republicans kill child marriage ban bill in West Virginia
Family values Republicans defeated a bill that would have banned child marriage in West Virginia, because, well, you just cannot make this stuff up. The vote came shortly after the bill's main sponsor, Democratic Del. Kayla Young, testified that there have been MORE THAN 3,600 MARRIAGES in the state involving one or more CHILDREN since 2000. Opponents of the bill argued out loud in public with actual words coming out of their face holes that teenage marriages are simply a part of life in West Virginia. State Republican Sen. and professional mouth breather Mike Stuart said his vote to kill the bill “wasn’t a vote against women” and went on to explain that his mother was married when she was 16 and pregnant with him, making him "the luckiest guy in the world.” Well, then. Case closed!

Mexico cartel turns in own men over US kidnappings
A splinter group of the Gulf Cartel, called the Scorpions Group, issued an apology for kidnapping four US citizens — and killing two of them — last week, and has turned over five men it alleges are responsible. The news comes as a deranged, increasingly vocal faction of the GOP is calling for a literal invasion of Mexico to attack the cartels — a truly bonkers idea that would cause mass suffering and civilian bloodshed while failing to solve the fundamental underlying cartel problem: the empowerment of brutal criminal organizations due to the perpetuation of the inarguably failed and supremely wasteful "War on Drugs."


Proud Boys deployed foot soldiers in sedition plot
While Republicans and Fox News are working hard to rewrite history to whitewash Donald Trump's failed insurrection, federal prosecutors are keeping their eyes on the prize. As they wrap up their seditious conspiracy case, they're arguing that Proud Boys chief Enrique Tarrio and other leaders of the group handpicked and mobilized a loyal group of foot soldiers — or “tools” — to supply the force necessary to carry out their plot to stop the transfer of power from Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 election.


Pentagon accused of blocking effort to hand Russia war crimes evidence to ICC
Despite all the righteous condemnation of Vladimir Putin for the heinous war crimes committed in Ukraine by his Russian army, the US military is being accused of withholding information about those war crimes from the International Criminal Court just in case it sets a precedent where *our* soldiers might be held responsible for war crimes that they commit. It's disappointing and hypocritical and an affront to the justice this nation is supposed to stand for, but hey, that's the Pentagon for ya — whose official policy is to LITERALLY INVADE THE HAGUE if the ICC ever detains and charges an American troop. Seriously. Look it up.


Shell CEO pay up 50% as soaring energy prices boosted profit

Today’s Action: Celebrate Abortion Provider Appreciation Day!

Since SCOTUS’ devastating overturning of Roe v. Wade last summer, abortion has been center stage in America. There are only 20 states where abortion is completely accessible, while 12 states have banned it entirely. Access in the remaining 18 states is dwindling quickly, with abortion providers and progressives fighting tooth and nail to protect the fundamental right to reproductive healthcare. Abortion providers are on the frontline, sometimes risking their lives to deliver critical care, often to our most vulnerable communities.

America’s abortion care providers are indispensable and save countless lives only to be met with Republican vitriol. Without them, post-Roe America would look a lot different. Today is Abortion Provider Appreciation Day, and we hope you’ll join us in saying THANK YOU for the work they’ve done and continue to do to protect our reproductive rights.

Some of the ways you can give back this weekend include (but are certainly not limited to) donating to independent abortion clinics, hosting a fundraiser, recording a video explaining why you celebrate care providers, sending crucial wish list items collected by Abortion Access Front, or using their social media toolkit to post your support. There are so many ways to help — Planned Parenthood has three whole pages of actions to choose from! No matter how you choose to acknowledge and celebrate our care providers, please take a moment today to do so!

A massive THANK YOU to abortion providers across the country who continue to fight for what’s right no matter the risk. You are the best of us!

PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition kicking Marjorie Taylor Greene off the Homeland Security Committee, and be sure to follow us on TwitterFacebook, and Instagram.
