Have you heard of NYPIRG? It's the New York Public Interest Research Group. It's a non-partisan, nonprofit, research and public education organization. They have two initiatives that are important for us.

Climate Change
The planet is heating up, and that temperature rise is accelerating. Climate change is the most pressing environmental, public health, economic, and social justice issue facing our planet. Join NYPIRG’s Community Action Network to help New York move toward a clean, renewable energy future — supporting efforts that shift New York away from fossil fuel use, nuclear facilities and infrastructure and to wind and other renewables.
Solid Waste & Recycling
New York is facing a solid waste crisis: It has been reported that most, if not all, of the state’s landfills are nearing capacity and could close in the coming years. Dutchess County’s waste incinerator burns waste so inefficiently, it actually pollutes more than it burns. Orange County fixed this issue, we need it fixed in Dutchess County. The state needs to develop a “circular economy” that reduces the amount of wastes, recycles as much as possible, and reuses products — particularly packaging — well before anything is discarded. NYPIRG is working to ensure that New York moves forward with policies that prevent the production of waste and improve successful recycling initiatives.

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney blindsides Trump by forming a super alliance of 40 powerful countries to defeat his disastrous MAGA agenda.

Carney has become one of Trump's most brilliant adversaries...

According to Politico, the European Union, composed of 27 nations, as well as a geopolitical bloc of 12 Indo-Pacific countries, have begun negotiations to form one of the largest economic alliances in the entire world. This historic pivot comes as Trump continues to wage erratic tariff wars on close allies, turning the once-stable United States into a deeply unreliable partner.

The talks are being led by Canada and will be the fruit of Carney's vision of a world in which the so-called "middle powers" unite to undermine Trump's tariffs and make themselves immune to his bullying coercion.

If successful — and it certainly appears to be heading in that direction — the supply chains of countries as far off as Canada, Malaysia, and Germany could be intwined into one super supply chain.

“The work is definitely coming along,” a Canadian government official said to POLITICO. “We’ve had very fruitful discussions on it with other partners around the world.”

“We see a lot of value in increasing trade among the EU and [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] parties, which would also contribute to enhancing supply chain resilience,” stated a Japanese trade official.

Last month, Carney gave an astonishing speech at the Davos World Economic Forum during which he announced the end of American dominance, stating that the "bargain no longer" works for the rest of the world. American hegemony once offered benefits, now it offers only chaos.

"Let me be direct, we are in the midst of a rupture not a transition," Carney said during that speech. "Over the past two decades a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid the bare risks of extreme global integration."

"But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons," he said, referring to Trump. "Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructures as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

He predicted that allied nations would "diversify to hedge against uncertainty" and "rebuild sovereignty" and that's exactly what's happening with this nascent trade alliance. Carney said that the deal will "create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people."

Left out in the cold would be the American people, who will be forced to stand by as the citizens of other nations enjoy easier, cheaper access to reliable goods. Trump has made us a world pariah, and the price will be shouldered by your wallet.

“We hope that if that’s a success, if you can see tangible benefits in different areas, that could also entice other countries to join in and team up in a positive sense,” said Klemens Kober, the Director of Trade Policy, EU Customs, Transatlantic Relations at the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce.

“So the more the merrier," Kober added.

This is what happens when you elect an ignorant conman and give him unilateral power over foreign policy. Trump and his MAGA sycophants thought that the rest of the world would simply roll over as America proceeded to pillage and ransack their coffers. Instead, they'e banding together to completely shatter the balance of power forever.

BREAKING: Trump SNAPS at reporters after they dare to ask him about Hillary Clinton’s Epstein-cover-up accusations against him!

Last night, on Air Force One, the president was once again asked about his ties to Epstein, and he didn’t bother hiding his frustration.

“Hillary Clinton said that she and her husband are getting pulled into the Epstein matter to divert attention from you and that your administration has something to hide…how do you respond?” asked a reporter.

“I've been exonerated! I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. They went in hoping that they'd find it and found just the opposite. I've been totally exonerated. In fact, Jeffrey Epstein was fighting that I don't get elected with some author, the sleazebag, by the way. And I've been totally exonerated. No, they're getting pulled in.”

“That's their problem. I don't know. They're going have to see what happens. But I watched her in Munich, and she seriously has Trump derangement syndrome.”

“You think that she should publicly testify?” follows up the reporter.

“You know, I've been totally exonerated on Epstein. And it's really interesting because they've been pulled in. Think of it. They've been pulled in. Clinton and many other Democrats have been pulled in,” says Trump.

Nothing says “totally exonerated” like being mentioned in the Epstein files over a million times, having your Attorney General engage in a blatant cover-up to protect yourself and your alleged pe*****le co-conspirator, or having your obediant weenies in Congress start a witch-hunt campaign against the Clintons to distract from Trump’s massive presence in the Epstein files…oh, and no less than SIX prominent members of the Trump administration!

Release the files. Unredact the names. Prosecute the predators.

NOW!
