    Their allegations, which detailed industry pressure that continued under the administration of President Joe Biden and pointed fingers at career officials who still worked for the EPA, were the subject of a 10-part series I published in The Intercept.

    “It’s been four years since we first started raising concerns about what was happening, and we haven’t seen a resolution yet,” Gallagher said. “We haven’t gotten assurance that the concerns we’ve been raising will be fixed.”

    Resistance to the Line 3 pipeline expansion is led by Indigenous women and two-spirit people.[35] Ojibwe-led groups including Giniw Collective, Camp Migizi, Red Lake Treaty Camp, RISE Coalition, and Honor the Earth among others have been at the center of resistance.[36] Demonstrators and protesters organizing in opposition to the pipeline refer to themselves as "water protectors"[37] and follow a campaign of non-violent civil disobedience that includes direct actions.[38] Organizers aim to convince the Biden administration to revoke or suspend the pipeline project's federal clean water permit.[23] Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has not taken a firm stance on the pipeline expansion, which received federal approval under the Trump administration.[18][23]

    Opposition to the pipeline persisted throughout the years-long permit process and continued as legal challenges to the project were mounted.[39][18] Opponents of the pipeline organized protests, at one point making an encampment outside of the offices of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission.[17]

    After the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave final approval for the project, it was granted a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency construction storm water permit on November 30, 2020.[40] Construction of the pipeline immediately commenced.

    On one of the most consequential nights in the 2024 presidential race, the fate of our entire planet received all of 120 seconds. In fact, Harris several times praised the expansion of oil and gas development under President Joe Biden’s administration and doubled down on her promise not to ban fracking. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump were each allotted one minute to discuss their plans for fighting the climate crisis during the September 10 presidential debate.

    Liam Donovan, a Republican strategist, said it was notable that at a debate in energy-rich Pennsylvania, Harris chose to “brag about something that President Biden has barely acknowledged — that domestic fossil fuel production under the Biden administration is at an all-time high.″ Crude production averaged 12.9 million barrels a day last year, eclipsing a previous record set in 2019 under Trump, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

    The statement was “another sign of Harris’ sprint to the middle″ on energy policy and other issues, said Donovan, who works with energy industry clients at the Bracewell law and lobbying firm.

    Harris went one step further, rebranding the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act — the administration’s signature climate law — as a boon to fracking and other drilling, thanks to lease-sale requirements inserted into the bill by independent West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a key swing vote in the Senate and a strong supporter of the fossil fuel industry.

    Harris’s comments disappointed some in the environmental community.

    “Harris missed a critical opportunity to lay out a stark contrast with Trump and show young voters that she will stand up to Big Oil and stop the climate crisis,’' said Stevie O’Hanlon, a spokesperson for the Sunrise Movement, one of the groups behind the Green New Deal.

    “Harris spent more time promoting fracking than laying out a bold vision for a clean energy future,’' O’Hanlon said. “Young voters want more from Harris’’ on climate change, she added. “We want to see a real plan that meets the scale and urgency of this crisis.’'

    Her group is working to turn out young voters, “but we hear people asking every day, ‘What are Democrats going to do for us?’” O’Hanlon said. “To win, Harris needs to show young people she will fight for us.”

    Other environmental groups were less critical, citing the looming threat to climate action posed by Trump, who rolled back more than 100 environmental protections during his term as president.

    “There is only one presidential candidate who is a champion for climate action and that is Kamala Harris,’' said Alex Glass, speaking for Climate Power, a liberal advocacy group. Harris “laid out a clear vision to invest in clean energy jobs and lower costs for working families,’' Glass said.

    By comparison, she said, Trump “will do the bidding of his Big Oil donors.’'

    Vice President Kamala Harris has claimed that the Biden-Harris administration has led to the largest increase in domestic oil production in history due to a recognition that we cannot over rely on foreign oil. This statement, which contradicts the bipartisan claims that they are champions in the fight to slow global warming, surprised supporters and opponents alike. The Biden-Harris administration has set a target to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and accelerate renewable energy projects. Some environmental groups have criticized Harris's comments for missing a critical opportunity to show young voters she will fight for climate action.

    she said nothing in the debates about anything that affects the US citizens on a day-to-day basis and neither did Trump

    As Harris Rejects Fracking Ban, Will Anyone Listen to What Pennsylvanians Want? truthout.org

    The presidential election in Pennsylvania is shaping up to be crucial, with both the Trump and Harris campaigns spending over $130 million on advertising in the swing state. However, the narrative that Pennsylvanians are overwhelmingly in favor of the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," for oil and gas is not entirely accurate. Polls show that a majority of Pennsylvanians actually oppose fracking, with concerns over its harmful impact on human health, the climate, and the environment. The natural gas industry in Pennsylvania has also been declining in recent years, accounting for less than 1% of the state's jobs. Some politicians, like Rep. Summer Lee, have won elections on an anti-fracking platform, demonstrating that it is not the "make-or-break" issue that the media portrays it to be. Despite the growing public awareness and opposition to fracking, the media continues to perpetuate the idea that it is a key issue for Pennsylvania voters. This oversimplification overlooks the grassroots efforts that have been working to educate the public and pass local ordinances to protect communities from the harms of fracking. As the election approaches, it is important to listen to what Pennsylvanians truly want and continue the crucial work of addressing the environmental and health concerns associated with this controversial practice.

    Harris Claims She Worked at McDonald's in College. Here's What We Know www.snopes.com

    U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly claimed that she worked at McDonald's while getting her undergraduate degree in the 1980s. This claim has been reported by multiple reputable news outlets, but aside from Harris' own testimony, there is no independent evidence such as a photo, employment record, or confirmation from a friend or family member to verify the story. Harris has invoked the alleged McDonald's work experience throughout her political career, including in a 2024 presidential campaign ad and during a 2024 appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show." Other prominent Democrats, such as former President Bill Clinton, have also repeated the anecdote. However, some internet users have challenged the claim, with unverified reports that "McDonald's Corporate sources" have no record of Harris working at their locations. Snopes reached out to Harris' campaign and McDonald's headquarters seeking evidence to corroborate the claim, but as of the report's publication, no such proof has been uncovered. Without tangible evidence to independently confirm or debunk the story, Snopes has rated the claim "Research In Progress" as they continue to investigate.

    Democrats Tuned Out Gaza Protests at the DNC. History Won’t Forget. truthout.org

    As Vice President Kamala Harris received the presidential nomination at the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC), thousands of people marched near the convention demanding an end to U.S. arms shipments to Israel and the war on Gaza. The protesters, led by Palestinian and Jewish activists, represented a diverse coalition including anti-war veterans, climate justice activists, and labor organizers. Despite efforts by Democrats to keep the Palestine issue sidelined, the marchers made their voices heard, declaring Harris and President Joe Biden complicit in the genocide in Gaza. The protesters came from communities and movements that are often considered part of the Democratic coalition, warning that their votes could not be taken for granted unless the party takes concrete action to end the occupation and devastation in Palestine. Organizers estimate around 30,000 people demonstrated in Chicago over the course of the week, making Palestine impossible to ignore during the convention. The activists drew connections between the struggle for Palestinian liberation and the fight against racist violence and state repression in the U.S., challenging the Democratic Party's complicity in both. The protests encountered a heavy police presence, with hundreds of riot police surrounding the march at all times. Despite the tension, the demonstration remained largely peaceful as the protesters demanded justice for Palestine. As Kamala Harris prepared to take the stage, the marchers continued their chants and songs, determined to keep the spotlight on the ongoing catastrophe in Gaza and the Democratic Party's failure to address it.

    Universal Health Care Was Big on the 2020 Democratic Platform. Where Is It Now? truthout.org

    The 2024 Democratic Party platform contains little emphasis on healthcare compared to previous years, despite it remaining a top concern for voters. The draft platform obtained by Politico in July does not mention a "public option" or "universal healthcare," reverting from the party's 2020 platform that had outlined reforms like a public insurance option. While the Biden administration has touted record-low uninsured rates and taken some steps to lower healthcare costs, such as capping insulin copays, overall healthcare affordability remains a major challenge. Premiums for employer-provided family plans continue to rise faster than wages and inflation, and over 40% of adults report having medical debt. The 2024 platform's light treatment of healthcare is a disappointing shift from the more ambitious proposals of the past. Progressives who had pushed for policies like Medicare for All will need to mount a renewed effort to keep healthcare as a central priority for the Democratic Party. The party's own rhetoric in 2020 about healthcare being a "right, not a privilege" must be upheld, and voters should demand that candidates put forth concrete plans to achieve truly universal, affordable healthcare coverage.

    Biden Offered No Alternative to Trump’s Pro-Policing Authoritarianism in Debate truthout.org

    Donald Trump's overarching narrative for the debate was that Joe Biden has diminished U.S. power by opening the border and allowing millions of "Illegal immigrants" released "From prisons, jails and mental institutions" to come into the country to "Take our jobs," overwhelm our health care and Social Security systems, and rape and kill us. Rather than pointing out Trump's utter lack of concern for people's well-being, Biden's rebuttal fell into the trap of trying to respond to Trump's tirades, allowing the former president to control the agenda and tone of the debate. Trump used this as an opportunity to point out how little progress has been made under Biden and that Biden helped drive these disparities through his embrace of the "Superpredator" myth in the 1990s. While many in the Biden administration and its key constituencies favor dialing back criminalization, they feel that it is politically impossible to state that clearly and openly, leaving the president to quietly support some good programs, while publicly leaning into a police-centered crime control strategy that will never be able to compete with Trump's undiluted authoritarianism. Biden's weak policies and incoherent responses during the debate may give us another four years of Trump and his drive to turn the U.S. into a despotic kleptocracy.

    Growing opposition to Democrats’ “all-out war” to block third parties from ballot www.wsws.org

    The Democratic Party is launching an "all-out war" to block third parties from appearing on the 2024 US election ballot. This is in response to declining support for President Biden and the Democratic Party. The World Socialist Web Site has published articles exposing these anti-democratic efforts, which have received widespread attention and support on social media. Third party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West have condemned the Democratic Party's actions as an assault on democratic rights and voter choice. The Socialist Equality Party has also voiced support for the right of independent and third party candidates to access the ballot, connecting this to the broader fight against the corporate-controlled two-party system.

    Budget Deal Ensures Bombs Will Keep Dropping While Fewer Human Needs Are Met truthout.org

    The Military Budget Underwrites War — and Genocide The deal includes $886 billion for the military, but that will most likely grow. War funding for the current year wasn’t included in the current deal, but President Joe Biden has requested $106 billion, of which $65 billion is for military purposes . The Losers: All of Us All of that military funding comes at the direct cost of funding social programs and climate programs. Flipping the Script The clear answer to this is a budget that flips the script, providing more for human needs, climate, and diplomacy while providing less for war and militarism. The path to get there is fraught, but there are signs of hope.
