Spineless Mike Johnson Grovels to Trump and Shutters the House Early - Lemmings.world

> The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson—probably the worst speaker in American history—shut down the House early this week before its five-week vacation. He wants to avoid holding votes on releasing the Epstein files that reportedly include, among other notables, President Donald J. Trump. >This is the latest valet service provided by a spineless Johnson, a Trump toady, whose groveling has no known boundaries. Imagine Johnson, a lawyer, took an oath to uphold the Constitution yet has no interest in safeguarding the independence of the congressional branch of our government.

At Eleventh Hour, Enablers of Israel's Mass Starvation of Gaza Do 'Reputational Damage Control' - Lemmings.world

> As Common Dreams reported this week, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has said that 85% of people in Gaza are now in Phase 5 of famine, defined at “an extreme deprivation of food.” > Organizer and attorney Aaron Regunberg said that instead of simply doing “reputational damage control by speaking up in these very last moments,” powerful political leaders must “shut shit down.” >”You want history books to not record you as an evil genocide supporter?" said Regunberg. “One speech now—after countless speeches condemning those who have been speaking out—ain’t gonna cut it… You need to go to Gaza. You need to actually make an impact, NOW.”

Gaza running out of specialised food to save malnourished children - Lemmings.world

>Gaza is on the brink of running out of the specialised therapeutic food needed to save the lives of severely malnourished children, United Nations and humanitarian agencies say. >”We are now facing a dire situation, that we are running out of therapeutic supplies,” Salim Oweis, a spokesperson for Unicef in Amman, Jordan, told Reuters on Thursday, saying supplies of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), a crucial treatment, would be depleted by mid-August if nothing changed. >”That’s really dangerous for children as they face hunger and malnutrition at the moment,” he added. >Oweis said Unicef had only enough RUTF left to treat 3,000 children. In the first two weeks of July alone, Unicef treated 5,000 children facing acute malnutrition in Gaza. >Nutrient-dense, high-calorie RUTF supplies, such as high-energy biscuits and peanut paste enriched with milk powder, are critical for treating severe malnutrition. >”Most malnutrition treatment supplies have been consumed and what is left at facilities will run out very soon if not replenished,” a World Health Organization spokesperson said on Thursday.

Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global

Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global - Lemmings.world

> Trump’s bitter dislike of renewable energy first erupted publicly 14 years ago in a seemingly trivial spat over wind turbines visible from his Scottish golf course. As Trump returns to Scotland this week, though, he is using the US presidency to squash clean power, with major ramifications for the climate crisis and America’s place in the world. > Although Trump failed in his legal attempt to halt the Scottish wind farm, an enduring scorn towards renewables appears to have been seeded that now has global consequences. >As president, Trump has declared wind and solar projects unwelcome in the US, barring them from federal lands and signing a vast spending bill that demolishes support for a nascent industry that held the promise of revamping the American economy while cutting dangerous planet-heating pollution.
