Freak Storms and Butterfly Die-Offs: This Is Your Climate on Fossil Fuels
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34631-freak-storms-and-massive-animal-die-offs-this-is-your-climate-on-fossil-fuels
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: Animal and tree die-offs are becoming the norm, and the Indian Ocean is en route to becoming an "ecological desert" as rising water temperatures are annihilating phytoplankton, the base of the food chain. This is the state of the climate in 2016.
Contextualizing Hillary Clinton's New Attack Ad Against Bernie Sanders
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34643-contextualizing-hillary-clinton-s-new-attack-ad-against-bernie-sanders
Eliza A. Webb, Truthout: Despite Hillary Clinton's skepticism that Bernie Sanders' social and economic policies could "make it in the real world," US history shows that economic, social and political transformation is possible in the United States when Americans elect leaders who represent their interests.
Amid Fears of Rising Islamophobia, Muslims in Iowa Await Results of Caucus
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34651-amid-fears-of-rising-islamophobia-muslims-in-iowa-await-results-of-caucus
Morgan Gilbard, Truthout: As Americans await the results of the first caucus of the 2016 presidential race, some Muslims in Iowa are fearful of a growing trend of Islamophobia, which has included threats and vandalism against mosques. Republican candidates have fueled anti-Muslim sentiments, say Muslim leaders.
Big Oil and Gas Want Them Out, but One Small Clan Is Standing Up to Pipeline Expansion
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34638-big-oil-and-gas-want-them-out-but-one-small-clan-is-standing-up-to-pipeline-expansion
Tony Manno, YES! Magazine: One clan of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation has occupied its traditional territory in northern British Columbia for more than five years, a response to a proposed network of pipelines full of crude oil and fracked natural gas that would cross the Canadian landscape.
Another Hillary Falsehood: She Didn't Tell Banks to "Cut It Out" Pre-Crisis; She Blamed Homeowners
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34641-another-hillary-falsehood-she-didn-t-tell-banks-to-cut-it-out-pre-crisis-she-blamed-homeowners
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: No one in Congress told banks to "cut out" foreclosures even when the crisis got much worse, and least of all, a Blue Dog Democrat who represented Wall Street. But Hillary Clinton didn't simply pretend to do something she didn't. She abjectly falsified her history.
Elizabeth Warren: It Matters Greatly Who the Democratic President Is
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34642-elizabeth-warren-it-matters-greatly-who-the-democratic-president-is
Robert Naiman, Truthout: It would be an inexcusable, institutional failure of democratic discourse, akin to the failure of government institutions to prevent the Iraq War, if the executive-power-denialist "it doesn't matter" claim is allowed to proceed without being compelled to acknowledge and engage Senator Warren's argument.
The Most Expensive Election Ever Is a Billionaire's Playground: Except for Bernie Sanders
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34645-the-most-expensive-election-ever-is-a-billionaire-s-playground-except-for-bernie-sanders
Nomi Prins, TomDispatch: For your amusement and mine, let's examine the relationships between our 21st century plutocrats and the contenders who have raised $5 million or more in individual contributions or through super PACs and are at 5 percent or more in composite national polls.
What to Watch for Next in the Fight Against the TPP
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34646-what-to-watch-for-next-in-the-fight-against-the-tpp
Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: The Trans-Pacific Partnership will likely be back in the news at least for a brief moment this week, when the treaty comes up for a formal signing ceremony. But the public and much of Congress remain solidly opposed to the agreement - as have presidential candidates.
Iowa Progressives Weigh Clinton vs. Sanders as One of Whitest States Kicks Off Presidential Race
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34647-iowa-progressives-weigh-clinton-vs-sanders-as-one-of-whitest-states-kicks-off-presidential-race
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: The road to the White House begins in Iowa today with the opening contest of the 2016 presidential campaign. Donald Trump holds a small lead over Sen. Ted Cruz. In the Democratic race, Sen. Bernie Sanders has rallied to close the gap behind Hillary Clinton.
Tim DeChristopher: "I Consider Myself to Be a Fossil Fuel Abolitionist"
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34644-i-consider-myself-to-be-a-fossil-fuel-abolitionist
Zoe Loftus-Farren, Earth Island Journal: In 2008, climate activist Tim DeChristopher disrupted a Bureau of Land Management oil and gas lease auction in Utah. He was convicted of two federal felonies. DeChristopher speaks about how his time in prison and his faith have influenced his activism.
If Bill Gates Turned to Philanthropy: Publicly Funded Clinical Drug Trials
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34639-if-bill-gates-turned-to-philanthropy-publicly-funded-clinical-drug-trials
Dean Baker, Truthout: With the current gridlock in Washington, we are not going to see any action on financing research any time soon. However, a wealthy philanthropist certainly could pick up the cost of financing the clinical trials of several promising new drugs.
Slurp, Baby, Slurp: Trump Supports Ethanol Production in Iowa
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34640-slurp-baby-slurp-trump-supports-ethanol-production-in-iowa
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: Iowa, home to the first official contests for the major political parties' nominations, is the United States' top ethanol producer. Saluting its corn-flavored gravy train is a rite of passage for presidential candidates courting Iowa voters. And Donald Trump supports the government-pampered ethanol industry.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34650-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-obama-says-kids-don-t-belong-in-solitary-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Michigan Gov.
