Trump-proofing NATO? The U.S. Congress is on it. American lawmakers have passed legislation aimed at protecting the alliance from Donald Trump. With Trump ahead in the polls, their bill could prevent him from leaving NATO if he's re-elected.

Uh… well, we’ll see. If he manages to get elected, this is just one of the catastrophic things he’ll definitely try. Not to mention, he tends to just ignore laws, so I’m not sure why people would assume this new law is unbreakable.

The big one is that he'll immediately gut and maybe even try to repeal the IRA.

Passing that law has put us on track to possibly survive the current climate catastrophe. It's at the least the biggest step any of us have ever seen. A Trump reelection might be not-figurative armageddon for our planet.
