In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill, leading to a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.

In the United States, emissions that cause global warming dropped by over 10% compared to 2019 levels. However, the situation changed in 2021, with emissions increasing once again.

According to recent data, greenhouse gas emissions in the US rose to 5007.34 gigatons in 2021, up from 4715.69 gigatons in 2020. This increase can be attributed to the return of economic activity, which has led to higher levels of transportation and industrial production.

While the Biden administration cannot be held entirely responsible for the rebound in emissions, some experts argue that they have not done enough to tackle the climate crisis. Lisa McCormick, a climate activist who has suggested that the federal government nationalize the oil companies, prosecute their executives for filicide and use their assets to transition to clean energy, stated that the administration must accept some of the blame for failing to bring the crisis under control.

Political activist Lisa McCormick is calling for a ban on drug company advertising in the United States, the only nation except New Zealand where the pharmaceutical industry is allowed to market prescription medication directly to consumers.

McCormick's campaign is part of a broader plan to make healthcare universal and improve patient outcomes, but the New Jersey political activist says her big pharma advertising ban is important, citing the excessive costs and other bad behavior among drug companies, as exemplified by the opioid crisis.

McCormick argues that excessive drug company advertising costs, combined with other irresponsible greedy behavior, have contributed to the opioid crisis and rising healthcare costs. The United States is the only developed country without universal healthcare, and McCormick believes that drug company profiteering is a major obstacle to achieving this goal.

Many medical advocacy groups agree with McCormick, arguing that drug companies employ direct-to-consumer advertising in a way that puts consumers at a disadvantage. Companies are not required to disclose the cost of drugs, the presence of generic alternatives, or the risks associated with their products. This lack of transparency can lead to overprescription, increasing healthcare costs and worsening patient outcomes.

New Jersey political activist and former US Senate candidate, Lisa McCormick, has criticized President Joe Biden's proposed budget request for fiscal year 2023, which allocates significantly more funds for the military than for climate programs.

"The Biden administration's budget proposal outlines a spending plan of $1.6 trillion, with military spending making up more than half of the total," said McCormick. "In contrast, climate programs are allotted less than three percent, which is tantamount to climate change denialism. President Biden is proposing to spend 18 times more on the Pentagon than on climate programs that are vital to human survival."

McCormick argues that an underfunded climate response is problematic regardless of an overfunded military budget.

New Jersey progressive activist Lisa McCormick has expressed her outrage over the increasing rate of sexual assaults in the US military, according to the latest annual report released by the Department of Defense on April 27, 2023.

The Pentagon report reveals that the military experienced a 1% increase in sexual assaults last year.

"The Biden administration's failure to protect our military servicemen and women from sexual assault is shameful," said McCormick, a 2018 Democratic senatorial candidate. "It's unacceptable that we are seeing an increase in these heinous crimes despite the efforts made to curb this issue."

Humanity has the incredible capacity to create positive change in our world. With visionary leaders like Lisa McCormick, we can harness our collective ability to imagine and create a future that is bright and prosperous for everyone. Unlike callous, greedy, and fearfully hawkish leaders such as Senator Bob Menendez, McCormick sees the potential for technology to change our world in ways that are currently unimaginable.

Innovation has always been a driving force in human progress. From the invention of the printing press to the creation of the Internet, each new advancement has expanded our capabilities and transformed our societies. And as McCormick reminds us, the potential for further transformation is limitless.

By investing in new technologies and encouraging innovation, we can create a future that is sustainable, equitable, and prosperous for all. We can reimagine our energy systems to be powered by clean and renewable sources, and we can use technology to revolutionize healthcare and education. We can connect people and communities around the world, and we can break down barriers of inequality and injustice.

But in order to achieve this future, we must first correct the mistakes of the past. The failed experiment with Reaganomics has left deep scars on our society, exacerbating inequality and leaving millions without access to basic necessities like healthcare and education. It is time to prioritize the needs of the people over the interests of the wealthy few, and work towards a future that benefits all members of our society.

With visionary leaders like Lisa McCormick, we can create a better world for ourselves and future generations. Let us embrace the power of technology, and harness our collective potential to create a future that is bright, sustainable, and just.

Lisa McCormick, a leading advocate for clean politics and consumer protection, has called for an end to the vaccine liability protection afforded to drug manufacturers.

McCormick, who earned 159,998 votes in the 2018 Democratic primary for US Senate, has been raising concerns about the corrupt relationships spurred by money in politics and the negative impact it has on public health.

McCormick believes that the current liability protection, which shields drug manufacturers from legal liability for harm caused by their vaccines, is unacceptable.

"Congress should end the vaccine liability protection afforded to drug manufacturers," said McCormick. "There should be no argument about whether corporations deserve an unfair advantage over people who they hurt. After the intentional behavior of greedy corporate criminals who profited off the opioid epidemic, which killed more than 775,000 Americans since 1999, the pharmaceutical industry must earn our trust before cashing in on it."

"Drug companies must be held accountable for the safety of their products, and if they fail to do so, they should be held liable," said McCormick. "We cannot continue to shield them from responsibility while innocent people suffer."

Democrats for Change leader Lisa McCormick is calling for a comprehensive approach to address systemic racism as a public health issue. McCormick believes that racial inequality is a major factor in health disparities and overall wellbeing in America, and that it must be actively dismantled for the betterment of all communities.

McCormick highlights that systemic racism affects every aspect of society, from police shootings to poverty, and from educational achievement to incarceration rates. 

"The situation is evident in New Jersey, where statistics paint a stark picture of racial disparities in the state," said McCormick. "For instance, African Americans in New Jersey are more than three times more likely to live in poverty than white residents, and they are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system."

McCormick is also bringing attention to school segregation in the state.

Today, decades after it was ruled unconstitutional in the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision, racial segregation is a persistent problem in New Jersey schools," said McCormick. "According to a report by the UCLA Civil Rights Project, New Jersey has one of the most segregated school systems in the country. The report found that more than half of Black and Latino students in the state attend schools where less than 10% of the student body is white."

"We must recognize that systemic racism impacts all people and their overall health and prosperity, and this includes our children," said McCormick. "The school segregation in New Jersey is unacceptable, and it is a direct result of systemic racism. It is imperative that we address this issue and work towards creating more diverse and inclusive schools for all students."

McCormick faulted Governor Phil Murphy and other Democrats who serve the corporate establishment instead of putting people first.

"We must recognize that systemic racism impacts all people and their overall health and prosperity, and this includes our children as well as future generations that will suffer harm from this injustice if we do not correct the problem," said McCormick. "Those who do not recognize that systemic racism is a problem are usually those who are keeping it alive, because the manifestations are simply undeniable."

McCormick is urging all Americans to work collectively to dismantle racism and its effects, by rising up to the responsibility of citizenship.

She is advocating for a comprehensive approach to address systemic racism, which involves dismantling the barriers, systems, and actions inside and outside our walls to provide excellent medical care and equity for all.

"We must make it our mission to dismantle the barriers that are preventing progress, and to actively promote equity and inclusion in all aspects of our lives," said McCormick. "Only then can we create a just and equitable society where everyone can thrive."

"We must ," said McCormick. "Only then can we create a just and equitable society where everyone can thrive."

The collapse of American influence across the globe is not just a cautionary tale for future leaders—it’s a damning testament to the dangers of neoconservative arrogance. After decades of failed strategies and disastrous wars, the once-undisputed superpower has lost its foothold. From the Middle East to Eastern Europe, the recklessness of these policies has become a burden for the people they claimed to “liberate” and a stain on the United States’ credibility on the world stage.

For decades, neoconservative politics promised a new, unyielding America—a “world police” to spread democracy and uphold the so-called "American values" of freedom and prosperity. But in practice, these ideals were sacrificed in favor of military interventions, economic manipulation, and diplomatic hegemony.

The result? Countless failed interventions, a crumbling reputation, and the empowerment of emerging powers that have exposed the limits of American reach.

Lisa McCormick, a progressive leader and former Democratic candidate for US Senate, is speaking out against President Biden's proposed military budget, which includes increased funding for modernizing the nuclear arsenal, a dangerous and unnecessary investment in the ability to destroy the world.

As a candidate who ran against a hawkish Foreign Relations Committee chairman in 2018, McCormick has been a vocal advocate for peace and diplomacy. She supports Marianne Williamson's initiative to create a Department of Peace, which would prioritize non-military solutions to conflicts and promote global harmony.

"The proposed military budget is a step in the wrong direction," McCormick stated. "Instead of investing in weapons of mass destruction, we should be investing in education, healthcare, and infrastructure to improve the lives of all Americans."

McCormick also calls for fiscal accountability at the Pentagon, which has failed five audits and has only been able to account for 39 percent of its $3.5 trillion in assets. She believes that taxpayer dollars should be used responsibly and transparently, and that the Pentagon should be held to the same standards of financial management as other government agencies.

"As taxpayers, we have the right to know how our money is being spent," McCormick said. "The Pentagon must be held accountable for its financial practices, and we must prioritize the needs of our communities over excessive military spending. If the generals and admirals cannot keep track of trillions of dollars, how can we be certain that they are capable of keeping anyone safe?"

"The average American taxpayer paid $929 just for Pentagon contractors in 2021," McCormick said.

As President Biden's budget proposal makes its way through Congress, McCormick urges lawmakers to consider the long-term consequences of investing in nuclear weapons and to prioritize the well-being of American citizens.

The activist calls on fellow progressives and concerned citizens to join her in advocating for a more peaceful and fiscally responsible approach to our nation's budget priorities.

McCormick is a progressive leader who earned nearly four in ten votes cast as a Democratic candidate for US Senate in 2018 against Senator Bob Menendez. She is known for advocating for policies that prioritize the well-being of American citizens and promote social and economic justice.

McCormick firmly believes that simply suppressing the scourge of violence in the United States and across the planet is not enough, and that lasting peace requires active and systematized cultivation at every level of government and society.

McCormick is a strong proponent of utilizing proven powers of peace-building, including dialogue, mediation, conflict resolution, economic and social development, restorative justice, public health approaches to violence prevention, trauma-informed systems of care, social and emotional learning in schools, and many others.

Such approaches can have a transformative impact both domestically and internationally in building sustainable peace.

She stands firm in her belief that to create a better, more peaceful world for generations to come, we must adapt to a new way of thinking about human survival instead of living in fear and reacting to any perception of danger with a 'shoot first ask questions later' approach, of the kind that has never been successful. 

"Twenty years ago, the U.S. government took a sharp turn toward surveillance, racial profiling, and an immigration policy based on fear," McCormick said. "Since 2003, the Department of Homeland Security has taken control over everything from immigration enforcement and counterterrorism to airport security and disaster response under one gargantuan bureaucracy, but we are no safer now than we were on September 10, 2001, they day before the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon."

"Keeping Americans safe is more about being smart than strong," McCormick said. "It is about preserving peace and prosperity, not maintaining the capacity to destroy all the things we care about and need."

McCormick is committed to advocating for policies that prioritize peace-building efforts, foster dialogue and understanding, and promote social and emotional well-being as key components of a safer and more harmonious society. She believes that investing in these strategies is essential for creating a more peaceful and prosperous future for all.

Tornadoes are evidence that the world has failed to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, and while it is now probably too late to stop global temperatures from exceeding the 1.5°C increase once viewed as a danger humanity should make a last-ditch effort to mitigate disaster.

This announcement was made by Lisa McCormick, an environmentalist and 2018 Democratic US Senate candidate, who has been advocating for climate action over the past two decades.

McCormick emphasized that worsening weather conditions are causing non-stop damage, and the recent tornado outbreaks in several states are the latest example of the devastating effects of climate change.

"There have been more than 80 reported tornadoes since March 31st, and states including Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama, and Mississippi have all had fatalities," McCormick stated. "It's time for our leaders to acknowledge the Climate Disaster and take action before it's too late."

"Despite the overwhelming evidence of climate change and its consequences, Republicans still refuse to acknowledge the urgency of the situation," McCormick said. "Even many Democrats refuse to display the courage that the urgent situation merits." 

Among those Democrats, according to McCormick, is President Joe Biden.
