Pure spite. Musk, Rubio, and Trump have the blood of the world’s neediest on their hands. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

This is exactly what Trump plans to do to our national parks, forests, wilderness area. www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

If Congress had to work one day out in this heat, or without the morgue-like A/C in their office buildings, we’d have climate legislation in a flash. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/w...

At the same time that Congress, laboring under a slow-moving dumb dome, is considering repealing clean energy incentives. Dangerous Heat Wave Expands Over Central and Eastern United States www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/w...

Perfect time to repeal clean energy grants and tax incentives, no? www.cnn.com/2025/06/21/w...

I don’t think it’s gonna work to call former presidents dumb in comparison to Trump.

Talk about penny-wise pound-foolish. GOP’s plan to trash electric mail trucks, out of climate spite, would only *increase* government waste. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Let's check in and see how summer temperatures have changed during the last 50 years. 🔥🔥🔥

Trump's oil and gas-friendly climate deniers hoping to stop public demand for climate action by access to climate data. It will hurt, but it won't work. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

For decades, Congressional GOP have demanded “dynamic” scoring, claiming it’s more accurate than “static” scoring. Whoops. Dynamic scoring shows *even bigger* deficits. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

Most in Congress shirking and hiding as Trump threatens to take us into another Middle East war. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/w...

The Montreal Protocol WORKS! It has saved the ozone layer and slowed climate change. Atmospheric monitoring shows how well it works, but can be improved when countries hold their summer meeting in Bangkok next month. www.nrdc.org/bio/david-do...

More evidence Trump doesn’t run his administration. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

No Kings on Connecticut Ave. in Chevy Chase, MD. Even the dogs know what’s what.

I am not a king. I am a god. Trump, Who Has Likened Himself to a King, Bristles at ‘No Kings’ Protests www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...

Trump, Miller, and Noem are pretending all of LA is in turmoil, even though the mostly-peaceful protests are taking place in only a very small area. What will they say tomorrow about their 8-block military parade in DC?

All this expense for an *8-block parade* past the birthday boy’s reviewing stand. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/int...

Put this on a billboard.

Said the Rolex-Watch-Outside-Salvadoran-Gulag political actress.

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

Might even be “significant”! (See my posts on Trump EPA’s nutty proposal to deem US power plant emissions “insignificant.)

Trump administration continues to gouge our eyes out. Turning the entire government into Fox News. They don’t want a free people to have access to information that a free people needs. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So, now we know the EPA chief thinks America’s power plants emitting *1.5 billion tons* of CO2 each year is not “significant” and doesn’t trigger that pesky Clean Air Act. www.nrdc.org/press-releas...

“Art Laffer” greeted by laughter. Priceless.

Wow. White House has proposed a two-thirds cut to global health and humanitarian funding. "The cuts could lead to 675,000 additional deaths from HIV, and a combined 285,000 deaths from malaria and tuberculosis. The total estimate is just short of one million deaths." www.cgdev.org/blog/million...

A Chinese postdoc told me that on a recent visit to a Chinese university, they said they were adopting a policy of automatically admitting anyone who was accepted for admission to Harvard. HARVARD DOES THE VETTING. CHINA DOES THE GETTING. Making America Ignorant Again !!!
