Canceling the measurement of economic impacts from climate change doesn’t make those costs — approx. $2 trillion for the U.S. economy this decade — go away. Instead, it will likely push them onto citizens. New, from @abrahm.bsky.social @propublica.org

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Countries that support the international order that the U.S. helped cultivate since World War II, that are committed to democracy and the rule of law, that seek peace, stability and prosperity in the world must at this moment view this US admin not as a faltering ally but as an active opponent.

It’s not just about the economy. It’s also about the data, especially the personal data. Dr. @hcrichardson.bsky.social does a great job explaining the troubling access DOGE has to all kinds of personal data as they rampage through the government. People need to be arrested!

Trump’s false depiction of Ukraine today not only violates 80 years of American diplomacy, not only boosts Russia, it helps autocrats everywhere, especially Xi Jinping who is a far greater threat to American power than Putin.

Trump blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelenskyy a “dictator” isn’t a serious take—it’s just his usual projection. Russia invaded Ukraine. • If Russia stopped fighting, the war would end. • If Ukraine stopped fighting back, Ukraine would end.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Today we had an (excellent) newsletter arranged, with me taking a day off. But I was so angered by Trump's shameful betrayal of Ukraine that I wrote a short plea that we all do what we can to oppose and reverse it. It will be difficult. But I think we need to try. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cruelt...
