I wrote about China's climate policy. Did you know that China has enacted the most comprehensive climate policy in the world? Well, it has — because it's positioning itself as global hegemon for the climate-changed future. Trump's climate denial is only a stupid, tragic assist to that end. 🧵

russia will never honor any agreement, accept any actual peace proposal or stop their invasive politics. Unless they absolutely have to. russia has to be stopped through decisive action, not common sense implications.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Europeans must accept their efforts to flatter or cajole Trump into doing the right thing on Ukraine have failed. Trump is on Putin's side. Europe (minus Hungary, of course) now needs either to ensure RU is defeated in UA, or prepare for Putin to attack other parts of the former Russian empire.

I agree. The US thinks, rightly or not (not, in my view), that it can benefit more from good relations with Russia than Ukrainian success; Europe knows Ukrainian defeat would be a human & security catastrophe. The problem for Europe is agreeing how to act on that knowledge.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.
