#DOGE says there is fraud everywhere but has zero cases being prosecuted. Meanwhile prosecutors are resigning instead of carrying out legally questionable orders, and #DOGE has many pending cases against them. The legal system is holding up against a criminal executive branch.

Week 4 and #DOGE has not charged anyone with fraud yet. Why? Because there is nothing that will stand up in court. It's like the playbook for the 2020 election "fraud" again. All noise, no substance.

We don't actually need temperature targets with their implied net zero targets. We need RATE targets. It's the rate that does the damage. If we can reduce the rate 90% by 2100, that would be adaptable. An effective rate target would be 25% less emission per decade which is an exponential reduction.

Great analogy.

Holy ****

Federal workers have been instructed to remove their identifying pronouns from their email signatures and other forms, as agency and department leaders work to follow President Trump’s executive order to scrub all references to gender ideology in official government materials by 5 p.m. Friday.

Another part of the craziness here.

Good review.

Much of #DEI is anti-discrimination, which is just law, and does need training to keep the company from getting sued. Why not just refer to it as anti-discrimination? That would be harder to ban.

Another #Project2025 move.

@michaelemann.bsky.social This page used to work. Just saying.

He calls it Gulf of America then it immediately gets a winter storm. Gulf of Mexico just sounds like it would be a warmer place for tourism purposes.

What's it like to have a delusional President? We're about to find out. Complete with his supportive disinformation media.

Unlike Trump 1.0, Biden ended his term with the US in no wars or pandemics, 2.5% inflation, 4% unemployment, 16 million jobs added. I'll take that any time.

And it is the Trumpy ones.
