Agreed, but we still need an opposing, unifying plan to P25. Bipartisan (with Liz, Adam, MIT, etc), measured, stiff, resourced. We need them to align on a strategy more than talk points. Organize. #bringsomethingbetter

@jayapal.house.gov thank you for your talk on Tom Hartman show. Dems should counter Project 2025 and use such to oppose with unified voice / actions everyday. Rather than hoping for “iron clad” commitments, exert “cancel economics”. Be aligned, coherent, firm, resourced. Despair not an option.

Wow. It’s like Colbert REALLY sees me. Always knew MapQuest would end up on late-night TV — just assumed it would be for absolutely ReFuSiNg to remove Toys “R” Us from our maps 🫡

Thanks to BTC for this interview. We do need public voices. AND, DEM leaders need to be less passive -- we need to meet P25 with opposing bipartisan plan. Hence, voices can align & rebut specific actions with counter actions. Make a plan now. #unifiedvoice #makeaplan www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFBP...

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Any POTUS / GOP claims followed by "without evidence", is convincing -- that what they say cannot be trusted. Just saying.

27F this morning. Brrr. Our 2007 Hallowell all-climate heat pump still keeping us warm. No auxillary heating to -25F, 90+ degrees at register, all electric — zero emissions, efficient and inexpensive to run. :) #gotheatpump
