Can someone point me to any analysis by @audubon.org on the Fix Our Forests Act? The only thing I found is this presser www.audubon.org/press-room/f..., which says "Further Improvements Needed," but lacks details. @brookebateman.bsky.social @nicolemichel.bsky.social #FOFA #FixOurForestsAct #Audubon

the opportunity costs of car ownership are massive if you invested the ~$1k/mo average cost of car ownership - over 20 years, you'll have $460k at 6% interest, v. wasting $240k on car ownership. that's a swing of $700k folks. e-bikes are an incredible investment.

Exactly two people are celebrating the United States’ great abdication: Trump and Putin. The world weeps. Europe acts. And decades of U.S. leadership have been lost.

Cutting Medicaid will jeopardize health coverage for millions of Americans. I joined Rep. Morrison at Martin Luther Senior Living Center in Bloomington to highlight the need to push back against these proposed cuts and fight for the care Minnesotans deserve.

This is a great and unfortunate reminder that there are some incredible Democrats elected throughout the country that many of us have never heard of. Another reason why we need to make sure we lift those voices up now.

Jeffries: "Republicans are not the party of fiscal responsibility. Stop trying to convince the American people otherwise. In fact, during Trump's first 4 years, the debt exploded to such a degree that 25% of our nation's debt came from just the first term of President Donald Trump."

Minnesota's domestic violence shelters are a safe haven and lifeline for victims. The administration’s action to halt federal funds for shelters and victim services is endangering lives. Survivors can’t wait — these funds must be restored now. www.startribune.com/five-alarm-f...

My friend Rachel has been a park ranger for the twenty years I've known her. Worked at a lot of them, including Yosemite. Ray shattered her leg rescuing a hiker who'd fallen onto a ledge during a hike gone wrong. The recovery was long and painful. The hiker lived. These people deserve protecting.

3 lessons here: 1/ fossil asset owners will keep these assets as long as gov'ts will let them. 2/ oil and gas net zero pledges are an elaborate distraction -- both for ESG optimists and consumers 3/ liberals take note: the market won't supply decarbonization. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A friend who works for the US Department of the Interior (DOI) says that their government credit cards (PCards) have their purchasing limits set to $1, so they essentially can’t buy anything. Also, the DOI doubled down on the 5 bullets email and wants to make it a weekly occurrence. 🤬

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

This deranged post must be read in concert with new Daily Beast and Yahoo News reports that Trump is a Kremlin agent ("Krasnov") and Hegseth speeding up a political purge of the military. What you are seeing here is fear from Trump and Musk; they need to get to martial law fast.
