Hey, @SenJkennedy, how does it feel to be made a dumbass by one of your Republican colleagues?
Hey, @nytimes, Google has renamed Lake Ontario to be Lake America. How shameful can they be?
Child care is a huge piece of the affordability crisis. I look at the need for government to provide this necessity in my latest Substack.

If you make residents pay for the additional power data centers need and use up their water, people get mad.
Before we fill the landscape with data centers, maybe we should hit pause and see how the AI bubble plays out. More in my latest Substack.

The recent decision by the Supreme Court to further gut the Voting Rights Act was the last straw for me. I make the case for expanding the court in my latest Substack.

Holy shit! "Credit where credit is due"? Like credit for starting an unnecessary war that is tanking the global economy? Like credit for looting the U.S. Treasury? Credit for deporting the workers who harvest our food and build our homes? You gotta be shittin' me.
With all the noise in the news lately, folks may have missed this encouraging development.

.@LFFriedman, excellent piece on the endangerment finding being gutted today. Glad you mentioned that Zeldin was a member of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus.

In a world filled with cruel and malevolent people of power, it's important to hold up the heroes who spent their lives making the world a better place. Bill Foege was one of them.

Overlooked in the current chaos is the destruction of our #climate by the Trump administration. Kudos to the @nytimes for this front-page story about the wrecking ball being taken to efforts to preserve a livable world.

As a retired journalist, I was horrified when the #WashingtonPost praised Trump for his illegal action in #Venezuela. Media capitulators are not worthy of the Fourth Estate.

One big problem in solving #ClimateChange has been that people who identify as environmentalists are, by and large, not showing up at the polls. The Environmental Voter Project is fixing that.

Want to see your city become more bike friendly? I look at the infrastructure improvements needed and how these can get done in my latest "Problem Solved" Substack post.

#COP30 was a disappointment again. To get serious about lowering heat-trapping emissions, we need an effective price on carbon to phase out fossil fuels. There's a group doing great work on that front.

My piece on getting big money out of politics was published in The Fulcrum. Check it out. Unless we pass a constitutional amendment to undo the harm of Citizens United, we will be living in an oligarchy, ruled by billionaire overlords.
