The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

California is debating legislation right now that would ban all ICE employees from ever being hired by a public agency for life. This is good and next year's Democratic House needs to provide a full roster of ICE employees to help facilitate state efforts like this one.

ICE plays no vital role in public safety. DOJ handled INS which oversaw the border patrol. Treasury oversaw Customs. The Coast Guard thrives no matter who oversees them. The consolidation & creation of enforcement agencies have been abused since DHS inception. All cost. No benefit.

A reminder that the MAGA regime ordered the newly destroyed CDC to cut the tracking of the parasite causing explosive diarrhea all around the country not long before the outbreak. These fascists want us all poor, sick and dead.

Celebrated 🎉 and was pleased that I outlived one of my truly awful abusive cheating former “work” colleagues when he drowned. Schiff is such a disappointment. As a CA Senator, he doesn’t have any reason to spout this obvi platitudinous BS. Disrespecting his constituents.

I had the privilege of working with Senator Dracula on my bill offering tax cuts to family-owned mortuaries. While we disagreed on much and his horrible embrace has left me unable to endure sunlight, I'll always remember his amusing little jokes about exsanguinating my staff.

For folks asking why bother commenting because the OMB won't care: comments help build cases for the courts by explicitly laying out harms. That's why it's really important to have your comments be as specific as possible. Also, contact your senators and reps! They actually do care about this.

a different lens is that everyone is labor or capital. doctors, lawyers, tech, these are all labor and have more in common with housekeepers and factory workers than they do with capital. the other distinctions are a distraction. we should all be united against capital.

"Heating is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions in the country, and heat pumps...offer a much cleaner way to keep a space warm. The fact that they also cool homes is a climate benefit in its own right, as extreme heat makes air-conditioning a necessity rather than a luxury."

For years, heat pumps have outsold gas furnaces in the U.S. — and now the superefficient appliances are coming for conventional ACs, too.

Really interesting research, great thread. Consumers don't know how much more dangerous SUVs are to people outside cars; but even when informed, they don't care. It's going to take regulation, not education, to solve this.
