Bill Pulte is completely unqualified to lead our intelligence agencies, yet Trump is backing him anyway. That says everything you need to know about how seriously Trump takes our national security.

As RGGI income grows, returning some of the proceeds to ratepayers is a good move to consolidate support for the make-polluters-pay program to clean up our electric utilities.

Trump still insists that climate change is fake news, and meanwhile it is getting so hot in France that the government there is halting sales of alcohol at public festivals to prevent participants from collapsing in the heat. Who you gonna believe.... JK listen to the science.

The flash flooding happening today in coastal Mississippi and Alabama is driven by the "warmer air holds more water" realities of the climate change process. We pay the "externalized costs" of fossil fuel burning while fossil fuel companies take the profits & pay nothing.

Trump fired the entire National Science Board purely because his industry cronies want to end fact-based science in order to make absurd claims that "nobody knows" that climate change is real, pollution kills, and clean energy is cheaper.

cclvachris.bsky.social @cclvachris.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
In other words, everything that Biden tried to do on clean energy was correct and forward looking and economically wise. And everything that Trump did to destroy it has been backward facing, corrupt, and economically foolish. The castle is made of sand and the tide just came back in.

If Republicans have had a belated realization that gerrymandering is bad, they should work with Dems to ban it entirely. I suspect though that they think it’s just bad when it happens to them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I suspect, however, that Republicans have not had this realization, and that they simply believe that disenfranchising Democrats is good but disenfranchising Republicans is bad. If that’s the case, then this race to the bottom will continue indefinitely. On Monday, Trump called the new maps a “shameful effort” to “silence the voices of Virginia conservatives.” He either didn’t remember or didn’t care that he had set off this whole process by demanding that liberals in Texas and other Republican-controlled states be similarly silenced. In fact, the president complained in a post today that the election had been “rigged” by virtue of the fact that all the votes—including mail-in ballots—had been counted.

For sure. Kudos to the Hungarian electorate for delivering such overwhelming defeat. Also a sign that autocratization wasn’t so complete that denial or repression could have been a feasible strategy. Orban did not have a Lukashenka strategy at his disposal.

There is no way to remove Trump from office, as the GOP Senators are afraid of his core voters. But voting out enough Republicans from the House and Senate in November to take the 2 gavels and put them into the hands of Dems? Very realistic, and essential. Punish the enablers.
