5/ Comparing the accountability of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and Trump's anti-constitutional, corrupt "Anti-Weaponization" Fund is really quite shocking.

Just wondering: has anyone checked The Man in the High Castle for tips and tricks?

Matt Walsh wants us to wonder if the Founding Fathers welcomed muslims in America and expected them to share the same civil liberties as Christian Americans. I don't know, man, maybe we can just look at the historical record and their own words?🧵

The funniest part about the Speaker of the House not-so-funnily threatening to eliminate US federal district courts is that the courts he's so twisted up about are applying the laws that Congress itself passed.

The strangest part about this obsession with reduced public spending is that we have an easy basis of comparison with other industrialized countries: US public social spending to GDP ratios aren't particularly high by OECD standards.

It was great fun to discuss the role of the public and private sectors investing in a net-zero and resilient economy, and making sense of it in this particular geopolitical moment, here at the 2025 Berkeley Corporate + Climate Summit.

DOGE's illegal and unauthorized takeover of the US Department of Treasury's payments system is the greatest threat to American security since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Demand that your representatives behave that way. Below is a letter I've sent to my reps and you are welcome to use it.
Dear Senator - 

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency's unauthorized and illegal takeover of the Bureau of Fiscal Service at the US Department of Treasury is the greatest threat to the security of the US since at least the Cuban Missile Crisis. I fear that the full faith and credit of the US government has already been impugned and much other damage has already been done, but it can get so much worse. I therefore implore you to do everything in your power to reign in Musk and his unelected henchmen, but also to communicate to the American public the gravity of the situation through both words and actions. Go to Treasury. Demand answers. Stonewall nominations. The survival of our economy and democracy hangs in the balance. Rise to the moment. We are counting on you.

Sincerely,
Ilmi Granoff

Second, someone on Glassdoor really does not think Tom Krause, the civilian handed immense unauthorized power over the federal government's payment system, is a good manager. I can't speak to the veracity but, yeesh, I hope no one ever writes something like this about me.

My wife and I are coffee nerds, and three of the top four cups of coffee I've ever had were in Tokyo this week. Only Prolog in CPH is in the same league. Tokyo is insanely great for so many reasons, but one of them surely is the next level at which they're sourcing, roasting, and brewing beans.

With a boatload of new followers in the last month (thank you!) I should probably introduce myself. I'm a climate expert (and lapsed corporate lawyer) that advises people on how policy, markets, and technology interact to bring about the fastest possible decarbonization of the global economy.

If I may: the figures aren't contradictory. Logan's data show national % and Donna's show an absolute # in Atlanta, where the highest share of institutional investor-owned SFH are concentrated (25% of rentals), which may affect price, but it's inconclusive, per the GAO. www.gao.gov/products/gao...
