Dr. Abdul El-Sayed was practically engineered to break MAGA brains. American-born (sorry, no “go back” card), ridiculously credentialed (MD + Oxford PhD), explains policy like a normal human, and takes zero crap. Good luck finding a script for that.

Tackling Climate Change is very simple. Stop burning Fossil Fuel. You do that by building Wind and Solar. China builds 5x as much Wind and Solar as all of Europe and North America combined. We aren't even trying.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

UPDATE: today, the governor threatened to do the above. Then a couple hours later we get the photo of Mitch. Interesting. @govandybeshear.bsky.social - that photo doesn’t prove that he’s fit to serve. I’d go ahead and fill that seat. bsky.app/profile/cweb...

People need to learn the difference between complicity and basic ducking decorum. It used to be that, when someone from the opposition party died, everyone said made a statement that was either true, or polite bullshit about how “we disagreed often, but ‘so and-so’ was a great public servant.” 1/2

If you really want to game out the confrontation, taking this last point seriously is how Congress can force a president from office even if supermajorities are unobtainable. The power of the purse is the ultimate power. Not one dime for a tyrant, demand he resign or else *nothing* gets funded.
