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.

I think the Governor of Kentucky has every right and responsibility to either see Mitch or declare the seat vacant.

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.

That’s what Democratic leaders are doing now in regards to Lindsay Graham: they’re praising him for the times he was bipartisan, and glossing over the last several years when he was a total fuckwit. It’s a mixture of decorum, congeniality, and bullshit. And it’s just “How it’s done.” 2/2

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

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

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.
