BLM is proposing to weaken bonding requirements for oil & gas wells on federal lands. Daniel Raimi @danielraimi.bsky.social of @rff.org and I argue: This means BLM can't do its job as required by the Mineral Leasing Act, exposing taxpayers to remediation costs. 1/2 www.rff.org/publications...

The SAVE Act “fight seems to be shaping up as between Repubs eager to pass a voter suppression bill to support Trump, & those willing to protect voters as well as their own voices in the Senate. Tonight the Senate voted to take up the measure” Its about politicians controlling if you can vote or not

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It’s only Sept and the US has already experienced more billion dollar weather and climate disasters than any other year. This is part of an escalating trend. On average, there was a disaster every 4 months in the 1980s. By the 2010s, there was one every 3 weeks. This year? Every 2 weeks. So far.
