Despite overwhelming opposition, the Trump Administration is moving forward with a plan to open up 44 million acres of national forests to logging and road construction, including some of NC's most beloved forests. substack.com/@robertmccul...

Under FDR, the highest marginal tax rate was raised to 94% in 1944. Eisenhower slightly lowered this to 91%, which lasted until '63. This was an era of unprecedented prosperity. Reagan later gutted the rate down to 28% with the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Taxing the rich works. Trickle down doesn't.

How to solve climate change? Just stop talking about it, according to the Trump Administration. The overwhelming scientific consensus is that climate change is very much real and caused directly by human activities (primarily the burning of fossil fuels). #environment #climatechange #climate
