Russ Vought is Donald Trump's budget director and the most dangerous person you've never heard of. He helped write Project 2025, and he has spent years arguing that a president should be free to ignore spending laws he doesn't like. Now he's doing exactly that.

There are plenty good ideas for fighting climate change. A life hack towards fixing the problem might be discarding ideas that aren’t likely to be of much use that keep getting trotted out as “solutions” that are more often greenwashing delaying tactics designed to protect fossil fuel interests.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

#ClimateChangeBugsMe It should gnaw at everyone everyday, until it removes doubt or complacency & compels us all to work to reverse it. Any government or business official who makes things worse or doesn’t have a plan to make things better must be removed from positions of power. Let’s fix this.

If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should. The FCC and this administration are constantly trying to squash the resistance, but the resistance always finds a way around them. They can keep trying to silence people. It isn’t working. Tomorrow there will be more of us!

"yes, we are going to need gas for some time" This sounds reasonable and level-headed but it is a genuinely bonkers thing to say about a toxic product we need to eliminate ASAP to protect our own health and safety. No other 'useful' but dangerous product has been talked about in this way.

You may have missed some ways climate change affects you, but it IS affecting you. Pay attention, work to understand, work to reverse it. First step: Vote only for candidates who acknowledge the problem & have a plan to deal with it. We screw this up & all other issues pale in comparison. Act!

Artist Joel Shapiro Shapiro, who died last year, has previously described the statue as embodying “action and risk and performance and energy,” calling it a “celebration of possibility.” Clearly at odds with the goals and priorities of the current administration. #StopTheMadness
