Perfect summary of Trump Administration. From the NYT: “..the E.P.A. has stopped estimating the public health benefits of reducing pollution in the cost-benefit analyses necessary for clean-air regulations. Instead, the agency has estimated only the costs to businesses of complying with the rules.”

+1.5C is not “a threshold”- it is just an arbitrary target for the rise in mean annual global temperature. Every fraction of a degree matters- leading to more extremes around the world. So let’s not talk about an “overshoot” relative to 1.5C. We are already in dangerous territory

Hard to listen to Aliya Rahman’s description of her treatment by ICE— but please do (in my recent post). This is not what the US should accept. I hope she sues the ass off those who treated her so badly. Any pro bono lawyers willing to step up?

“These practices must end now” !!!!!!!!!!!!Resharing from • @reshmasaujani Thank you, Aliya Rahman, for your extraordinary courage.Aliya is a U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident with autism who was on her way to an appointment for a traumatic brain injury when ICE agents dragged her out of her car and detained her.I hope those in a position of power take 6 minutes to watch her testimony. It is difficult to hear, but we should not look away.If this is how our own citizens are treated, just imagine…“We call ourselves a civilized nation, but we lack rules and accountability around what a person claiming to be law enforcement is permitted to do to another human being.”View all 3,198 comments

The man is really sick: Criminal Trump wrote on Truth Social, the Reiner couple’s deaths were “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

Criminal-Trump’s domestic policy bill that just passed in the Senate would end federal support for wind and solar energy and also impose a new tax on future projects. How incredibly stupid & short-sighted. Another victory for the Luddites & a loss for the US consumers

The US is ending its “humanitarian parole” system so it can now deport those who were offered a safe haven from danger abroad and who came here legally. We are no longer willing to be humanitarian. What a message that sends around the world. Another despicable act by Criminal-Trump.

Can it get worse? Georgia requires brain- dead mother to be kept alive as she is pregnant. She is being kept alive with ventilators due to the state’s strict abortion law. Surely this is exceptionally cruel and unusual punishment for the mother and her family. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Criminal-Trump explained why he went to Rome for the Pope’s funeral: “I won the Catholic vote”. He is incapable of appreciating just how vacuous & shallow a response that is. Nothing about the Pope’s wisdom & humanity, concerns about the environment, empathy for the poor & oppressed- just pathetic.

NSF Director resigns noting “ .. the invisible hand of NSF propels the discovery engine of our nation..”. Nice. But Criminal-Trump is about to chop that hand off, for no good reason. Congress must assert its authority and make sure the draconian cuts being recommended are never implemented.

Trump’s delusional statement today: “..climate change will create more waterfront property”. And more underwater property too— a lot more. Warmer oceans and melting ice will accelerate sea-level rise and expand the areas subject to coastal flooding

So the position of the Trump-Vance administration — and every member of Congress unless they explicitly say otherwise — is quite literally you do not have guaranteed free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like. That is the headline.

The Criminal-Trump administration just revoked federal grants for EV charging stations across the US, aimed at promoting vehicles using fossil fuels. The only person who benefits from this is Elon Musk who has a Tesla network of charging stations, now available to other cars — for a fee.
