frankly, the first defeat that we can hand them, in November, is the easiest possible one we are going to be offered, and we'd be fools not to make it happen.

Biden should order all federal agencies to ignore the courts on the Chevron repeal. As an official act, of course.

I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).

SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.

And BY THE WAY, the next Administration will need to set emissions reductions commitments under the Paris Agreement for 2035. Biden already has a 50-52% reduction target by 2030 & a net-zero by 2050 target. But the 2035 target sets the trajectory. Pull out of Paris & that goes away & dooms net-zero.

the climate story right now is in a very weird state of flux a) the warming we've priced in is bad and really starting to show itself b) the renewable story is astoundingly good and getting better we are left with "warming is going to get worse but almost certainly not as much as it could have"

As with the 2020 election, the problem is not that the trial was rigged but that it wasn’t. Trump’s demand is for trials and elections that are rigged in his favor.
