Biden passed the most aggressive climate package in US history and probably ever again and I feel like the environmental beat is the only place we’re covering it

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

The obvious move after the supreme court grants the president absolute immunity for official acts is to make them regret it immediately

This is predictable but so important: Pasteurizing milk kills the H5N1 bird flu virus that is circulating widely in dairy cattle. It's easy to take a 150-year-old technique that has saved countless lives for granted, but don't fool around with unpasteurized dairy products. 🧪

New from me: The Supreme Court — in addition to granting Trump broad immunity — is slowly breaking the EPA, eroding its ability to write new climate rules, respond to public comments, and punish companies that pollute the air and drinking water.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Presidents age in office. Joe steered our country through one of our most difficult times all with an unfriendly media and a grifting religious right wing rebellion attempting to undermine every step he takes. He's been beat up. He's still willing to go on. Not for ambition or greed but for the US.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

Last night we skipped most of the press post mortem and watched "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare". Watching two hours of killing Nazis was very cathartic after a week of SCOTUS and the so called debate.

Why is the Presidential debate the night before SCOTUS' last day of the session where they are apparently going to drop the three biggest cases back to back!!?? Thought Dems were smarter than that. Joe can kick ass all he wants tonight, but no one will cover it tomorrow.
