As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf.
Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

81% of American people believe tRump is hiding something, and it’s why he’s fought releasing the Epstein files, well ya don’t say! He can sign now that the Senate passed it, then the DOJ will say no due to ongoing investigation, his dirty saving grace, the DOJ who works for him and not us!

Trump didn’t need a discharge petition to release the MLK Jr., JFK, or Earhart files.
So why are the Epstein files the one set he refuses to touch?

Remember that time New York elected a Muslim mayor and MAGA shit their pants saying Sharia law was coming to NYC, and then like a week later Trump gave F-35's to Saudi Arabia, the capital of Wahabbi fundamentalist Islam, where 17 of 19 9/11 hijackers were citizens? Just to open Trump Tower Riyadh?

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

Large far-right German delegation to visit Washington, Trump ally says
The invitation to the capital comes as Alternative for Germany politicians seek to build closer ties to the U.S. government.

The only political accomplishment out of this for Dems is that when health insurance skyrockets for 22 million Americans in 42 days, it will be clear to even low information voters that Republicans are the ones responsible. Whether that makes all this worth it remains to be seen.

Well, the good news is that perhaps the capitulation of a bunch of Senate Dems to a deal that will make the entire government shut down worthless and will give a victory to Trump and the GOP is that perhaps people will finally get the idea of how much damage spineless MAGA-lite centrists are doing.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

I’m in a blue state and I know my Senators won’t vote for this. Our governor already said “don’t worry about SNAP we will fund it.” Not only that but the people have been amazing funding food banks with food and money. DON’T CAVE NOW!!!!

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
