MacKenzie Scott is so much better than every other stingy billionaire who doesn't do the right thing. Especially you, Jeff.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA

“How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

A new draft of the farm bill from House Republicans is being used to advance protections for pesticide manufacturers. The proposal includes language that would shield companies from state-level penalties or court rulings if their product labels don’t spell out potential health risks.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.
