whatever you can say about how shit the US has been, it has never institutionalised this kind of personal worship of the Leader in the same way that North Korea has. it's qualitatively different from the shitty things the US has previously done.

YES! LET THEM KNOW THEY’RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS
Rep. Thanedar asks Lyons and Scott if they think Trump will pardon them and Noem.

Scott: "I don't need a pardon from anybody."

Thanedar: "You better hope so because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year."

US corn–soybean farmers use far more nitrogen fertilizer than crops can absorb,  wasting them money, polluting drinking water, and producing climate emissions comparable to as many as 14 million gasoline-powered cars a year. Read our new report to learn more:
Less Fertilizer, Better Outcomes
Every year, US farmers apply between 30 and 50 percent more synthetic nitrogen fertilizer than their crops can actually absorb, and the excess that runs off farm fields does harm to people, ecosystems, and the climate.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

extremely hopeful, honestly. as long as you can explain the problem visually in 30 seconds you really can make people understand things they've otherwise been tricked about

you thought you could make your "we have a panopticon for hunting down specific people one at a time, this is awesome" story about a lost dog. you showed visuals of how that worked in excruciating detail. small children pointed at the screen and said "they're going to do that to people"

it is difficult to do, but every now and again, people overestimate how stupid the general public is.
have never seen popular public opinion shift so fast about a surveillance product than the fallout from ring's super bowl "search party" ad. they'll teach this in advertising courses one day. chef's kiss baby www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

THERE'S NO MEANINGFUL US CLIMATE REGULATION TO WIPE OUT

look I want my government to acknowledge CO2 bad too but this is not a massive deregulatory victory or whatever
Pretty good summary of the forces arrayed against the CO2 endangerment finding. I think they are counting their chickens prematurely.

Second: The electric sector is the domain of states. Without state renewables laws, there would be no renewables, period.

States made this market and this revolution that many are now calling "inevitable."

It is not inevitable. Feds and pro-fossil state legislators can do a lot to slow it.

This biggest source of climate pollution in the country is car tailpipes, and the only (ONLY) federal climate law currently is some very inadequate car tailpipe pollution standards. Trump has already thrown even those out.

Fortunately: states have a lot of power here.

With the federal government poised to (illegally) kill off the EPA's climate authority, what has been an open secret is now the only game in town:

If you want to make progress on climate, you need to focus on the States.

Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview.
If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

Billionaires are stateless. They exist in an environment/bubble wholly separate from “normal” society mostly unbound by cultural norms, laws and customs. They can pull up stakes and go anywhere at any time, or like Zuck, Ellison and Epstein buy partial or whole islands to have for themselves. Nuts

just a fucking weird statement on it's face but also highlights how filthy rich and completely out of touch trump's whole cabinet is. a private boat for a family vacation? stopping by a billionaire's island for lunch? nannies, plural?? the epstein class, indeed.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children
