The murder of Charlie Kirk — and the rhetoric that’s followed — has me more concerned than ever about America’s direction.
I wrote my thesis on conflict in Northern Ireland. What I see here feels eerily familiar to that violent conflict between Catholics & Protestants. 🧵

Republican's proposed tax provisions that dropped today are as bad as they could be.
🚨 BLUF on Republican Ways & Means text: This is nothing short of full repeal of the clean energy incentives that have spurred $400b+ in private-sector investment. This bill will kill 100s of thousands of jobs in construction and manufacturing and raise energy costs for everyone. Full stop.

FEDERAL STAFFING DOES NOT SCALE LINEARLY WITH REGULATORY STRINGENCY! Cut the action level for mercury (a deadly neurotoxin) by 50% and you still need comparable monitoring and enforcement capacity to enforce that weaker threshold. You cut staff 50% when you don't want to enforce pollution standards.
