This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027.
And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should.

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.

Some conservatives--the WSJ editorial board, for instance--seem to be deciding that Trump may not quite understand international economics.
It will be interesting to see if this new skepticism extends to questioning his grasp of climate science. (Probably not).

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

MAGA is Nihilism.
It will destroy anything and everything, for no reason at all.
There's no ideology or purpose beyond that. Sure, maybe some people will loot what's lootable along the way, but they don't even care about sustainable looting.

They will murder immigrants. They will murder the Vichy Dems. They will murder Canadians.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?
Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?
