I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

“Pollution and climate change can’t hurt you if you don’t have data to know about it.” — Lee Zeldin, probably
The EPA ordered the virtual elimination of a 15-year-old federal program that requires thousands of power plants, oil refineries, cement factories and other large industrial facilities to publicly report their greenhouse gas emissions, according to two people briefed on the decision.
E.P.A. Is Said to Plan Deep Cuts to Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
Officials are moving to eliminate requirements that most big polluters disclose how much carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases they emit.

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.
In fact, it was 4%.
And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

If you paid for a blue check this month on Elon Musk’s X, then you paid more than Elon Musk’s Tesla paid in taxes last year — which is $0.
Instead of cutting Social Security and Medicare, make billionaires and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.

There’s no evidence that vaccines cause autism.
You know what there IS evidence of, when it comes to causal factors for autism?
Air pollution.
So cars. Including tail pipes, tire particles, brake pads.
And fossil fuel energy-related pollution, industrial pollution, etc.
And not just autism.

I’m not a tech guy so my only takeaway from the AI meltdown is that if you’re relying on outdated assumptions about how a particular market works and are slow to adapt to how the market has fundamentally changed, simply throwing more money at the problem won’t make you more competitive
