Professional investor to fund my interest in reading and talking science, particularly ecology, biodiversity and the losses we face in our natural world.
Very simple solution: require lawmakers to invest solely in broad index funds, no stock trading. There is zero reason to allow legislators to trade individual stocks while making policy. Any counter argument is self-serving BS.
They could pass this law tomorrow.

Hey MAGA - when Joe Biden came out on the stage and showed that he was not fit to be president again, Democrats replaced him, at great peril to their interests. It’s called courage and ethics.

I cannot imagine the insanity - or need for money - required to deny global warming but link insect and tree deaths, wildfires and declining animal populations to chemtrails.
What a venal ass.

Trump’s Solicitor General trying to argue that tariffs are NOT a tax on Americans, that foreign companies pay a huge percentage.
1. Honda Motor of America, a subsidiary of Honda in Japan, does pay the tariff on its cars here
2. There are a very small number of foreign subsidiaries like HMCA

Trump’s SG just admitted in the Supreme Court that the next Dem admin may declare a climate emergency and do whatever they want to oil and gas.Democrats take notice!
This also highlights the flaw in Trumpist unitary executive theory. It works when your party is in power - not so much when reversed.

This is destruction of public property and our national heritage. Trump and his miserable sons should be made to restore the East Wing at their cost.
If one of us merely defaced the WH we would be prosecuted.
MAGA would go out of their minds if Biden did 1/100th of this.

Pretty sure “doing studies to make proof” is not the scientific method.
I am all for doing rigorous science to test his hypotheses but I suspect he is simply goal seeking - like the administration’s climate group that disbanded immediately so they could not be questioned after their “report”.

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016, lost outright in 2020, and had a vote total spread in the bottom 20% on all presidential elections.
There is no “mandate”, we need not fear him and his idiots.
If the Dems can simply craft a message that LEADS with the economy they win the off election.
