A climate deal without explicit language calling for a fossil fuel phaseout is like a ceasefire without explicit language calling for a suspension of hostilities.

I've been trying to reduce my kids' exposure to plastic this year. It's a constant battle... haven't even gotten to toys and clothes yet. This article aligns with our experience that plastic used for medical purposes (g-tube, nebulizer) is still invaluable. medicalxpress.com/news/2025-09...

Young voters shifted dramatically toward Republicans in 2024. But now their net approval rating of Trump's job as president (-20) is back to their vote margin for him in 2020. Dems have to figure out how to capitalize on that. Economics is a good place to start
