If we made U.S. Presidents take drug tests the way we do UPS drivers we wouldn’t even be in this mess.

@warren.senate.gov publishes a report listing all the $$ that Congress gave to DOD to do DOD things that DOD instead spent on Stephen Miller's snatch and grab.
As you look at these numbers, think how much cancer research could have been funded.

I really wish journalists would stop using the word "retribution" to describe Trump's efforts to criminalize opposition to him, as it treats his claim that his adversaries did something wrong in the first place.

Trump's EPA is moving to strip protections from wetlands all across the country. This rule will have disastrous consequences for many American communities by polluting their drinking water and skyrocketing water treatment costs for taxpayers.

Given Trump's destruction of the White House, was thinking, "Maybe Dems should propose that when President OAC takes power they'll move the Capitol to Denver, make DC and PR a state, and rebuild from the start."
Just as a way to use Trump's destruction as a way to talk about HOW to rebuild.

In the US, PM₂.₅ from wildfire smoke already kills about the same number of people as guns and cars (~40k each), but this will increase significantly with climate change. 😐

Public lands are just that: public, and owned by the taxpayer. Republicans want to auction them off to the highest bidder to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Hell no.
Federal lands in Oregon, other Western states could be up for sale under budget proposal
The sales would not include national parks, national monuments or wilderness, under the proposal that U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, included in the GOP's tax cut package.

Thankful to my friend & colleague Victor Vescovo for his important statement on #DeepSeaMining in light of all the recent attention, including US efforts to pursue it outside of international law. In short, DSM will NOT achieve the economic or national security goals people think it will!!! 🌊 🦑

Today I am planning a new flowerbed for butterfly and moth host plants, plus supporting public lands however I can. I'm also going to contact my reps re: the destruction of planet and public safety for profit.
Happy Earth Day!
Today and every day Wisconsin is proud to be the home of Senator Gaylord Nelson, the man who founded this holiday and reminded us all— we must fight to preserve this world that we all share.

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.
