Thank you @rephuffman.bsky.social and @naturalresources.bsky.social for calling out how Republicans' budget reconciliation bill is an attempt to “give a lifeline to this dying [coal] industry to line the pockets of some of their rich pals and to pedal false hope to what is left of coal country."

Why isn't our democracy strong enough to stop him?
There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws.
In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

Members of the @vdeminstitute.bsky.social talk to @revkin.bsky.social about autocratization and u-turns back to democracy. It gave me a sense of an historical ebb and flow, instead of the linear narratives about the spread of democracy that we grew up on, or the despair we might be feeling now.
