I live 100ft away from a retired House rep in his 80s who I see at least monthly at our neighborhood social; he has said to me almost verbatim what Duncan said here. Older members are terrified of walking away from the 20-person 24/7 support network you can't even get in a high end nursing home.
I keep saying this but the reason members of congress want to stay in office until they die is they can't buy that kind of elder care anywhere else, even if they are rich

BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported, Immigration Judge Rules
The judge said the Trump administration’s evidence – a two-page letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio – is sufficient to deport Khalil under an obscure legal provision.

Interesting read reminds us that even without Trusk we were heading for a ‘hell in a hand cart’ climate future. peterdorman.substack.com/p/climate-ch... So rather than dwell on the climate nonsense from a couple of Twerps, let’s focus on what a 2°C future actually requires & rapidly work towards it.

Speak out. Organize. Across all the silos. They are testing to see what they can get away with.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

I doubt Starmer, Miliband (or his advisor) see CCS as an affordable & working technology, rather as another delay tactic aligned with their net zero 2050 ruse. The key purpose is to avoid making urgent Paris-compliant cuts in emissions as they’re too challenging for their growth growth growth dogma.
