I want to thank Alyssa for talking to us for this story. It's hard to see a program like The Future Class be abandoned when it had huge potential.
I wanted to share more of my thoughts that include Future Class, Game Awards, and accessibility so I made a video about it: youtu.be/nNcvtsba90M

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.
The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Ok, we're sick of the talk. Put up or shut up. Call for @schumer.senate.gov to resign. Remove that piece of shit from leadership, and office. He isn't fit, and if you continue to go about business working under him, you aren't either.
