I appreciate and can support the attempt, but does anyone think this approach will really work? I'm skeptical. So long as there is big money to be made in deforesting, ppl will find a way.
Countries with significant amounts of tropical forest cover can receive up to $4 per hectare ($1.62 per acre) of standing forest per year through the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, or TFFF.

But with penalties of up to $800 per hectare ($324 per acre) of deforestation, payments shrink fast.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

His parish priest wrote to the athletic director at Providence college asking that Wilkens be considered for scholarship despite his limited playing time. A two time All-American at Providence. What a great priest.

Sky, Murdoch, and the rest of the Elmer Fudds out there are not conservatives. They are cryptofascists whose only interest is in continuing uninterrupted, to suck at the teat of the fossil fuel economy.

Sean Duffy’s been telling us for months that we have a critical shortage of air traffic controllers in this country which is causing serious safety issues in air travel, then Trump comes out today & calls them a bunch of traitors if they took a day off & encourages them to quit.

Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

“.. Grocery prices. Gas prices. Prescription drug prices. Overall prices. Over just three days, Trump made false claims about all of them.

“.. As of September, the year-over-year inflation rate had increased for five consecutive months.”
