When big food doesn’t want to talk about cutting emissions — by shifting diets, ending corn ethanol, reducing food waste, protecting forests, or managing fertilizers — they try to distract you.
They say methane “doesn’t count”.
They try to sell “regenerative grazing”.
They try to greenwash.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

The Seattle City Council added a series of height and density bonuses for stacked flats as they amended Mayor Bruce Harrell's proposed update to the City's Comprehensive Plan in September. The bonuses could create a stacked flat multiplex boom.

Not long ago, Democrats were targeted in the middle of the night in their own homes, yet the very voices now shouting were silent then. We didn’t create doxxing sites, we didn’t make threats, because that’s not who we are. That’s never been what we stand for.

The Senate version of GOP's budget bill dropped in the middle of the night. Astonishingly, it got EVEN WORSE. It raises energy costs, kills $100s of billions of investment in manufacturing, makes grids less reliable, increases pollution & constrains our ability to compete w/China on AI. Loser stuff.
