Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Rachel Cockerell’s non-fiction book The Melting Point is a gem in substance and presentation. A family history deeply entwined in the Zionist movement and Jewish emigration is effectively recounted solely by the direct quotation of primary sources.

Rachel Kushner’s novel Creation Lake takes the reader into the mind of an amoral agent provocateur as she schemes to set up activists for a fall. She’s not laudable, but there is something about her.

“We Want to Save This Investment”: Advocates Race to Secure Maternal Health Funding Before It Runs Out
Over the last five years, nearly $90 million has gone to state committees that review maternal deaths and identify their causes. Advocates say cuts to the program would be “devastating.”

I have wondered for a long time which mattered more: reality, or the online perception of reality. If people whose children die still don't believe in vaccines, then we have the answer.
“Their kids die of measles and they still don’t believe it.”

RFK Jr. ‘makes a living on lawsuits that target vaccines:’ Brandy Zadrozny on HHS measles response
Measles cases have reached a 33-year high with breakouts across 39 states. Critics have called on HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to do more to stop the spread. Kennedy has been advocating alternatives to the MMR vaccine. MSNBC Senior Reporter Brandy Zadrozny argues this is “vaccine cynicism” coming from “a person who makes a living on lawsuits that target vaccines, an anti-vaccine activist in charge of public health,” says Zadrozny.

We are in this fix because Congress is controlled by spineless MAGA lackeys, and an unhinged MAGA majority on SCt has shielded Trump (and by extension his minions) from criminal liability, given him enough wiggle room to evade lower court orders, and facilitated a huge expansion of executive power.
Whether damages, contempt, proff sanctions, or embarrassing revelations to deny confirm for plum federal court appointment, the courts, whistleblowers, plaintiffs’ attorneys, senators, and bar associations must find ways to punish MAGA operatives’ lawless behavior.
