Several women said they’d be willing to give up their right to vote if it meant creating a more conservative country at the Turning Point USA Women’s Leadership Summit recently held in San Antonio, Texas. https://t.co/J4KKj8Nver

@StephenM Really?

@leftcoastbabe @Revkin One factor is that Paxton is essentially old news, not breaking news. It’s all about getting eyes on the website or social media feed or whatever else pays the bills.

@leftcoastbabe @Revkin The right wing echo chamber is much much louder.

@delane392 @GiordanosPizza Oh.
My.
God.

@McNameeJason @ClimateBen @JamieKelseyFry It’s worthy of a discussion because unbridled capitalism has its downside, so I would go with a discussion of Democratic socialism as an alternative.

@JKEwilson @Braden_Keith @swimswamnews No, a member of that 1984 gold medal 4 x 200 Grossbuster relay cannot be obscure; also probably the most notable deaf swimmer ever.

Three scenarios discussed in our article illustrate the choices and risks we face. Let's aim for the green one.
We still have a choice, and are not yet destined to bequeath a much less habitable planet to future generations. Our children and grandchildren deserve a fair chance.

@McNameeJason @MikeHudema Without the location, it’s impossible to know if this is entirely natural, primarily anthropogenic-caused, or a combination.

Yesterday I told you the government is pulling 900 ocean monitoring instruments out of the water.

Here is the part that should make every American angry, regardless of where you stand on climate.

Congress voted to fund this network. Not once. Twice. The Trump administration proposed cutting it by 80 percent in 2025. Congress restored the money. Proposed the same cut in 2026. Congress restored the money again.

So the administration labeled it a "descope" and ordered the instruments pulled anyway.

That is not a budget disagreement. That is an executive branch telling the legislative branch that its votes do not matter. The public paid for this infrastructure. Congress protected it. One office in Washington decided the public should not have it.

This is the pattern I document in 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅 𝑮𝒖𝒚𝒔. It is not about left or right. It is about who decides what Americans are allowed to know about their own planet.

Who should make that call?

@Kate9675 @factpostnews @lisamurkowski Sadly, a lot of Alaskans are OK with it because of the economic prosperity that fossil fuel production has brought them.

@hilarywilce @factpostnews @Real_Chatty_Cat A lot of us are furious.

[Acker, J.G. @ackerjg]

@BrutscherJane @factpostnews The various agencies and departments are doing the jobs they’re supposed to do as directed by the administration. It’s horrible, but it’s very hard to stop.

[Acker, J.G. @ackerjg]

@factpostnews This is not a good news day.

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS I was going to say that this is unbelievably retarded, but nothing is unbelievable anymore

[Acker, J.G. @ackerjg]

@atrupar That might take awhile.

[Acker, J.G. @ackerjg]

@RyanWeather So what is your position on climate change now, Ryan?

[Acker, J.G. @ackerjg]

@PabloGallet @JunkScience If each doubling produces a similar forcing then what you’re saying is incorrect.
