What’s that? General Motors, Stellantis, AND Ford have just posted huge, record-breaking profits?? And 150,000 autoworkers are still living like it’s the Great Recession??? Seems messed up! I wonder if there’s some kind of major deadline coming up in 7 weeks to address this
Right-wing think tanks have written a 920 page plan, which begins day one of a Republican presidency, to dismantle most of the federal government’s work on climate.
