Exclusive: Pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, proposing a national emergency to expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines. https://t.co/oZ8zw88Dpk

The 2026 elections may not come down to Democrats vs. Republicans.

It may be about whether we remain a democracy or move to an authoritarian society.

We cannot allow Trump and his friends to stop a free and fair election.

Fight back.

Breaking news: The Trump administration acknowledged for the first time that members of the U.S. DOGE Service accessed and shared sensitive Social Security data without the awareness of agency officials, months after a whistleblower raised concerns. https://t.co/aJpPDf3u7C

David Ellison, described by President Trump as a “great man” who would “do the right thing with” CBS News after he purchased its parent company, is making a play for CNN's parent company.

The Supreme Court's emergency docket decision to allow Trump to gut the Department of Education is maybe the most pro-Trump, pro-Authoritarian ruling the Court has made in service of Trump thus far, and I've read them all.

This is a game-changer by Israel’s most well-respected int’l legal scholars, including Prof Benvenisti who defended Israel at the ICJ and Prof. Shany who argued Amnesty was wrong to call Gaza a genocide. They now say Israel’s latest plans in Gaza “may be interpreted” as genocidal

[Yehuda Shaul @YehudaShaul]

[1] 16 IL Int Law Scholars, among them, Prof Benvenisti who was part of the IL defence team in the ICJ, warned that if @Israel_katz's plan for the concentration of the pop in southern Gaza materializes, it might be a conduct which falls under the prohibition of genocide.

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system

A privacy expert called this data aggregation effort a "hair on fire" development

We need to have an honest conversation about nuclear deterrence now. Because the way nuclear deterrence has been talked about this past year has been so bizarre and we really need to talk about it and dig in a bit more about what it means. Sorry, this is going to be a long one 😬

The average American emits more CO₂ in one week than an average person in low-income countries does in one year.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

We see a lot of concern today that renewables and other clean electricity will require too much materials, and producing those will break our remaining carbon budget.

We have a new paper out today we find that these concerns are overblown. https://t.co/Jadwit6Hav

Whether it's conservatives violently attacking liberals, or liberals being violently attacked by conservatives, both sides have a violent attack problem.

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.

Decarbonising the world economy within the Paris climate range will require <5% of GDP in investment. Solving world food crisis will cost a few % of global GDP. At the same time we put 6-7 % of global GDP in fossil fuel subsidies. Unacceptable. Shows we can afford a bright future

Are meat substitutes really better for the climate than meat and dairy?

It was surprisingly hard to find a dataset that answered this question, so I started building one.

I show the results in my new Substack post.

Spoiler: yes, most are lower-carbon.

The outcome of #COP27 would be very different if attendance were limited to only those who will be alive in 2050.
