The big economic questions in coming decades will come down to how extreme the #weather will be and how to value the future versus the present. How permanent will the costs be? How might climate change fuel inequality? Can we adapt to a warmer climate?https://t.co/FZvQUn3H8w

Friday (11 Jan): 800 THOUSAND US federal workers will miss their first paycheck due to the gov't #shutdown. More people than the population of the cities of Seattle, Portland, Denver, Boston, Detroit, Las Vegas & Washington (DC). This is ludicrous. People cannot work for nothing.

As the year winds down and we look toward 2019, I’m asking you to make a commitment: find something you want to change in your community and take the first step toward changing it. If you need some inspiration, take a look at some of the young leaders who inspired me this year.

Today is #WorldAidsDay, a day to bring awareness to the disease that has killed over 35 million people globally since 1980, devastated the queer community and remains a leading cause of death for reproductive-age women around the world.

We must do better.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

In my on-boarding to Congress, I get to pick my insurance plan.

As a waitress, I had to pay more than TWICE what I’d pay as a member of Congress.

It’s frustrating that Congressmembers would deny other people affordability that they themselves enjoy. Time for #MedicareForAll.

If the #UK leaves the #EU w/out a trade deal, we "could be looking at #tariffs on cheddar cheese from #Ireland of 47%, on beef of 42%, & on tomatoes of 28%." Yet, as many as 18% of UK citizens would be happy to leave the EU without a trade deal. (from @the_brc via @TheEconomist)
