Climate action now 🇺🇸

@Noahpinion 💯I think we are in for a cycle of transformative innovation. For a decade or two, it felt like we were just inventing new consumer products and apps that didn’t transform our quality of life. The vaccine effort, as well as clean energy and AI, have changed my perspective.

@NRO @RichLowry @charlescwcooke @NoahCRothman @AudreyFahlberg You got the scenario wrong. Top of the ‘28 ticket will be Don Jr, not Vance. And Sr will be the center of the campaign. Jr will dutifully step down immediately after inauguration. Clearly allowed by the 22A text - SCOTUS will not stand in the way. @charlescwcooke too sanguine

@ArmandDoma A Richie Torres quote is in this thread. Members like him who do well in working class districts should be at the center of D strategy going forward. But they give off conservative vibes which progs are going to have to stomach for the sake of the coalition.

@jpodhoretz They also got him to pick Vance

@LolOverruled And if it leads to PR statehood…

@FrankLuntz States are no longer sovereign. They used to be 250 years ago which the founders had to deal with when writing the Constitution. But that sovereignty is long dead and we don’t need to respect it anymore.

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll discuss the Kremlin’s funding of Tennessee-based media company TENET Media. TENET Media is best-known for their promotion of Russian narratives and for strong support for Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 US elections.

@ArmandDoma Not if she votes for a R leader who would control what gets to the floor

@drvolts Ruben Gallego, Lauren Underwood, Wes Moore

@ChrisCillizza NC is dark blue?

[Radical Pragmatist @radprag123]

@drvolts In TN and TX (also NY and RI). Seeding clean tech in red states is one of the best strategies.

“What Ukraine Has Lost”

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.

The scale is hard to comprehend.

More buildings have been destroyed in Ukraine than if every building in Manhattan were to be leveled four times over. Parts of Ukraine hundreds of miles apart look like Dresden or London after World War II, or Gaza after half a year of bombardment.

This is the first comprehensive picture of where the Ukraine war has been fought and the totality of the destruction.

Using detailed analysis of years of satellite data, the researchers developed a record of each town, each street, each building that has been blown apart.
