what gets me about the current surge in resistance to climate policy is it has never been more obviously necessary, cheap, or easy. half this stuff is on the shelf!!
Not just the fastest, or the cheapest, or the best, but the *only* possible solution to climate change is a rapid global buildout of clean energy infrastructure. If you're standing in the way of that, you're not working on climate change & should be honest with yourself about your priorities.

This week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:

Trump: "It's called a coganative [sic] test. It's a very standard test, but very tough. There are few people in this audience that can -- once you get past the first question. They show you a lion, a bear, a giraffe, and a snake and they say, 'Which one is the lion?' Biden was unable to answer that"
I know we shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore but it is pretty remarkable how the GOP line on Talarico — not just from online randos! from the actual vice president — is "lol he's gay"
JD Vance: "I love you too sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is good but still presents an implementation challenge because Throw polling at 60% is misleading when Take polls at 5%.
Latest WSJ poll: "63% want to pause AI development 61% want a billionaire wealth tax 59% want Medicare for All 57% want a $20 minimum wage 58% want to end U.S. military aid to Israel" This is the center of the country politically. it is time all adjust to this political spectrum, esp. media.
best Founding Father
Fun fact: In his diary for Sep 9, 1776, John Adams spent only a single sentence, with no particular enthusiasm, noting Congress had officially adopted the name "United States." He then spent a thousand words recounting his argument with Ben Franklin about whether to close the bedroom window at night
Impeachable
Extraordinary for any American president: Trump offered to sell weapons to Xi Jinping of China. That was revealed by David Perdue, US ambassador. Trump is withholding a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan approved by Congress. China aids Iran and Russia. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...
