While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
Not a basketball court or a bowling alley.
Republicans sound ridiculous making that comparison.
This isnβt an βupgradeβ to the White House, itβs a monument to himself. Trump has no intention of ever leaving β heβs building his own palace and tearing down the entire East Wing to make it happen.

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to βcome and get meβ after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

This picture shows the spines for The Endless Week and The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam stacked on top of each other and held up in front of a small tree on a sunny day.
It's pub day! We couldn't be happier about helping to put these two beauties into the world. Please help us spread the word!
