To all those who somehow still need to hear it, when POTUS imposes tariffs, we pay them.

Read that again. We. Pay. The. Tariffs

I just heard Zeldin speak on CNN. Dystopian is the first word that comes to mind. Very weird seeing the EPA only focus on economic issues instead of environment and public health.

Revoking the #endangermentfinding is a colossal mistake that will cost lives and billions of dollars. Shortsighted at best.

Emil Bove should never be allowed to hold public office.

Great new episode today with two absolute icons of environmental justice in this country.

A local farm recently lost most of their corn crop due to extreme heat. They also had to cancel a family festival that many look forward to.

Sadly we'll be seeing much more of this in coming years as climate impacts accelerate.

You want to know a great way to be sure you won't be the focus of viral internet cheaters shaming?

Don't cheat.

I love the Hubble vs Webb telescope side by sides. What we once thought we knew well, we now know we didn't really even know at all. We learned and are now better for it.

I'd like to see a social sciences version of the same, how we think things are vs how they actually are. Perception vs reality

For all the promise of #ai, I can't get past the environmental impacts and likely widespread layoffs that will follow. If an employer can use AI to do tasks faster and cheaper, they will every time.

If you weren't an expert on floods and FEMA two weeks ago, you still aren't one now. There have been many posts on both topics but only a handful by leaders in both fields. Check the resumes first before you believe the sound bites.

Water management will be one of the critical issues of the 21st century. We have risk models for a reason. It's past time to listen to them and plan based on rezoning the highest risk areas.

New #podcast episode on public policy development and protecting public health and the economy with Sandra Whitehead and Ryan Hathaway.

Cloud bursts scare the hell out of me. We're now seeing them all over the globe. Warmer air holds more water vapor, and the results on the ground are often catastrophic.

Nowhere is built to withstand these volumes but certain areas are especially susceptible.

One of the smartest most respected people I know told me today that she and 2/3 of her team will likely be let go within the next few weeks due to drastic federal budget cuts.

Their work is completely nonpartisan by definition, but it didn't matter. Lunacy.

At least 20 girls are missing from a summer camp in Texas after catastrophic floods The Kerr County sheriff said there had been 13 fatalities, without offering additional information, and warned there could be more.

Praying for a miracle.

I still can't believe that I live in a country where Alligator Alcatraz is a thing, and the most powerful man in the world loves the idea.

Wait, actually yes, I can totally believe it.

$40T in national debt

Electric grid well past its useful life

Stranded and now abandoned capacity

AI about to explode over the next few years and suck massive amounts of power and water

Climate change not just stopping because we're now ignoring it.

Food insecurity spreading

Buckle up

The shuttering of #usaid is a black stain on our history that will cost lives. Thank you to the dedicated and passionate workers who believed in the higher calling of helping those less fortunate than themselves. Your work made a difference.

The Senate OBBBA in Charts | Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget 2025-06-30-The Senate is currently considering

www.crfb.org/blogs/senate...

#OBBB will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions in needed investment, reduce grid capacity, and make lives harder for those already living paycheck to paycheck. It'll almost surely pass on the next few days and be celebrated by this administration. It shouldn't be.

We need grid capacity desperately, and should strive for the cleanest and most affordable forms possible. It's not a time to be holding back.

This bill will set us all back.

I just read most of the Senate bill. If this passes it will be a historic step backwards for environmental and public health, not to mention huge losses in investment and jobs for communities around the country, in both red and blue states.

Horribly shortsighted.

A few months ago I was invited to contribute to this pilot program. Great initiative for those interested in climate education and getting young people involved.

I'm nine years older than the likely next Mayor of New York City. I'm only 42. Not good.

Remember when Obama was crucified for wearing a tan suit? Times have changed. Trump is dropping F bombs and nothing will happen.
