This story by @naveenasadasivam.bsky.social and @compatibilism.bsky.social is SO good, which makes me SO glad we had Naveena on this week's @climateone.org episode to talk about (surprise!) electricity prices.
So, any other news yesterday?
Anything important?

Here’s a thought for James Comer.
There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.
It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.
You know, just to see what she knows.
😕
Wow.

Reminder: ocean heat content is a BETTER metric of global heating than surface temperatures (which are far more prone to fluctuations due to El Nino/La Nina), and unlike surface temperatures, it set a NEW RECORD THIS PAST YEAR:
Did I miss the vote on extending the ACA subsidies that was the hard won triumph that caused a group of Dems to vote to end the shutdown? How did that go?
This is pretty irresponsible. It’s time to deep six Faux News.

Far more concerning is the comment Lapado made about the whooping cough vaccine being ineffective ??? Wish (again) Jake Tapper would have followed up by asking where he gets his information.

Numerous studies, including the Abecedarian Project and the Perry Preschool Project, have shown that children who begin preschool at an early age experience significant benefits in cognitive, academic, and social development. Seems like a program you’d want funded.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.
Reminds us of how @marshablackburn voted against it then showed up to try to take credit for it: x.com/thetnholler/...
When addressing the climate crisis, the focus often centers only on carbon dioxide emissions and methane.
Yet, nitrous oxide is 300 times more potent and remains active in the atmosphere for more than 100 years.

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.
The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe
Stop underestimating them
Day 3 at UrbanShift Africa Forum and the message is clear: we must achieve clean air for all.

“come back to the table in gratitude”
Just thinking about the times that Netanyahu, who leads a country that is the largest recipient of U.S. aid under Dem and Republican presidents, has been invited by Republicans expressly to scold & embarrass Dem presidents.
No leader should need to grovel.
No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”
I’ve always been skeptical of folks who say Trump is a literal ‘Russian asset’ or that Moscow has ‘kompromat’ on him, and the Russia obsession hurt the Dems in term one… but… how does anyone explain this? Justify this? How?

A reminder that Ukraine was once the third largest nuclear power in the world and voluntarily gave up those weapons. In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia guaranteed Ukraine's security in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum.
