If environmentally conscious politicians and activists are saying we need to scale down, pay a little more for gas or electricity, and cut down on our consumption in order to save the future for all coming generations, listen to them. We need to cut down on emissions. It cannot wait until 2030 or 2035. It needs to start today and be more than what we planned for to make up for ignoring it in the past.COP26: Praise for updated national climate plans, but ‘nowhere near’ goal:https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/10/1103972

Democrats are helping end poverty, COVID-19, improve infrastructure, and bring our troops home. So why should anyone vote Republican ever again?

World leaders condemn these attacks. What do hyper-partisan Republicans do?They condemn Biden. What a predictable and despicable response to this tragedy.GOP's McCarthy wants Pelosi to call House back to Washington to address Afghanistan - https://abcn.ws/3sTVje7

Give it a rest re: the dinner at the French Laundry. If that's the worst thing, so be it. He did a great job during the pandemic, unlike Noem in South Dakota, DeSantis in Florida, Abbott in Texas and Stitts in Oklahoma, who obviously are only concerned about their political future and not the health of the people in their state. I will take Newsom over Trump sycophants any day. Fellow Californians, please vote — we cannot let this recall happen.If you give a listen to the ultra-conservative Elder, his views come off as extremist, intolerant, and dogmatic.There are only 5.3 million Republicans in CA. Democrats can defeat this recall by simply mailing back their ballot. #VoteNoOnTheCaliforniaRecallWhat California’s Recall Election Says About America:https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/08/gavin-newsom-california-recall/619848/

"False information" and myths" is Trump and Fox News and should include himself, Governor Asa Hutchinson.Really, he is the reason this is happening. The buck stops at the top, in this case the governor.Arkansas governor blames 'myths' for 'hardened' vaccine resistance- https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/25/arkansas-governor-blames-myths-vaccine-resistance-500724

You can always tell when you're on the right side of history by the number of children you've directly caused to go hungry. /sManchin is doing pretty well by that count.Opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin has made it unlikely the Build Back Better Act will pass the Senate this year, so Democrats may turn to a voting rights bill:https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/15/build-back-better-act-democrats-unlikely-to-pass-biden-social-spending-plan.html

Neither the US nor NATO has even proposed inviting Ukraine to join NATO. The issue is whether the allies should appease Putin by letting him to dictate what the Ukraine, the US and the other allies may or may not do.In order to advance his anti-Biden brand by undermining his own country, however, Hawley is taking up Putin's side. It sows chaos and is a pot shot at the allies' efforts to head off a war and invasion that could weaken the standing of the US and its allies, embolden a madman, and cost the lives of thousands of people.That Hawley is willing to do that says a lot about the junior senator from Missouri -- none of it good.Josh Hawley calls on Biden to drop support for Ukraine membership in NATO:https://www.axios.com/josh-hawley-biden-ukraine-nato-membership-8ea2f9e0-f892-4e6b-8050-0b5e9fba3d95.html

@TonyStarkIt would be a big step forward to go electric with the new trucks.Also, zero neighborhood exhaust pollution as the postal worker makes their rounds.Even with the cost of chargers, which can be shared between vehicles and also rented out (another source of revenue) it's less expensive. If DeJoy was interested in saving money or doing his job in the interest of the Post Office, he’d go all electric.

Thank you, President Biden. TFG did this to California out of spite.The Biden administration is restoring the state’s power to set its own limits on tailpipe pollution and is largely adopting the state’s rules regarding heavy trucks:https://nyti.ms/3LOhrjp:

By people who just don't care about smog so bad you couldn't go outside for days.Couldn't see the sky, the sun or the moon. Toxic air, acid rain, asthma and lung disease.East Coast wasn't much better. Probably worse because of industry.Republicans won't stop until they destroy every bit of human progress. #ElectDemocrats Seventeen states sue EPA for letting California set vehicle standards-https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/3487755-seventeen-states-sue-epa-for-letting-california-set-vehicle-standards/

@TonyStark"Repeating a lie doesn't change the lie into the truth, it changes the people hearing the repeated lie. They begin to accept the lie as truth."Most relevant thing ever written, possibly.

@TonyStark We need a lot more coverage of this kind of thing. Republicans all over are filing suits and trying to undermine the midterms.
