The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates’ heinous crimes deserve justice. Enough is enough. This floor vote is long overdue. Release the files.

Yale researchers didn't stop there. They also identified what people most need to know to catalyze action and support climate policy; and it's not about global temps, ice sheets, or ocean currents.
What people most need to know about climate change is that (1) others care, and (2) there is hope.

Fabulous thread on Subcommittee report on COVID origins from Kristian Andersen. Read all his recent posts on this.
... which is - what did we really learn about COVID-19 Origin from this two-year investigation?
Nothing. Zilch.
Why? Because, not once did the committee engage with the science. Instead, they present a play-by-play of private emails, transcribed interviews, and other random tidbits out of context.
