I haven’t always agreed with Representative Casten’s preferred climate policy solutions, but this rebuttal to the NYT OpEd is a masterpiece!
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...
Opinion | Obama Supported It. The Left in Canada and Norway Does. Why Don’t Democrats?

45. Specifically, we've decoupled economic growth from fossil energy consumption. Coal demand has collapsed. Oil use is flat. Natural gas use is growing but < GDP, even as standards of living have gone up. That's happened because of higher efficiency and decarbonization.

33. That's even more true for exported natural gas which also has to be liquefied since the liquefaction process is so energy intensive. Roughly speaking, you need nearly 120 units of gas to make 100 units of LNG. So more CO2 and magnified impacts of upstream leaks.

10. In other words, in 2012 new production benefited domestic producers AND consumers. But today, new production only benefits producers. That's a fundamentally different policy and political environment. And note also that domestic consumption is basically flat for the last 20 yrs.

In the past 72 hours, the President’s photo was released by Congress with a bunch of underaged redacted rape victims he assaulted and he said of the deceased in a mass shooting “things can happen.” Any other person would already be impeached and in the custody of the US Marshals Service.

Final note: one of the effects of being on social media, with its video clips, is a distorted view of what "the media" is actually covering. Very little serious coverage of the WH I've seen relies on Ms Leavitt as a reliable source, usually just asking her to comment, as they must.

Has the professional pundit class here decided this is their personal social medium playground? I’ve seen a few get snarky towards the general public who follows them over the last few weeks. It is a good way to lose followers.

Someone made the point - I think Adam Kinzinger - that the problem is it’s one thing to refuse to murder someone if ordered. It’s another to refuse an order where you yourself don’t have the full context and couldn’t possibly - but someone above you does/did

Thank you, @jonathancapehart.bsky.social for your closing statement on tonight’s @pbs News Hour! It is wrong to always expect people who are appalled by Trump/Project 2025 to be the ones to do the listening and understanding, whilst the T/P2025 supporters get to close their minds.

The thing is, as far as Trumo is concerned, HE is the world. He alliows other people of great wealth and influence into his world. The dumb shits applauding him think they are actually welcome, not merely allowed.
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.
