I'm still fuming that Roger Pielke Jr. was excluded from the author team!
That new usual suspects (Curry, Spencer, Christy, McKitrick, Koonin) Trump EPA climate denier report? (www.energy.gov/sites/defaul...)?
I asked chatGPT to evaluate it. It had no trouble producing a succinct and convincing refutation:

Government = car.
Politicians = driver.

Quit blaming the car for what the drivers are doing.

Would it be rude to call Trump and the Republicans "Lurch and the Fewer" Drownings are mostly silent. Fraud is illegal. Put up the evidence, make the charges, or pay the cost.

Teams of the most wealthy men on the planet can't do arithmetic is really not plausible, yet it has been an easy sale so far. Not a shred of evidence and tremendous harms based on lies a large condom would not cover. Lies know to be lies. They know it is not fraud. Charges would be forth coming.

Why were no investigations into USAID began during the time the GOP held the House? That control been going on for several years now. How have they gotten the extensive reports from the GAO for years and seem to have not bothered to examine them? Why only Theories of Fraud so far? Enforce the law.

Massive fraud and yet they can not find evidence to prosecute even a misdemeanor sized violation of the law. It is that Evidence thing again, I guess. They just don't do evidence. A Fraud is against the law. Provide the evidence or you are an accomplice. So far Elon and Trump are accomplices.

A group of allies of David Koch and that clan have actively worked on a plan to drown our government for half a century. It gets here and it feels like the Democratic Party has been caught with their pants down, just astonished at them doing exactly what they have told us they would do for 50 years.

A quickly executed plan that the Koch and similar forces in our political world have been working on for about half a century is not chaos. Chaos may be the makeup they are wearing, but the guillotine was well built, well engineered, and ordered with this in mind. That is not Chaos.

We need more chairs at the table and enough of a table to accommodate those chairs. Especially if folks think DEI is taking seats at the table away from some of us. The tables and chairs are the problem, not the people.

Democrats want an open meadow to sing kumbaya together and help everybody have a good life.
Republicans talk about there are dangerous people out there who want to hurt you, we need to build fences and walls, to keep them out and keep us safe.
The fences are intended to keep folks apart, isolated.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I hope we all realize a lot of the fix we are in would not exist if we simply made anybody that wants on the ballot have to pass the same test, release the results, of the test every naturalized citizen has to pass to become a US citizen.
What I can see, a lot of them probably could not pass.

Without enforcement, there is no law. Trump has no laws to control him, as the Roberts Court, and McConnel's Senate has demonstrated.

Let's all stand up and praise John Roberts Supreme Court for ending the Constitutional government of the United States. Let us all celebrate the victory of one man above the law. Or else. Rule of Law seems to be DOA. This is due to the efforts, in large part, to John Roberts. Credit, blame where due
