We live in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”

This the right answer for many of these questions. Asking these questions is like going to someone else’s birthday party and complaining that you didn’t get to blow out the candles.

So, a different President could see a national emergency affecting our environmental and health safety and force fossil fuel power plants to shut down? How is this concept of a centrally planned economy even considered in the Republican Party?

HAPPY TAX DAY!
How much would you spend on a year of tornado warnings? The average US taxpayer spends only $4 a year to help fund the NWS. It’s a smart investment—every $1 invested in NWS yields approx. $73 in social benefits.
🌪️❄️ Support science. Support the NWS.
Stay tuned for more this #TaxDay

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Let’s not forget that we are not talking about financial market dislocation on the levels of 2007 because the USA put in regulatory environments to avoid those issues again.

The current administration and Republican Congress is working night and day to reverse those regulations.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
