I'm guessing your friends in academia aren't women or people of color. Because those groups have been seeing his playbook prototyped in real time over the last two years under the guise of attacks on "DEI."

I've been dreading this decision the most since the beginning of the year. I seriously wonder how the court thinks they know better than federal experts with years of experience when they can't even tell the difference between nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxides.

No it's really not. It's mostly economics and a bit of technological limits. And we definitely, definitely don't want to curtail the oversight of the NRC. Speaking as a former Navy Nuke, an engineer, and an expert in energy policy.

South Carolina plantation owners specifically had slavers kidnap Mandi people from west Africa because they were known as skilled farmers who had been cultivating rice in such systems for centuries.
They also introduced barbecue sauce to the American south.

We really need to call these terror attacks what they are, and always have been.
The FBI and major media outlets may not be willing to call the Moore County power grid attack the act of domestic terror it so clearly is.
You know who is only too happy to call it terror and attempt to incite copycat violence, though?
Nazis on Telegram.

Trump refuses to say whether or not he'll accept the results of the election. Because he doesn't believe in democracy or free and fair elections. He's why the oath to join the military is to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Project 2025 has even worse things in store for what he'd do to the EPA if he ends up back in office. And that's not counting the executive orders Chevron and Exxon are writing for him to implement on day one if he returns to office. .

As a parent of two children adopted out of the foster care system, this is what I've been struggling to put into words for the last day.
Vance's comment that Americans "without children" don't have a stake in our country is sexist, disgusting and disparages the millions of adoptive and step-parents raising kids in loving homes. These include Vets that suffered war wounds that limited their reproductive choices.

The Trump tax cuts have spawned massive waves of stock buybacks by corporations who benefited from the $1.1 trillion cut. It's not benefiting American citizens, and is raising costs for the middle class.

While the transition to EVs is a positive for climate and the environment, we need to ensure workers are being protected as well.
BREAKING:

Those of us in the veteran community seem to be some of the only ones who have never forgotten, and will never forgive. There'd be more of us, but too many are still being lost thanks to his cuts to the VA system at the same time he started the wars.
