I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Didn't know I needed this until it started

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

This should be seen by as many people as possible #trumpthepopulist

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

The Trump Administration: Protecting Tesla dealers more fiercely than they protected the Capitol.

Pam Bondi: "If you're gonna touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out, because we're coming after you."

Wow, I am much more accepting of cursing and bringing children places than others.

Is it unacceptable to play music out loud in public? Or wear earbuds while talking to a shopkeeper? What about to bring a pet into a grocery store? @pewresearch.org has new data on what Americans think is unacceptable in public pewrsr.ch/43E03sH

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

To get on the wrong side of transgender activists by saying that they can't use public restrooms or receive necessary treatments means they will not be polite or short in their criticism of you.

Oh no, you have to hear criticism? And unsparing criticism at that? Oh no.

“A president’s job is to message and frame for the American people that they see their pain, they see a path forward, and I think we just didn’t have enough of that from the Biden administration.” Democrats need infrastructure to help message and frame issues and proposals. Cristina is spot on!

Doocy: We know that President Biden and VP Harris had a private lunch. How awkward was that?  KJP: I don't even understand. Why would it be awkward?

California must make it easier to build things — housing, clean energy, transit/rail, manufacturing, etc. California layers unending process on things we need. We get less as a result. We’re working to unwind this problem by streamlining permits. We’ve had success but much work remains.

Great analysis from one of the best in the business.

h/t Politicalwire Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors — a group that he joked included “98 percent of my Jewish friends” — that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, the Washington Post reports.

Trump said last night that it would’ve been “terrible” and “horrible” if he’d tried to have Hillary Clinton prosecuted after the 2016 election.   Which makes it all the more notable that Trump tried to have Hillary Clinton prosecuted after the 2016 election.

msnbc.comOn targeting Hillary Clinton, Trump rewrites recent historyDonald Trump now says it would’ve been “terrible” if he’d tried to prosecute Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election. But that's exactly what he did.

I’m not sure yet how disconcerted I am about it, but I otherwise agree with His Honor: This argument was basically an abstract law school seminar about the next ten presidential criminal immunity cases that the Court conceivably might—but probably never will—have to decide.

Bidenomics at work! “If you want a single number to capture America’s economic stature, here it is: This year, the U.S. will account for 26.3% of the global gross domestic product, the highest in almost two decades,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

The government has actually done something good that will save people time and money! The IRS's Direct File pilot is working really well and, if Republicans don't kill it, within five years the IRS could do your taxes for you. newrepublic.com/article/1804...

newrepublic.comDoing Your Taxes Sucks. The IRS Is Fixing That.The Inflation Reduction Act created a pilot program that’s finally given Americans a free and easy way to file their federal taxes with the government, and it’s getting rave reviews.
