Even if Trump lies all the time, he has been very steady in his position on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine: 1. He has persistently supported Putin & Russia. 2. He has always blamed Ukraine & Zelensky, the victim. 3. He has never protested against Russia's terror bombing. /1

This is a very simple point that gets obscured, ignored or totally deleted in the debate around regulating energy construction, but it's extremely crucial. There is a new and phenomenal amount of gas trying to connect to the grid in the US kevinjkircher.com/what-energy-...

Not sure people realize how much gas-fired electricity generation US developers are planning to bring online. PJM's updated interconnection queue, for example, is 71% gas by capacity and 73% gas by likely energy generation. And this is *electricity*; the other 82% of final energy is ~all fossil.

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.

This is exactly why the damage being callously done to USA medicine, particularly to vaccines, by RFK Jr. and the incompetent administration are concerning to me and should be to all Americans.

The biggest difference between Donald Trump and Abdul El-Sayed is you don't find Abdul El-Sayed's name in the Epstein files.

when people say "do your own research" they generally mean "do not trust anyone with any relevant training or experience"

Earth is now warming faster than at any point in recorded geological history - around 10 times faster than the extreme warming event 56 million years ago and 20 times faster than at the end of the last ice age. We are almost certainly in a new extinction event.

2026 is on track to be the warmest (~35% chance) or second warmest (~63%) year on record, while 2027 is very likely (92% chance) to be the warmest on record on the back of a growing super El Niño event. For more, check out my new Carbon Brief State of the Climate Q2 update: www.carbonbrief.org/...

missed this informative article

Does anyone trust the FDA anymore? A post from food safety attorney Bill Marler on the ways the Trump administration handicapped the FDA and CDC and bungled the cyclospora outbreak. (And I will still not eat bagged salad from Taylor Farms).

I don’t even believe the blame game uninformed Americans are directing towards Canada. It’s the fossil fuels, stupid! The humanity supporting conditions on this planet require non-emitting energy sources. Build nuclear!

All latitude bands, except in the Antarctic, observed above average temperatures last month. Departures were largest around the edge of the Arctic Circle. [Plot shows zonal-mean surface air temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). Data from GISTEMPv4.]

Just listened to an interview with Sam Forstag who is running to represent Montana’s 1st Congressional District in the US House. What an excellent speaker! We need young blood in Congress. He’s in his 30s.

Face it. ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should. It is time to defund ICE! Repost if you agree #BlueCrew

Our society should really be grappling with the reality of consequences being experienced by the people of the world due to the relatively few victims of pleonexia, a new word to me. Thanks, David Lay Williams for “Elon Musk Confirms Ancient Concerns About the Superrich”.

What does the new OMB proposal mean for science? How can we STOP VOUGHT and SAVE SCIENCE together? All of these questions and more to be discussed at the Emergency Science Meeting on June 2nd, 4PM ET, hosted by Stand Up for Science! Register at the link in our bio, or go here: zurl.co/g3vTZ

The NYT left out a clarification. “Still, in his second term in office, Mr. Trump has profited from the presidency like never before”, meaning like No President Has Ever Before ! Think about it.

Given all that has happened with the warehouse initiative this spring, it's fascinating to revisit this ICE statement from early March, where they admitted the purpose of these facilities and alluded to rigorous due diligence. We also stopped seeing these economic impact figures soon after, too.

The nominal strategic purpose of the U.S. Navy is to ensure global freedom of navigation to guarantee stable global trade. It has not only not done that, the United States instigated the conflict which undid it. This is known in foreign policy analysis as a “whoopsie doodles.”

Genuine question: is there any way to understand the "pause" on Operation Freedom besides an unambiguous defeat for the US navy? I am actually shocked at how badly the US is losing this war.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.
