    I've had a like/hate relationship with Twitter, but it feels as if one of those emotions is growing stronger. So I'm glad that I have a Substack project, free for all to read (and very glad that some people pay the modest, voluntary fee to keep it going)

    A reminder that Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House roof. In the 1970s. Only to watch Ronald Reagan take them down.

    If I were Putin, I'd be a little worried that Trump thinks my invasion plan is "genius."

    An important moment: Christianity Today, the key evangelical magazine founded by Billy Graham, calls for Trump's impeachment, describing him as "a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused."

    I disagree with Liz Cheney about most things. But she was the 3rd ranking Republican in the House, and she sacrificed her career to take on Trumpism, and I respect that act immensely.

    When the attorney general threatened WaPo owner Katherine Graham that he’d put her ‘tit in a wringer’ if she published Watergate reporting, she didn’t blink Jeff Bezos, not so much

    Here's the captain of the Harvard football team saluting the students and alumni who disrupted the year's big game. He's a real leader and he and his teammates deserve everyone's gratitude

    Since the oil industry is running out of places to store their unwanted product...perhaps we should just keep it in the ground. Forever.

    An utterly crushing day for Big Oil 1) Chevron investors demand emission cuts 2) Dutch court tells Shell to cut emissions by half 3) Exxon shareholders buck the company and elect directors demanding climate action. Thanks to all who fight--you push long enough and dominoes tumble

    Joe Biden didn't skip the line to vote today. Instead he waited for 40 minutes. That's a useful message to send

    Manchin has taken more money from the fossil fuel industry than anyone else in DC And the return on that investment has been enormous. Big Oil got its money worth a thousand times over.
