Winning elections apparently means making#ClimateCrisis policies weaker 🤦🏻‍♀️. It shouldn’t.

“In a concession to automakers and labor unions, the Biden administration intends to relax elements of one of its most ambitious strategies to combat climate change, limits on tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles”

I agree with you in principle, but take the long view that another four year term, and more importantly, defeating the forces of fascism, makes some sacrifices necessary.

Short of Trump, and current murderous dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un, Musk is steadily, IMHO, making
himself one of the most

Georgia Congressman Casually Endorses Throwing Migrant From Helicopter 😶

And by referencing and his over the top cartel murder methods, Loudmouth Republican Representative Mike (GA) was “parroting a meme that’s been popular among & like the for the last 7 or so years.” Just buy HIM a ticket on Pinochet Air.

They're now saying out loud what they thought quietly in the past. Like we knew back from 2015, the orange turd has enabled these sick maggots (no offense to true maggots, still used in some medical procedures) to crawl out of the woodwork.

Dear pals, 1/

TY for kind words over my non-existent COVID.

I’ve used “via” since 2006, learned it from newsies, never had issue b4 this

I use it bc takes up no space. Even “ takes up space, esp on threads you seem to apprec.

  • time. When I post breaking news, even typing “ puts me behind while juggling coverage from multi-sources

  • bc of 20K followers, wading thru replies takes an hour+ every am. I won’t ignore your replies, as someone sugg. I read/care about them.

Hope that helps❤️

E Jean's lawyers are simply awesome.

👀 Via Klasfeld:

News

#EJeanCarroll's lead attorney threatened SANCTIONS against Trump lawyer Alina #Habba over her "utterly baseless" claim that a federal judge had an undisclosed conflict of interest. #legal #Trump

Habba's conflict claim is based entirely on a single-anon source story in NY Post.

Carroll's lawyer ques how the tabloid came to publish it & if the supposed partner at Paul Weiss — the firm where she and the judge both worked— "even exists."

Folks, remember when I tooted 2x that I won’t reply? I never do during live-posting but I’m also under the weather and barely made it through the closing statements.

I’m ok, spoke to dr, figuring out if this is a recurrence of intestinal thing that I had a few months ago. We’re on it. Meantime, if I perk up later, I’ll post again. Till then, thanks ahead of time for all the good wishes.

FYI- Habba being Habba, constantly f’ing up & slammed by judge.

Of note, via Inner City News:

Carroll's lawyer: Your Honor has ruled Mr. Trump cannot contradict the prior jury's finding. And we think it's appropriate for Ms. Habba to proffer what her client can testify.

Judge Kaplan: I'm planning on dealing with this. …

harryooman ,
@harryooman@newsie.social avatar

@GottaLaff
I so feel for Judge Kaplan in his probably uniquely challenging circumstances. I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the most obstreperous litigants I had in my two decades of adjudicating civil administrative law cases, which normally were tried in an hour or less, at most three sessions. I did receive a few threats over the years, including a veiled death threat from the owner of a clothing mill sweatshop (he wasn't prosecuted).

Trump jealous of Trudeau because he's 'younger and way better looking': Scaramucci

"Scaramucci also said that in contrast to Trump’s last term .... it’s likely the people who sign on to work in the White House during a possible second Trump presidency are limited to “Yosemite Sam,” “Bugs Bunny,” or “Mickey Mouse.”
