It is a good idea to give the minority leader more rights.
It is absurd how McConnell blocked bills & protected his colleagues from openly voting down popular bills. Or that in 2016-17 there were no investigations of Trump.
Let's do this in a bill that goes into effect in 2025.

I like the unity of implementing policies favored by over 70% of Americans. #2000Dollars #MinimumWage #UniversalHealthcare #RenewableEnergy
I dislike the unity of Republican & Democratic leaders bought by the same donors. #TaxCutsForDonors #DonorBailouts #ImpunityForTheRich

Excellent & timely tweet. A number I like to highlight to put "negative emissions" in perspective: Based on @IPCC_CH SR15 scenarios (ipcc.ch/sr15/), we are speaking here of at most 10% of present-day CO2 emissions. Only solution for the remaining 90% is going to zero.

Tl;dr on negative emissions:
🔬 Scientists say we “need” them because every bit of warming avoided matters.
🛑 This is not an excuse to delay cutting actual emissions as fast as possible.
🌲Trees are great, but have limits, risks, & drawbacks.
🏭 BECCS, DACC, etc:👇🏻

Jimmy Carter is right. Until Citizens United is overturned, the corporate oligarchy will maintain the power to block the policies favored by the majority of Americans – like raising the minimum wage, reversing climate change and securing Medicare for All. theintercept.com/2015/07/30/…

Trump looks down on the people he cons.
"his online followers watched with horror as his pardons that were supposed to go to allies & supporters instead went to people who were inherently swampy: white-collar criminals convicted of tax fraud, family friends, Steve Bannon" #Qanon

Hand up. 🙋
Who predicted before 2020 that this sentence would ever be written?
"Elsewhere, #mainstream #MAGA voters ridiculed #QAnon groups’ unbending belief that #Trump was the savior"

Let's stabilize our democracies:
1. End high-frequency trading which feeds on the chaos of Trump & BJ. A small Tobin tax will end these useless funders of chaos.
2. End financial betting. The rich should not be given incentives to destroy societies. Destruction is easier. #Brexit

Trump allies are reportedly collecting fees from wealthy felons or their associates to push the White House for clemency or pardons. It's hard to describe just how corrupt that is.

Today I learned that AGU journal articles look pay-walled, but have a link to the free "author manuscript".
For example here halfway the grey info section on the right: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
I "complained" with @unpaywall that their plug-in send me back to the same page. 😎
