She gets a bail hearing

Not a bot — just a human who uses a mix of news searches and a curated social media feed, followed by methods like this to find gift links for material I find. I can also read fairly quickly, which lets me go through a lot of material.

That’s not legal. What’s much more likely is denying permits for onshore infrastructure which would support offshore oil drilling.

If I lived in a congressional district gerrymandered to be under Republican control, I’d vote for the less bad Republican in their primaries. Its a question of doing the best that you can, rather than waiting for the unattainable perfect candidate who agrees with you 100% on everything

Given which publication, just a pejorative

Here’s the thing: He’s way better than any plausible Republican. Work to get somebody better in the primaries, but vote for him in the general.

I suspect them of occasionally changing their own underwear

Other countries have pulled off the same. And they are in fact doing massive wind and solar deployments, so it makes sense

Theyre exempting the Atlantic side of Florida I think, but doing more on the gulf side

Me looking at cspan screenshot during the vote.

And there is no way Schumer wasn’t coordinating this; he held a caucus meeting right beforehand, and the Yea votes were all Democrats who have 4+ years to their next election

Schumer coordinated the Yes vote among Democrats

Calling Congress tends to result in a report from staff about constituent sentiment. It’s a meaningful thing which can sometimes shift things on the margin — it’s rarely enough on its own.

Hes not your enemy. If you’re a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.

He’s 78 years old. Decent chance hes in poor health. This is an opportunity to try and make a difference that he might not be able to make if he stays in office until he dies

I think a lot of people would be happy to return food to Trump after they’re done digesting it.

Sure, day 1 is ICE, but any meaningful success in attacking them will be followed by a military deployment

Main problem is that its very ineffective when the army is better trained and equipped than you are

No, its about being unwilling to build electric transmission to bring wind and solar power into NYC. This would avoid the need for gas-burning power plants to handle increased peak electric use as home heating shifts to heat pumps

Part of the plan was also offshore wind near NYC, but Trump blocked that for now
