In the wake of the DOJ CPB closure, “… U.S. attorney’s offices throughout the country will likely be tasked with shouldering… enforcement responsibilities. This may lead to inconsistent or fragmented approaches regarding the FDCA and other consumer protection laws.”

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

At a presentation about my college thesis on public opinion of former presidents, I remember being asked who my favorite president was.

Jimmy Carter, I told them.

No.

For Christmas this year, I want an environmental rights amendment in Virginia. I will settle for one in Maryland if we can't swing VA.

Curious about bringing mass torts/environmental class actions and I'm wondering if plaintiffs lawyers hang out on bsky. Or at least, maybe Julia Roberts is on here somewhere...

Post office roofs without solar panels on them are a wasted opportunity to cut post office costs by making its own cheap clean power. Doge isn't real, but if it were, one would ask why are we wasting all this federal roof space and not getting paid by our frenemy (the sun)
