The human race is at its closest point yet to destroying itself, according to the reset of the ominous but symbolic "Doomsday Clock." The metaphorical clock now stands at 85 seconds to midnight after advancing four seconds since last year's reset. bit.ly/4k1EFUD

Also, the IRA had tons of highway-related projects! The idea that it was some sort of Trojan horse Green New Deal — which itself was full of kitchen-table-style jobs programs — is false and a creation of right-wing propaganda that lots of centrists either fell for or were totally willing to parrot.
Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross.
The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on — and they're popular!
The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.

The phrase "Trump administration plan to build dozens of new nuclear plants" should solicit hearty laughter from anyone familiar with the history of the nuclear industry, the fate of most recent nuclear plants, the honesty & competence of the Trump administration, or the meanings of words.

This detail from the WSJ’s new Trump-Epstein reporting also seems pretty bad www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
![The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/bafkreigzf4vcuypypy43c3cqqmp4amb4i6ubi5ap5mv2t2ymvzilcwjise@jpeg)
