And those in #Congress wonder why the political climate is as toxic as it's become. Then add the harm that #CitizensUnited has done on top of it . . .
"I’m used to mind-boggling numbers, and there are many of them in this report. Human beings have put about 1.6 trillion tons of carbon in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution — more than the weight of every living thing on Earth combined.
"The most surprising new finding in the Fifth National Climate Assessment is this: There has been genuine progress, too."

Maryanne Trump Barry has died.
She famously told her niece Mary Trump, that her younger brother had someone take his SATs for him, and she also said this: “It's the phoniness of it all. It's the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel.”

Far, far too late for this set of corrupt court jesters. They've been grifting for decades, and clowns like Thomas and Alito need to be investigated and prosecuted.

Just think of it -- things are so corrupt and backwards in Pennsylvania's #CentralBucksSchoolDistrict that accusations of discrimination against #LGBTQ students have also led to an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Education.
So, tell me: Where does the crazy stop?

To say he cares a whiff about his employees is an rampant over-exaggeration.

@Dashdrum Couldn't agree more. Double, TRIPLE down on education. (minus the theology nuts)
God knows we need it.
Called it after the first infraction. #JudgeEngoron needed to establish his authority right out of the gate following #Trump's initial threats, and he failed. Now 🍊 smells "weakness" from the bench, because he knows Engoron won't do anything about it, even after THREE VIOLATIONS of his gag order.
Grow a pair, judge, and throw that underdeveloped simian in jail.
Engoron simply doesn't have the balls to throw him in lockup overnight. You got no teeth, judge!
@nonayadambidnes Correct.
"And now, more than ever, the worst people have the greatest incentive to indulge their wretched and cynical impulses and to make it harder for everyone else to sort out what’s going on around the world.” -- David Moscrop
That idiot #Musk reformatted Twitter to enable and incentivize the worst people possible to make money off the worst, most destabilizing #disinformation to the point where users can't even tell what's true anymore.
#Twitter is dead. Bury it.
@COSOVerifications Thank you so much, COSO!

This guy has no business being in a position of leadership. A betrayal of trust and authority. The penalty isn't suspension, imo. He needs to be fired with prejudice.
The only thing I can think about is how many other students he's punished for personal, petty grievances.
