read this somewhere:

"the money spent going to war for oil could have been spent eliminating the need for oil."

SAVE Act wants everyone to get passports & birth certificates in order to vote. Passports & Birth Certificates are delivered by US mail…because US mail is trustworthy enough to deliver those. SAVE Act also wants to outlaw voting by US mail…because US mail is untrustworthy for votes?

SAVE Act is voter suppression by another name. And a poll tax. GOP can't win without banning some people from voting. Logic, ethics, & Justice have nothing to do w/SAVE Act. Stop pretending otherwise.

We already see this.
I'm part of an international team of water scientists giving lectures on freshwater to Chinese university students. The first class has 1,500 students and they expect 10,000 to take the course. 10,000!
Just on #water issues.

China could be the world’s biggest public funder of science within two years

Forecast by science-policy researchers raises questions about where the epicentre of global research will shift to in the coming decade.

Heatwave scorching US west ‘virtually impossible’ without climate crisis, say scientists

Unseasonably warm and even dangerous temperatures this week were up to 30F above average for the time of year

He doesn't think he needs Congress to do anything.

With a stroke of his pen, Trump made the oil flow on behalf of Sable Offshore 
— oil that hadn’t flowed for 10 years.

It began flowing from underwater oil wells located seven miles out to sea.

It flowed up to what used to be Exxon’s massive industrial plant along the Gaviota Coast.

And, ultimately, it flowed into two old pipelines that caused the 2015 massive oil disaster,
-- pipelines so corroded that Sable had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to patch them up in 188 places.

That’s a whole lot of Band-Aids.

Trump did for Sable what Sable could not, and would not, do for itself.

Get the necessary permits to restart the major integrated oil facility along the coast of Santa Barbara

 — a place, by the way, where residents have learned that when it comes to oil production, there’s no such thing as being too careful

Why Trump’s Order to Restart Oil Production Along Santa Barbara’s Coast May Not Be the Final Word

History shows that in California, the battle over Sable Offshore is still ongoing.

Oil Regulators Found Hundreds of Wells Violating Oklahoma Rules. Then They Ignored Their Findings.

Oklahoma took on an ambitious project to catalog all of the state’s injection wells, which shoot toxic waste generated by oil drilling back into the ground. Despite records showing risk of drinking water pollution, the state chose not to act.
