Seeing reports on Twitter that SB253 passed the California state Assembly (it already passed the state Senate) and will be heading to Gov. Newsom's desk for a signature or veto.

If the governor signs the bill, it will require big corps to publish their greenhouse gas emissions, including scope 3.

Bill text is here: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB253

“Remember that Supreme Court case about the high school football coach in Washington who won his job back after he got fired for praying with football players? His name is Joe Kennedy, and this week he quit his hard-won job back after just one game.”

If the orange mobster wins it won't be because of 3rd parties and because of Cornel West. It'll be because the democratic party gave up on working people under Clinton and took the corporate money. Biden is a terrible candidate, look at the top leadership, it's like something out of King Lear.

Statements like this tell us that Biden is thinking about climate policy more than anything. Here's hoping we see another big decarbonization measure in the near future.

The Republican plan to impeach Pres. Biden with no evidence should not surprise anyone. Evidence isn’t required when the people being gaslit won’t demand it.

There’s no downside with their base.

Everyone else? The rest of us?

“They don’t care.”

Their plan is to tear it all down. To bring violence and despair to every corner of the States.

Both sides are *NOT* the same.
Vote against fascism while you can.

Or be prepared to live under it.

Where is that hundreds of billions dollars in corporate welfare to the military-industrial complex going? It certainly isn’t going to pay and benefits for the members and veterans of our armed services. It didn’t go into creating our own Starlink. We do however create a lot of expensive weapons the Pentagon doesn’t even ask for.

We need a fully accounting and audit of that money before we increase any more so-called “defense” spending.

GOP threat to impeach a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice is driven by fear of losing legislative edge

Everything wrong with #USpolitics in a single CNN moment.
- A federal government owned by or cowed by capricious far-right billionaires
- A corporate news media that says “let’s move on” instead of asking follow-up questions.

GOP callers to C-SPAN Washington Journal still say they want the 2020 election to be "audited", refusing to accept that election was the most audited in history and election results are always audited in close races. The point is that they believe what they want to believe, regardless of evidence. 1,000 audits, 1,000 investigations, would never convince them that Trump lost the election. They exist in an alternate reality created by Fox and other right wing media. #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics

Here is a great discussion on swing states in U.S. elections.

Here in Otero County NM, the GOP county commission listened to testimony by an "expert" who claimed that Dominion machines were hacked. His technique was to impress the commission with reams of technical jargon. I gave up listening to his bullshit after about 15 minutes, concluding that this "expert" was misleading them. The commissioners never grasped that the truth would have been revealed by simply releasing the results of the independent ballot recount. #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics #biglie

Here in Otero County NM, the home of infamous Couy Griffin, owner of Cowboys for Trump (who was removed from the county commission by a district judge) the county commission hired a pair of election deniers who brought an "expert" to testify how Dominion voting machines could be hacked. They scanned all the ballots with their own equipment, but would not reveal if there were any discrepancy between their own results and the official County results. #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics #biglie

On C-SPAN Washington Journal today during open phones, a GOP caller who believes the 2020 election was stolen, said that unless the voting machines and routers were subjected to a "forensic audit", "you're not going to prove to me any other way", even though most voting machines simply scan paper ballots. Clearly, the caller has no use for logic, for reason, for evidence, for proof, or for objectively established fact. In short, the caller is functionally psychotic. #cspanwj #USpolitics

When a GOP conspiracy monger asserted that January 6 was staged by Ray Epps, David Corn told him that he was sorry that he couldn't help him and felt sorry for him because the caller would not accept reality. Clearly, the caller illustrated the point of Corn's book, that the Republican Party is afflicted with mass psychosis: "A mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality." #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics

David Corn on C-SPAN Washington Journal this morning discussing how the Republican Party went crazy. When a GOP caller called the Trump-Russia scandal fake, he corrected him with proven facts and referred him to the Durham Report, the Mueller Report, and the Marco Rubio/Senate Intelligence Committee report, which all concluded Russia conducted unlawful activities which helped Trump. #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics
