Basically, there's a right-wing push to stop requiring health insurance to cover preventative care.

Actually getting where we need to be means shutting down existing uses of fossil fuels, not just supplementing them.

The one book somebody has seen him read is an anthology of Hitler's speeches:

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

They're only making it quiet; the part that is going to place tens of thousands of people invested in the project into government if Trump is elected is still happening:

Another arm of the project, a personnel database of more than 20,000 applicants for potential political appointments should Trump be reelected, will remain in operation, people familiar with the matter said.

I don't believe any specific policy change which benefitted a broad swath of the public could have survived the current courts.

You can do more than that:

  • Check your registration. Do it now. Do it few more times between now and November.
  • Volunteer. There is nothing quite like talking to people.
  • Donate. Campaigns run on money, and Trump has been raising more than Biden.

It's also worth paying attention to races further down the ballot; There are lists of close house and close senate races as well as a ton of competitive seats in state legislatures.

"Soros" is mostly a way of saying "Jew" with plausible deniability. There are plenty of other ways to do that

At 80%, a lot of people who aren't conservatives are ill-informed.

We've been getting change; when the Democrats had a razor-thin majority in both houses of congress last session, we got meaningful climate legislation

A bunch of regulation has been layered on top of it to try and get additional emissions cuts.

It's not enough yet, but the operative word is yet. Put a bunch more Democrats into positions of power, and the US may actually do its part.

The state constitution has this in it:

The state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations.

This makes it possible to use state courts to force some level of environmental protection.

He didn't even go to a competent doctor for the Botox:

“[T]his expense was not reported to the FEC and was noted as ‘Botox’ in expense spreadsheets” turned over to investigators, it continues. The session took place at Mirza Aesthetics, a Manhattan medspa run by a doctor whose license was suspended in 2021 over breast and penile enhancements gone wrong.
