She campaigned the most in Pennsylvania

God dammit. You were really an awesome part of this site and your specific voice on issues was both refreshing and immensely important. I’m really going to miss your writing.

You are fucking awesome, Lauren but that linked Hamilton Nolan rant is just fucking nonsense full of factual inaccuracies, and is nothing more than a diatribe against a made up conception of Obama that doesn’t exist.

He replaces her Senate seat.

In other words, I believe that if it comes to pass that Feinstein’s refusal to unass her seat results in a Dem policy, judge, or other Dem political project being thwarted—then *that* will be her legacy.

Yes it is Democratic women who are really the problem the fascists are doing what they do. /s

The point is if she retires Democrats completely lose the ability to move judges forward. It is the exact same process as putting a temporary replacement on on the committee. Unanimous consent or Manchin agreeing to change the rules.

No it isn’t

IF SHE RETIRES REPUBLICANS GET TO DECIDE IF SHE IS REPLACED ON THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE.

In some ways to me the waste problem is more difficult than getting to zero emissions. With zero emissions it is just about using clean alternatives, with waste there are no real good solutions for the massive amount of garbage we generate.

Curious if you found any analysis on the methane fee included in the IRA in relation to all this?

Thank you for the response! And I apologize because I was too flippant with my comment about “another Earther piece about CCS” comment, but my thinking was it is actually Earther’s excellent reporting on CCS that influences my views on CCS and a reason for my comment.

It isn’t that “class” is a pet issue. It is how it is talked about.

This is the right ruling. The CMA is a joke, and “cloud gaming monopoly” is so transparently made up as an arbitrary reason to block the acquisition, it was insulting for people to tell me it was some expertly reasoned conclusion.

It will

That has literally nothing to do with this ruling.

I don’t know, I think this is total misunderstanding of what is happening to write another Earther piece about how carbon capture is expensive, doesn’t work, etc. Which is fine, but totally irrelevant to the EPA ruling imo.

Creating plans that rely on technologies that haven’t been fully tested—and listening to Silicon Valley technocrats who keep making big promises and aren’t held to account when they don’t deliver—wastes valuable time, energy, and money that we could be spending on the clean energy technologies that we have today or…

Thank you for this piece

Democrats have spines. They also have facts on their side too like her resigning would be completely pointless if you care about confirming judges.
