This right here cuts right to the chase on the Trump-Russia cyberwarfare thing: It’s so easy to decide that someone must be right because their arguments play into your biases. None of us are immune: it recently happened to me initially with Eric Garland, whose Twitter feed I still follow, but now with heavy doses […]
I’m back home in rural New York for a brief visit with my parents while Representative Jason Chaffetz is shaming poor people for spending too much on luxury items and not “investing in their healthcare.” “Maybe rather than getting that new iPhone” Americans “should invest in their own healthcare” – Rep.

This month Science published an optimistic article by Barak Obama about the momentum and economic viability of renewable energy. From the article: The United States is showing that GHG mitigation need […]
From the Washington Post yesterday: In a remarkable Tuesday night floor speech, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), the chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, praised the physical and mental powers of President Trump and encouraged people to get “unvarnished” news directly from the president, not from the news media. The author closes the […]
