Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.
TRUMP'S overall approval rating is 32% and falling.
1/ I emailed Dr. Tony Fauci today to tell him how disgusted and sad I was with the way he’s been treated. I told him he is a hero and has my support and my admiration.
Happy 24th birthday to our wonderful amazing son, Nicko. We are sooooo proud of you!!! Can’t believe 24 years have passed so fast!! Look forward to watching you keep contributing to our world which needs your young innovative mind soooo badly.
Some really encouraging Senate polls… 📍Georgia 🔵 Jon Ossoff: 56% 🔴 Mike Collins: 43% 📍North Carolina 🔵 Roy Cooper: 53% 🔴 Michael Whatley: 44% 📍Ohio 🔵 Sherrod Brown: 53% 🔴 Jon Husted: 45% 📍Iowa 🔵 Josh Turek: 50% 🔴 Ashley Hinson: 46% Keep organizing. Keep fighting.
They never measured the air. The filters were run at settings chosen for noise and comfort in communal rooms (low flow). They didn't even calculate room volumes — and no tracer, particle, or bioaerosol data confirms the intervention lowered airborne pathogen concentrations anywhere. 1/
Curious to hear what you think of this Kim @kprather.bsky.social ?

"What no one in this room wants to admit is Trump has helped all of you. He couldn’t sell steaks, vodka, water, college ties or Eric but he's helped you. He’s helped you sell your papers, your books & your TV. You helped create this monster & now you’re profiting off of him" Michelle Wolf #WHCD 2018
WTF @msnownews.bsky.social why are you supporting this?? You are complicit.
It would be great if San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria did this. We stand ready to help implement a plan for clean indoor air starting with South Bay schools where kids are being exposed to a toxic nerve gas, hydrogen sulfide, every day. The air can be so bad, the kids are not allowed to go out and play.

South Bay San Diego air is not getting cleaner....the figure below shows the annual average of H2S levels that have never fallen below the US EPA or OEHHA chronic standards. This is not OK....

Happy 4th of July everyone. Feeling a mixed emotions when I see our flag. Trying to remember to think of all the good before this current disaster. We can’t let them make us forget. Science, health, nature, humanity all need us more than ever right now. Enjoy today with friends and family!!!

We have gone so far backwards…such behavior has now been normalized. Sickening to the core.

Was the best day ever!! Thx @linseymarr.bsky.social for an amazing seminar and lunch @scrippsocean.bsky.social!!
I got to hang out with @rommieamaro.bsky.social and @kprather.bsky.social at UC San Diego! I met their students, who are doing amazing, high-impact work on atomistic modeling of SARS-CoV-2 in a respiratory droplet, and sea-spray aerosols and toxic gases near the border.
Extreme heat is no longer merely a short-term weather problem, but an economic shock. >30C, productivity drops by 3%/degree, energy costs rise 1.2%/degree, people work more slowly w/more mistakes, sick leave rises by 3.5% when T>30C, and by 6% during prolonged heatwaves. www.dw.com/en/climate-c...
