This article doesn’t make me angry or anything - this person is clearly trying to be constructive and has a point about the stickiness of climate policy once there are tangible benefits out there but the basis for IRA was the coalition that the author is imagining.

Every one of my Syrian and non-Syrian colleagues is aware of the huge risks surrounding the post-revolutionary order in Syria. But if everyone pre-emptively abandons hope then the world flees into paralysis that fails to encourage many hopeful trends that can be found too.
On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor the more than 2,400 servicemembers and civilians who were killed during the attack in 1941. The tragedy spurred so many courageous Americans into action in defense of our dearest freedoms – and we’re forever grateful for their bravery and sacrifice.

Akhil Amar, Tom Schmidt, and I have a piece in the Atlantic on why Trump + the GOP House cannot adjourn the Senate against its will in order to give Trump recess appointments. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
You cannot cut 2 trillion dollars from federal spending without doing terrible damage to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. You cannot raise tariffs without raising prices. The Republican plan is to take money from regular people and give it to the most profitable corporations on the planet.

Today on Volts: the insurance industry is the canary in the climate change coal mine. Now prices are rising, insurers are pulling out of whole states, & state budgets are straining to make up the difference. I talk with @kategordon.bsky.social about the whole mess. www.volts.wtf/p/climate-ch...
The Republican economic plan is inflationary. Massive tax cuts. Big tariffs. Exploding deficits. A lot of people voted for Trump because of inflation and when he drives up the cost of everything we must keep our message clean and simple.
