Internalizing false externalities. We've been paying for their waste. Now, they will take on some of that burden. Of course, they'll pass it back to us in the form of higher price, but that's what responsibility costs.

Instead of sending perfectly good products to landfills or burning them, companies must now donate, recycle, or repurpose them."

Shame! Forcing #Fauci, an honorable man who helped the world navigate #COVID, to #PleadTheFifth repeatedly to avoid inadvertently fueling a #WitchHunt tied to a #ConspiracyTheory. #RandPaul and his enablers are an embarrassment.

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

So we promised #Iran $300B to end the war. What do we have to show for it? Iran is richer and stronger. #America is more distrusted. The world economy is teetering. China's rise is accelerated. NATO is in tatters. We've lost much and gained nothing. #OpportunityCost

Harry Enten: Just 16% of Americans say UFC White House fights are appropriate. Even among Republicans, just 31%. 28% of Americans believe in telepathy.

Americans hate what’s happening today. And they should.

So, the "ballroom" is slated to cost $1B because it's actually a "Buck Rogers" dome of robot drones intended to protect the White House. The ,#AssholeInChief is building the "Bond-villian" lair he's always dreamed of. More to tear down when we erase his "legacy" from the D. C. landscape. #Resist

Remember when you first heard about a disease spreading from China? You didn't understand the implications. Then it just engulfed everyone and everything. This coverup is like that. The #EpsteinFiles must be really, really bad to fight so hard to hide what's inside. #Justice #EatTheRich
