Such useful information. Thank you! I was especially interested in the announcement of the 17 technical assistance centers at the EPA for Environmental Justice with the IRA funding. I immediately emailed members of our county Climate Change Advisory Committee

Well done, thanks Jessica. One small correction, in respect of Justin Jones' return to the TN House; only two of the protesters were expelled, the third, a white woman, was not, by a margin of one vote.

A gifted link(perhaps for reading tomorrow) as not to sway the mood from Sunday Extra, Extra💙

“Defeated on same-sex marriage, the religious right went searching for an issue that would re-energize supporters and donors. The campaign that followed has stunned political leaders across the spectrum.”

Yeah I’ll read it tomorrow but I can tell you that I do t think they’re getting what they want from it. It’s the “wedge issue” no one cares about --or no one aside from their nuttiest base.

If they hoped to get another abortion-like issue out of it I think they will be disappointed.

I adore these updates on the accomplishments. I have to gush for a moment. I was laughing so hard I had tears looking at the RuPublicans pics and reading the blurbs they typed up. As I went on, I just laughed more and more. Gee, I needed that! We all need a good laugh now and then.
