Ralph Baric is the reason we had COVID vaccines in less than a year. He is an extraordinary, brilliant scientist. I cannot tally the value of his contributions to the field of virology & to humanity. Many people are alive today because of his work. I am privileged to have worked with and learned from him.

2015 forecasts vs reality, per UNEP's Emissions Gap Report 2026:
· Renewable capacity: 3x what was expected
· Solar: 7x
· Coal growth: 45% smaller
Despair has a lousy track record

It would have been the middle of the day in Melbourne when the news of Texas's election results broke.

Canada just lit up Niagara Falls Blue showing their solidarity with Democrats and it feels so good to know that they stand with us.

I trust you - the Hoosier voters - to have a more direct say in the biggest issues we’re facing. That's why I want to institute citizen-led ballot initiatives, because some of the folks in the statehouse are looking out for special interests, not your interests.

The area burning today in San Clemente received over 1.60" of rain 5 days ago. So why is it burning?
Answer: Highly invasive black mustard, a CA non-native.
It dies each summer, leaving dry, highly flammable kindling that rainfall cannot revive.
Remove and plant natives.

Yes and while you are at it @nytimes please do a story on American scientists who receive violent threats and legal thuggery on a daily basis, and your @nytopinion columns encouraging attacks on scientists with your fake opinion pieces on gain of function, lab leak Covid conspiracies, shameless
Serving in public office in the U.S. is dangerous. A new normal of violent threats is making it worse, dozens of elected officials told the New York Times. nyti.ms/3VHM0Az

Here's the question that everybody seems interested in asking. Why was a totally unqualified science denier appointed to the position of Director of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)?
"Dr. Wielicki is both scientifically and legally unqualified for the job"
Ranking Member Lofgren Urges Removal of Wielicki as Leader of Climate Research Office

This is the question nobody seems interested in asking.
For roughly 80 years, global annual CO₂ emissions have followed a remarkably persistent upward trajectory.
During that time we've had decades of climate-crisis warnings, international treaties, climate summits, emissions targets, carbon taxes, mandates, subsidies and enormous expenditures intended to reduce emissions.
And yet the global emissions curve still looks remarkably similar to the long-term trend.
So here's the question:
What exactly has all of this accomplished in terms of the stated goal... reducing global annual CO₂ emissions?

Don’t be fooled by misinformation. The Department of Homeland Security claimed 15,903 noncitizens were registered to vote in Nevada. It identified 185. Nevada checked. All 185 — citizens! Noncitizens? None. Get Registered. Cast Your Vote! VOTE411.org @LWV @LWVNevada

If you care about Republic, get ready to vote like pro-democracy folks are 10 points down. Take nothing for granted.

My early learning bill paid school readiness providers enough to keep their doors open and brought more low-income kids into free programs. I pushed Medicaid dental coverage until it passed. That's the record behind the agenda.

In 1952, a 22-year-old woman in a United States Army uniform was ordered to give up her bus seat in North Carolina. She refused, was arrested, and spent the night in a cell in that uniform.
Her name was Sarah Keys. She took it to the Interstate Commerce Commission and won — a ruling that banned segregation on interstate buses, issued six weeks before Rosa Parks sat down in Montgomery.
She was a private first class. She was on her way home to see her family.
