As a conservationist, personal sacrifice is the most impactful step in respect of green issues • Simply Turning OFF unnecessary power in #USA would save more MWs than all AltEnergy produced last year —— at ZERO cost • 24/7 Buildings/Storefronts/Roads etc #WasteNotWantNot

@GitaGopinath Yeah and ? You want to just put a woman at the table and pretend that solves something ? I would prefer that women be at the table - and there is always more we can do to ensure this - but mandating diversity is a large step in the wrong direction

A painting of the end of meritocracy: A meeting of the two largest economies and not one woman at the table.

@thomasjuneau LOL how was Biden’s performance in China? Oh wait he didn’t go because he couldn’t walk or talk. Yet $5 trillion was given away as patronage to democratic organizations, creating inflation from zero and raising the national debt for no productive reason. That makes sense.

Trump's performance in China has been a unique, extraordinary and embarrassing combination of weakness, obsequiousness, lack of preparation, amateurism, and incompetence. It just seems normal because we've become desensitized by the constant circus.

I’ve always been the one to refuse to shut our government down. It’s always wrong and a complete betrayal of our core responsibility. Now, we’ve made sure if that happens again, no Senator gets paid—the right move.

@DrNeilStone I think you need to check that number … you might be a bitter clinger to erroneous data … and many more than 20 million kids I’ve had their lives damaged by the school, shutdowns learning, etc. that continues to this day

The worst part of Covid was that 20 million people died

@SenatorSlotkin How many GOP reps are there in New England please?

The Supreme Court's recent decision on the Voting Rights Act is supercharging President Trump's effort to redraw districts and try to create a permanent Republican majority. We must ban partisan gerrymandering and restore the Voting Rights Act.

@NickKristof If you simply fabricate information, does that make you a liar? Does it make it harder to go home to your family at night and credibly represent anything to them?

My new column: Would You Hire Brett Kavanaugh??? nyti.ms/2QhOXAN Read!

Brett Kavanaugh, a man in his 50s, had been valedictorian of his high school, at Yale College and a star student at Yale Law, had clerked for the Supreme Court, had a top career as an appellate lawyer and federal judge and a pristine reputation, and then a random woman from the town he grew up in claimed he had groped her at a party 35 years earlier when they were in high school. Kavanaugh didn’t try to argue that the incident was consensual. He didn’t claim he remembered things differently than she did. He immediately stated that he had never even met the accuser. Denying ever meeting the accuser is a much stronger claim than merely denying assaulting her, and much easier to refute. After Kavanaugh made this denial, Christine Blasey-Ford no longer had to prove he had sexually assaulted her to scuttle his nomination, she only had to prove that the two of them had attended a party together at which such an assault might have occurred. She was unable to do so. She did not know whose house the alleged assault occurred at. None of the people she claimed attended the party corroborated any aspect of her account. Leland Keyser, a friend of Blasey-Ford’s, who the accuser claimed was at the alleged party, said she recalled no such event and had never met Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh produced a detailed calendar he had kept during the summer Blasey-Ford alleged she was assaulted, which included his whereabouts of every weekend night and listing who he was with. Kavanaugh argued that he could alibi himself and provide witnesses for any night Blasey-Ford claimed she might have been at a party with him. Blasey-Ford responded that she did not know the date of her assault and was not entirely certain it even occurred that year. Instead of being seen as persuasive, Kavanaugh’s calendar was mocked in both mainstream and social media because the reason he kept it was for a drinking contest he was having with his friends. Nearly a decade later, there is still not a single shred of proof or a single witness who will corroborate the claim that Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey-Ford were ever in the same room before she testified at his confirmation hearing. Nonetheless, people like Nick Kristof still claim Kavanaugh was “credibly accused” of sexually assaulting this woman.

@AndyKimNJ @nerfherder73 So you are advocating racism?

In this clip, Speaker Johnson says maps that gave Black voters representation "divided Americans." This is the exact language used by segregationists and opponents of the Civil Rights movement to attack figures like MLK. They are using the same playbook to destroy his legacy.

@AOC @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastieNY @NYCMayor What would the deficit be if you eliminated patronage, fraud and outright graft ? What would your district income per capita look like if you had not blocked the Amazon jobs. Please name a single accomplishment. A single program that has actually IMPROVED lives

A triumphant accomplishment and a demonstration of what we can accomplish together. Thank you @GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, and @CarlHeastieNY for rising to the moment and to the visionary leadership of @NYCMayor who never gave up on a city that works for all New Yorkers.
