I am getting real sick and tired of people calling overworked and understaffed NONPROFIT environmental law firms rent-seeking
A good bill leaves everybody unhappy.
Lefties oppose BAAJA because it cuts off endless money/work for the serial litigant attorney class they're beholden to.
Conservatives oppose BAAJA because it forces transmission competition against the corrupt utilities they're beholden to.

"Clean energy" businesses that are pro-BAAJA want to build their things faster so they can make more money. I'm all for that. But like the Senator, I see the gas industry as the real winner: they'll build way faster, make even more money, and lock in their wins for decades.

Lawsuits have been the bulwark against Trump's lawless plans: oil projects in the Arctic, mega oil leases, Boundary Waters mines, pipeline-palooza, and, yes, detention facilities too. We got a blue wave. We can get a better deal.

Dating discourse is dominated by people who do a lot of dating which definitionally means they're failing at dating.

This is the third interview in a row where Colom has denied that Chuck Schumer recruited him. Yet establishment hacks keep pushing the same narrative to give Schumer credit for something Colom himself says didn’t happen.
THE PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI RECRUITED ME. YOU THINK I WAS LISTENING TO SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN BROOKLYN?
Symone Sanders asks, "So what exactly was Schumer's part in making this happen?"
Scott Colom: He did initially understand that our party has to look South for future leadership. I think that it's not accurate to say he recruited me, though.
The people of Mississippi recruited me.

Chuck Schumer is allowing Republicans to ram through a maximum number between now and January of LIFETIME FEDERAL JUDGES WHO HATE REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE, PRISONERS, CONSUMERS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND FAIR ELECTIONS because Schumer is a fucking dinosaur who does not understand the stakes
Our work through the holiday has resulted in Dems caving to expedited votes for constitutionalist judges for lifetime appointments today, with final votes Monday after time under the rules runs over the weekend.
Because we pressed forward, we will have advanced all outstanding judges ripe for confirmation reported out of the Judiciary Committee.
We can’t let up.
As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I will continue my work with the committee to expeditiously process the President’s nominees to the Senate floor.
I implore my colleagues to use every single day we have left in the majority to move these lifetime-appointed judges and core legislation across the finish line.

I was an early skeptic, in the @nybooks, of the ridiculous notion that Schumer should get credit for his alleged recruitment.

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

The "AOC for president" crowd need to watch more videos of AOC responding to difficult questions and realize that such a campaign would not go nearly as well in reality as it does in their fantasy
“AOC should run for president because her marginal utility in the House is very reduced. She’d be a slight optimizer in the Senate, but she could be a game changer for the entire country if she ran for and won the presidency,” @AdamGreen, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, told The Sun.
“My analogy is moving a queen to the center of the chessboard. It’s a power play. Your queen might be taken. Maybe she will lose the primary. But also, you’re putting yourself in a position to win.”

My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen.
Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure."
Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.
