Floodgates Start To Open.  Not even the Rethugs can defend Trump hosting the G-7 at Doral. He may actually shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue just to see who sticks with him. Reminds me of a line from a Todd Rundgren song: “I only want to see if you’ll give up on me.”

‘Doomism’ Latest Enemy Of Climate Activism.  We’re not doomed, says climate scientist. The tools are at hand. Must just transition away from fossil fuels.

How Trump Appointees Bypassed EPA Staff To Target California.  Utter scum. The environment can’t afford four more years of Trump.

This Is A Quid Pro Quo. How a Ukrainian oligarch sought dirt on the Bidens to avoid extradition to the US for “bribing Indian officials in a scheme to corner the market on material for the Boeing 787 supply chain.” Great reporting from Talking Points Memo, featuring the scummy husband-and-wife team of (Delaware’s own!) Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing.

No ‘Deliberate Mishandling’ Of Clinton E-mails. Friday news dump from the State Department. Had the findings been any different, a Friday news dump would not have been in order, to put it mildly.

Contractor Wins DOD Bid, Donates Half A Mill To Trump Campaign Committee The Very Next Day. This America First PAC is neck-deep in sordid donations. And it’s helmed by Vince McMahon’s wife. Bizarro World is more normal than the life we’re living now.

Time To Stop Throwing State Money At Wesley College?  I think so. Propping up a losing investment makes no sense. But Dover area legislators continue to send state funds to this private institution, which then uses the money in ways that are different than what the legislature provided the money for.  Yes, this is a subscriber-only article, maybe you should subscribe.
