"CRI seems to want to engage instead in a fantasy conversation where anti-Chinese nationalism can unite Americans to fight climate change — an all-form, no-content negative sum realpolitik that does little to address the real, compelling, and deeply political questions that the climate crisis poses."
excerpt from essay: "The initiatives proposed in the Climate Realism launch are the initiatives of giving up. Investing in resilience and adaptation is needed in any scenario, but tying this spending on adaptation to Trumpian notions of protecting our borders reeks of discredited lifeboat ethics, which only cares to save ourselves and leaves others to suffer for our sins. And while supporting next-generation technologies is an appropriate piece of the policy puzzle, they should be like the broccoli at a steakhouse: off to the side and mostly superfluous compared with the meat and potatoes of deployment and mitigation to decarbonize today."

screenshot of excerpt from politico playbook: "Quick recap: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is either a wronged Maryland father or an illegal alien and suspected MS-13 gang member, depending entirely on your politics. Either way, he definitely got mistakenly deported back to his native El Salvador last month in breach of a 2019 U.S. court ruling which said it was not safe for him to return. He’s currently locked away in CECOT, a notorious mega-prison known both for its 40,000-person capacity and its reputation for human rights abuses. The Trump administration says it’s now impossible to bring him back; their critics say that’s nonsense and it’s time to act."

axis newsletter screenshot: "A new nonprofit environmental organization launches today that boasts some big names and strange bedfellows. Why it matters: Nature is Nonpartisan intends to promote environmental policies that could be acceptable to a cross-section of the American people. This may include the White House at a time when President Trump has been dismantling numerous environmental protections. Zoom in: The group includes on its board former Sierra Club president Michael Brune, as well as David Bernhardt, who served as Interior Secretary in President Trump's first term. Also with the group is Jack Selby of Thiel Capital. The group's website promotes the slogan, "Make America Beautiful Again," or MABA. What we're watching: Policy specifics are light for now. The group's news release touts that it is "set to become the nation's most influential environmental organization by creating a large-scale, cross-partisan movement dedicated to practical, long-lasting solutions."
