Do you still think that subsidies for oil and gas include the unpriced externality of emissions?
If you work at @TheJusticeDept in any capacity and have concerns about a future Atty Gen. Gaetz, I'm on the DOJ beat. Please get in touch. Secure comms below. We protect our sources. Email: andy.kroll@propublica.org Phone/Signal: 202-215-6203
President-elect Trump just announced he plans to nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to be his Attorney General. (Statement below.) That’s gonna be a confirmation battle, to say the least.
Demanding Senate Republicans back Gaetz as attorney general and Hegseth as Defense Secretary is the 2024 version of forcing Sean Spicer to say it was the largest inauguration crowd ever. These aren't just appointments. They're loyalty tests. The absurdity is the point.

ProPublica's @eisingerj to his staff: "We face the biggest test of our professional lives. Now we get to see if we really meant it when we said we will hold power to account. Will we do so when our subjects have true power on their side and a willingness to use it? We may be…

High level understanding of our climate predicament....
Trump: "We don't have a global warming problem. They don't use that term anymore because as you can see, it's very cool out here today. Oh, they go crazy when I say-- it's not global warming because at certain points it starts to cool a bit, like now."
Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick in interview on CNN says after 2.5 hour talk with RFK Jr. he is convinced vaccines are causing autism. "Why do you think vaccines are safe?" he asks @kaitlancollins

Nice @BenMullin @katie_robertson scoop confirming that Bezos, not his executives, pulled the plug on the endorsement at the 11th hour nytimes.com/2024/10/27/bus…
In 1971, after the Justice Dept enjoined The NY Times from publishing the Pentagon Papers, my father gave them to the @washingtonpost It was ultimately the call of Katherine Graham, publisher/owner. She was warned that her paper’s survival was on the line. She didn’t blink.
Scoop: Washington Post editor at large Robert Kagan confirms to me that he resigned from the Post following today's decision not to endorse in the presidential race.
Opinion staff at WaPo are furious about the paper's endorsement decision. Several are contemplating what action to take, ranging from resigning, quitting the board, or a statement. "If you doin't have the balls to own a newspaper, don't," one Post opinion employee tells me.
Two more editorial board members at the Los Angeles Times stepped down after the paper’s owner, billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, blocked a planned endorsement of Kamala Harris for president trib.al/0suiw2I
On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.
New: We watched 20 Trump rallies. His racist, anti-immigrant messaging is getting darker. politi.co/3YmRShE via @politico
“If politicians had listened to scientists decades ago, and worked to gradually rein in fossil fuel pollution, the ocean wouldn’t be so boiling hot—and Hurricane Milton wouldn’t have had the fuel to balloon into such a monster storm,” writes @KBMcLeodFLA heated.world/p/milton-is-a-…
NEW @BW feature: "Who's Afraid of Lina Khan?" Based on conversations with 100 people - billionaires, service workers, agency heads, executives, VCs, senators, scholars, advocates, current/former FTC staff, & Khan herself, at HQ & on the road. Unpaywalled: bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Great piece on the role trade associations in the restaurant and hotel industries play opposing local and state #climate rules in the US. - excellent reporting @ben_elgin @business bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Gavin Newsom wants Californians to "take small actions" in their daily lives to fight climate change. So why is he vetoing bills that would help them go solar and install cleaner stoves? My latest Boiling Point column for @latimes: latimes.com/environment/ne…
