Pro-Coal, Anti-Diversity, a Question — and a Bonus! June 19, 2026 PRO-COAL With Trump paying $765 million more of your tax dollars to cancel yet 4 more wind projects, Paul Krugman affirms just how crushingly dumb this is. PRO-MEASELS Senator Michael Bennet v RFK, Jr. (36 seconds). (If you have time, the 2-minute version.) ANTI-DIVERSITY Oops, We Invited Nazis to Our Christian Nationalist Conference. Of special note today, Juneteenth. QUESTION At what point will Republicans in Congress recognize — and act on — the peril a continued Trump regime puts us in? My guess is: never. Which is why it’s so imperative to have a HUGE blue wave five months from now. And then to impeach and convict him, not least for failing to obey the law requiring release of the Epstein files. By January 2027, it’s conceivable that enough Republican senators would join the Democratic majority to reach the required two-thirds — the same two-thirds we would have had 5 years ago if then-majority leader Mitch McConnell hadn’t punted. Read his explanation here, in case you’ve forgotten how damning of Trump it was. BONUS!!! President Obama’s remarks at the opening of his Presidential Center. How I wish he — or anyone else on that stage, even, heaven protect us, Bush ’43 — were president today.
