Republicans literally can’t do anything about it except for talking.

So what’s the hold up then? Biden hates Palestine?

First of all, the group doesn’t do anything with Palestine, they demonstrated like a million others and the article heavily implies that that’s why they didn’t get money. I think that’s bullshit. If you know better, what’s the reason then?

I dig it, absolutely, just saw the date and was cognitively dissonanced :D

Wow you see his name and think he’s directly invovled?

HE. IS. NOT. Give it up.

Executive branch of the government runs the agency.

As someone who knows jack shit, that’s correct. What do you suppose “running the agency” entails? Buying pens and staplers? Noting who’s absent today? Sending out agency picnic invites? No. That is 100% not how it works at all. You’re VERY much mistaken.

And since you’re a leading academic in the field of civics education in the US, please enlighten us as to who holds the “purse strings” for the government agencies such as the EPA.

Yeah that picture wasn’t from 1989 tho 😆

A fair question.

Because it has zero to do with Biden. He’s not literally holding a giant bag of cash and personally handing it out to the head of each agency he granted it to in the first place.

It’s covered by the same sentence that said the EPA itself is holding up because they’re being stymied by republiQans.

I’d apprecaite it if the headlines could stop being terrifying. kthx.

Sure, everybody fell for sending half of their money to the defense contractors the first time. Why not again?

The pattern is that Western energy forecasters are continually surprised by how much energy people in developing countries will consume. As countries like Pakistan grow wealthier, their people are going to demand the same energy-dependent conveniences that people in wealthy countries already do — and our energy forecasts must reflect that reality or we’re going to keep getting it wrong.

That seems like whoever’s doing the number crunching is an idiot.

Well hopefully these two fine old gents will remain happy and healthy to a ripe old age. I certainly hope nothing terrible and swift befalls them. Yep.

I actually think they’re just shaking their heads while looking down.

Sometimes they take a big breath and then let it out real slow with their eyes real wide and looking around.

I don’t think both parties are the same, but I do think Democrats are complicit by failing to do anything substantial to prevent this slide into fascism

Wow. Tough room.

You’d have to get them to say that, though. And then they wouldn’t. Say that.

Why does your job exist? Why is it important? What does it look like when your job is done well? These are basic things that government workers should be occasionally telling the public, and they should certainly be telling the public loudly and clearly prior to a transition into lunacy.

If you think things aren’t going to be okay, get on national TV and say that.

That’s not how national tv works at the moment, but I’d like to see it do that.

In other news, science has indications the sun may be hot as a muthafucka.

This is The Order of Things

Indeed.

Sure - right-wing politics says more money for defense means less for unimportant social programs like health and education (and environment). Of course they are.
