National TV Dinner Day 9/10

I certainly remember these. Once when I was young, my father (who was really smart) put a TV dinner in the oven in the box! It burned a hole through the top of the box and smoke was billowing out of the oven.

On This Day

Who was a TV dinner kid? 🙋‍♀️

Good tweets and comments on the changes in the US between 9/11 and now

I recommend going to the tweet and reading the comments. I blame Trump, the Republican Party and right-wing media.

How has America changed in the last 20 years? After 3,000 people were killed on 9/11, Americans accepted some limits on their liberty to prevent it from ever happening again. (1/2)

The destruction and deaths from hurricane Ida support the consensus that climate change is making storms stronger (and droughts worse). We looked a the science behind that. https://t.co/uP4lVmJXsz pic.twitter.com/LOkh6vQNz3

Mainstream media, especially in NYC and DC hubs, need to start wrapping their heads around the fact that no matter how big the price tags for curbing or preparing for climate change, it’ll be far cheaper than NOT doing so. And frame stories accordingly.

The wealthiest 1% avoid $163 billion in taxes

I’m sure Republicans will try to block this. They’re not big on enforcing laws if it affects their rich donors.

It's time we crack down on wealthy and corporate tax cheats who get away with not paying what they owe. I'm pushing for increased IRS investment in the reconciliation bill to boost enforcement and bring in billions so we can invest in American families.https://t.co/MOQXNCjz79
