For decades, China’s emissions soared ever higher as its economy grew, burning extraordinary volumes of coal, oil, and natural gas.Now, for the first time, there’s been a shift: China’s greenhouse gas emissions have actually fallen even as energy demand went up.

Trump has damaged the US intelligence operation

A post and my replies. Why should anyone (except Putin) trust the US now?

The U.S. has—had—one of the top intelligence operations in the world. What a resource to make informed decisions. Yet we have an ignorant WH occupant who relies on fringe conspiracists to spread false information. What a danger. What an embarrassment. What a tragedy.

— Steven Beschloss (@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social) 2025-05-23T19:42:01.768Z

I assume other countries won’t want to share intelligence with the US since Trump has alienated our allies and sucked up to Putin.

I think Kristi Noem is a liar, not a dummy

Two BlueSky posts and my replies:

Sec. Noem oversees hundreds of thousands of employees across 10 agencies—many with the power to arrest citizens. She should understand what 'habeas corpus' means. The fact that she doesn’t is deeply concerning and raises serious questions: Does she know her job? Has she even read the Constitution?

— Sen. Cory Booker (@booker.senate.gov) 2025-05-21T23:28:54.187Z

I think she understands it and it lying. That’s what this administration does. She’s saying what they want it to mean and the MAGA cult will believe her. We know Republicans in Congress are too cowardly to correct her.

— Harris Levy (@harrislevy.bsky.social) 2025-05-21T23:32:20.167Z

Kristi Noem is painfully dumb

— Republicans Against Trumpism (@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social) 2025-05-20T15:13:58.538Z

I think Noem knows what habeas corpus means. I think she’s lying. Now the MAGA cult will believe her definition instead of the actual one. Republican politicians are too afraid of Trump to challenge the Trump definition.

Republicans believe misinformation on the COVID vaccine

40% of Republicans say the COVID-19 vaccine has probably or definitely killed more people than the COVID-19 virus.

Large majorities of the public are confident in the safety of vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella, the flu, and, among those ages 50 and up, pneumonia and shingles. Just over half have confidence in the safety of COVID-19 vaccines: on.kff.org/3Z2MaRG

In its official trending news section, X (formerly, Twitter) promoted a story with the headline “Iran Strikes Tel-Aviv with Heavy Missiles,” but it was fake — and it was created by X’s own AI chatbot, Grok.That was a year ago. And we thought that was bad.

AI itself is neither evil nor good. It’s a tool to use—and for some, to use against others. The peril comes when we accept information to feed our emotional reaction rather than our considered response. And that peril exists across the political spectrum. (Thread)www.axios.com/2025/05/14/m…
