The 'Center for Environmental Accountability' that got the EPA to reverse 2009's Endangerment Finding has no actual office space.

You see this sentiment via @hopiumchronicles.bsky.social, which has a huge grassroots across the U.S. & a following that is completely behind the Dems. Big tent. We all want more taxes on billionaires & more.

Connor Murphy was a good player. He was a great Chicagoan. Nobody did more work in the community, from delivering meals to hospitals during Covid to visiting hospitals and youth teams. Five-time King Clancy nominee for a reason. He'll be missed by reporters, teammates and a city he made his home.

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
