President Biden's urge for global cooperation on climate at the #UNGA rings a little hollow when the US is still set to unleash a 'climate bomb' of fracked gas on countries around the world.

A new law in Maine aims to take the cost burden of recycling away from taxpayers to manufacturers. One environmental advocate said the change could be “transformative.” Many nations with similar laws have seen their recycling rates soar.

Saw this great tree up close once. It is magnificent. The walk to the tree was a moving experience. This is awful.
This is what dystopian climate breakdown looks like. The General Sherman is the World's largest tree. It has seen 100s of human generations come and go. Now wrapped in a blanket, in a fight for life, as protection from invading wildfires. Below is my recent visit for @CBSMornings

How many lawyers, accountants & lobbyists do you have? The wealthy and giant corporations deploy armies of them to avoid paying their fair share in taxes. We need to give the IRS the resources to catch wealthy and corporate tax cheats.

Large corporations avoid paying the taxes they owe under existing law because the IRS doesn't have the resources they need to crack down on them. I'm fighting to strengthen the IRS' ability to go after tax cheats, so we can invest more in helping families.
