Co-founder Bridget Ziegler is embroiled in a sex scandal involving her husband, former Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, and parents are running brutal ads attacking her.

It’s actually way more of a sure thing than that, Trump winning in November pretty much signs the death warrant for virtually any climate change mitigation initiative. And while nuclear war is a very real possibility either way it’s clearly lower under the least impulsive of the two options

I think the US breaking its own oil production record was the death warrant.
