The official response to those letters has been to ban crayons and paper in detention

Crimestop.

Welcome to the New York Times. They do a lot of good journalism, but have a different person from the one who wrote the article write the headline, precisely to enable this kind of thing.

Nope.

A few have faced professional consequences, but that’s it

Yeah, the oil and gas industry paid a billion-dollar bribe to block as much offshore wind as possible though; wind farms not under construction when Trump took power probably will not be built any time soon

If the above is not snark: then no, they don’t.

Not that the regime minds giving people cancer

Sadly, yes

Never done metal, but it looks like what people like for it is called a “fiber laser”

They seem to go for about $1400 but have not shopped around or tried to pick up a used one

A laser cutter could etch “TRAITOR” across his face in bulk

About 1/3 of the time. Its very random when it seems to matter

It is, but yet another thing where doing nothing was free.

He can read when he wants to. The problem is that Trump has only ever been seen to read one book:

Last April [Note: article published in 1990] perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”

“I don’t remember,” I said.

“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)

Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”

The scale of the science cuts doesn’t come near to paying for the war or the tax cuts for the rich. The US is borrowing huge amounts of money to cover both. While borrowing money can make sense, particularly when used to pay for research and infrastructure which will ultimately increase economic growth, this is at a scale which actually carries very real economic risks.

With the current Supreme Court, the law is whatever they make up.

A lot of other states, about half the country by population, follow the California vehicle emissions rules.

Because they desperately need any kind of materiel they can get, and they’re hoping not to be cut off

There’s a lot of evidence that it has not moved elsewhere. Let’s look at New York City for example: reducing car traffic inside the zone cut pollution outside the zone by reducing traffic there too

There are very narrow examples where what you describe isn’t impossible, but they tend to involve all-coal electric supply combined with first-generation electric vehicles. Eg: West Virginia 20 years ago.

They don’t care if there’s an attack on US soil; the Trump Regime is already bombing Iran.

Before we had evidence that Tomahawks were used, it could plausibly have been Israel, which is also bombing Iran.

Also caused a regional environmental crisis by bombing oil facilities. That’s likely to kill a huge number of civilians
