Our future is imperiled, our economy is fragile, and frontline communities are vulnerable to major threats from rising sea levels to lead in our water. A #GreenNewDeal is a common sense, moral solution to fix these issues with the urgency they demand.

, you're so stupid. Sea level rise will mean my property value goes up as my home will then be waterfront. #GreenNewRawDeal

Solving #climatechange addresses so many issues: infrastructure, economy, #environmentaljustice, etc. Would love to get @senatemajldr to bring it up for a vote. That way we know who cares about the planet and people and who is still tied to fossil-fuel corps. #putapriceonit

There's literally not a single bit of your #GreenNewDeal that comes even remotely close to resembling "common sense." It's laughably ridiculous, dangerous, destructive, and radical.

The #Greennewdeal is needed. But it flows vast sums to VCs with no public oversight and you ID "frontline communities" -- ethnic, racial minorities, women, the disabled, rural folks, youth -- as "LEADING" the programs, while leaving out everyone. Thats unconstitutional. Comment?

& her MMT “economist” have a dirty little secret... Tax increases on ALL Americans paid for WW2. If they want to pay for catastrophic #GND like WW2 they’ll have to raise taxes on, not just the rich, but poor and middle class as well. Note: once rates go up, they stay up.

. I am all for balanced debate re climate change and/or other left of middle policies..but this AOC lady has all her cheese falling off the cracker. I. Have been watching you for years, I am surprised you would give any nod of approval to her over the top views.

I appreciate your insight. I’m very supportive of aggressive action to realign the course of climate change. Feelings on AOC aside, there is a lot of misinformation about GND. It is the best starting point I’ve seen and worth consideration, IMO. 😊🌎
