The recent historic fires in Tennessee are climate related. Why are Tennesseans still represented by deniers? Plus, our new boy-king’s assault on the truth is a strategy, not the random incoherencies of a damaged psyche. Listen in.

The reading list:

• TN fires 'unlike anything we've ever seen'Tennessee represented by climate deniers
• A Trumpian word salad in NYT interview. Open mind? Fugedaboudit
• Rules for surviving autocracy
• House Committee re-tweets Breitbart climate non-sense
• Trumps lies are an assault on democracy- Romm

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
