It’s an honor to accept the Olmsted Medal from the @landarchitects . Today, landscape architects play an important role in protecting our communities from higher temperatures, extreme weather events, & rising seas.
@GDElectricBoat ’s new $22 billion contract to build Virginia-class submarines, the largest in @USNavy history, will extend #RI ’s proud shipbuilding tradition at Quonset Point. I was pleased to meet President Kevin Graney & congratulate him personally. Keep up the good work!
This is how coasts crash comes: danger of sea level rise causes insurers to withdraw; mortgages won’t work without insurance, so 30-year mortgage lenders will withdraw.
Sellers now competing for cash buyers (or short-term loans), so prices fall; and away we go... Strap in.
Thank you to the first responders on the scene at Naval Air Station Pensacola, who acted quickly to secure the base and protect innocent lives. Congress ought to show the same urgency.
10 years ago, Trump & family signed on to a letter calling climate change “scientifically irrefutable” & “catastrophic & irreversible.” 3 years into his presidency, Trump has done the opposite of #ActOnClimate . So now we’re trying to communicate in a way we know he understands:

MUST WATCH: Republican asks one of ’s US District Judge nominees basic questions of law & he can’t answer a single one. Hoo-boy.
I don’t even know where to begin with ’s CEQ nominee Kathleen Hartnett White—she outright rejects basic science.

Soon, we will be voting on whether extreme @realDonaldTrump judicial nominee Steven Menashi deserves a lifetime seat on the federal bench. The problem is… he refused to answer ANY of our questions, Republicans and Democrats alike.
A Republican operative under multiple Presidents says: @realDonaldTrump is profoundly compromised, acting just as you would imagine a person with a disordered personality would .... a man who is deeply damaged, an emotional misfit.”
