Look what I found: @NPR has the original FAQs on the #GreenNewDeal from @AOC including the "unwilling to work" provision and thing about... cows. The document IDs the author of the FAQs: "Saikat Chakrabarti" (@saikatc), @AOC's Chief of Staff.

Just this morning, @saikatc said on Twitter that "Some of these early drafts got leaked."
This could hardly be called a "leak" either:
For those interested, I had a good policy discussion with Saikat Chakrabarti (@saikatc) here:

1/ This is not quite true. The version sent to @NPR is *not* the same as the one posted to @AOC's House website as a blog post.
2/ The now-deleted version on the website, posted on February 5, said "for example, emissions from cows"...

3/ While the one sent to @NPR says... um... something different regarding cows...

1/ It is interesting... but:
"Boys should be powerful, furiously aggressive, and revered.
Girls should be pretty, happy, cherished and indulged.
That's the message American parents are sending with their baby name choices, based on [an] analysis of modern 'word names.'"
2/ New names exclusive to girls include Allure, Paradise, Pristine, Lace, Happiness, Couture, Heiress, Fantasia, Tulip, Gracious, and Gorgeous.

New names exclusive to boys include Savage, Clash, Diesel, Thunder, Champion, Almighty, Chaos, Trigger, Danger, Power, and Rage.
3/ Seems a little overboard to talk about "American parents are sending with their baby name choices" and then use those as your prime examples. Here are more:

@CillizzaCNN 1/ "...it does make for a very different situation than faces Kavanaugh." - yes, it's different because it's worse for Booker. Booker did it. Kavanaugh is accused.
@CillizzaCNN 2/ "Kavanaugh has never mentioned the alleged episode with Ford publicly before. (Kavanaugh and his defenders would insist that's because he didn't do it.)" It could also be... **because he didn't do it**.
@CillizzaCNN 3/"That's not the situation in which Kavanaugh finds himself. He has been nominated to a lifetime appointment on the most powerful court in the country." You seriously believe if it was proven later that he was guilty & lied that he would not be impeached?

Quick thread on why #GreenNewDeal is what the future of environmental politics has to look like (against skeptics who say it's immature to run together lefty economics concerns like distribution & social provision with environmental policy):
It's impossible to separate environmental from economic policy. There are 3K tons of infrastructure for every person. We live by a huge exoskeleton of energy systems, food systems, concrete & cable, etc. These are our species-metabolism, & w/them we shape the planet.
Therefore, any meaningful environmental policy has to be about the shape of the built environment: housing, energy, rural landscapes. Inevitably such policy will also be a choice over what kind of work is prized & financed (farming, ag labor, green retrofitting, etc.

"What are the specifics of that framework?
...a "10-year national mobilizations" toward accomplishing a series of goals..."

"So did the idea of a Green New Deal start with Ocasio-Cortez?
Not at all."

"So will it pass?
That looks unlikely."
n.pr/2RJxDVQ
"It's a nonbinding resolution, [] Even if it were to pass (more on the challenges to that below), it wouldn't itself create any new programs. Instead, it would potentially affirm the sense of the House that these things should be done in the coming years."
The framework introduced on Thursday.
apps.npr.org/documents/docu…

"In addition, the framework, as described in the legislation as well as a blog post — containing an updated version of "FAQs" provided to NPR .."

1. Green New Deal (GND) -- the most malodorous and putrid bombast of flatulence ever to have come out of sitting members of Congress. It's not a bill or a resolution. It's a sick parody compiled by a bunch of clueless and degenerate minds.
2. Allow me to show you what it says the government will provide in 10 years -- basically everything under the sun, but the best part is it will also provide economic security for anyone 'unwilling' to work. How frigging delicious is that!
3. Lest you think they didn't think of how to fund it. They did. It will be funded by Federal Reserve through Quantitative Easing.

I think there is an easier way to achieve all the goals even faster (of course the Left will get around to it in good time): Eliminate all people.

This morning, the office of @AOC and progressive Democrats released a now-deleted proposal of their socialist agenda for America known as the #GreenNewDeal. In case you missed it, here are some of the highlights:
In the #GreenNewDeal, Democrats would eliminate all air travel, which may make it difficult to get around both domestically and internationally. Although they did acknowledge they “aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows."
In the #GreenNewDeal, Democrats would provide a job for everyone in America, but they would also give money to those “unwilling to work.” Why take the job when staying home pays the bills?
