article.

We had a lot of billionaire backers; I wish some more of them had spoken out, especially Mike Bloomberg. It's water under the bridge now, but he really understood how to hit Rump where it hurt. When Asshole pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accords, Bloomberg flew to Paris and paid our funding commitments anyway. ($15 million if I recall). I've been wondering if he will bother with that again. But, unfortunately, he's rather quiet about what he does do.
