🤔 The Supreme Court had one job and one job only = PROTECT DEMOCRACY by preserving our Constitution through interpreting it justly, but they chose instead to protect only one political party and in doing so made one man a King and destroyed our entire country!

Modern factories do not lucratively employ half the men in the town straight out of high school to work an assembly line on union contracts. That was a weird blip in the 1950's when automation hadn't taken off yet and the US was the only country in the world whose factories weren't blown to shit.

Why would a book, especially one allegedly filled with stuff that's not true, merit a White House presidential briefing? Because it's all true, of course. All of it. And they know it, hence the panic. Every accusation is an admission.

If your focus is on changing the rules before an election, you’re only admitting that you know that you can’t win on your own merits.

Trump: “You have to respect the president. If you don’t respect the president, you’re going to have a problem.” Funny, I don’t recall this clown calling for the same considerations for Obama and Biden.

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

57 incarcerated people graduated from high school at Rikers Island today. Mayor Mamdani didn't just post about it, he showed up and spoke at their graduation. Because real leadership isn't only about punishment. It's about believing people can change.

Trump has never sued any of the many people who’ve called him a pedophile because, clearly, a lawyer has explained (1) how discovery works; and (2) how truth is an absolute defense in a defamation action.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Solar and wind now dominate global electricity generation. Worldwide, solar and wind power will each surpass nuclear in 2026. This surge has halted fossil fuel power generation rise, with renewables overtaking coal, supported by battery storage providing system flexibility at scale.

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

In a First for the U.S., Renewables Generate More Power Than Natural Gas
In March, for the first time, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the transition to clean power. However, rising power demand is complicating the shift away from fossil fuels by extending the lives of many aging coal power plants.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

South Australia leads with about 75% net variable renewable energy , often hitting 100% instantaneous, targeting 100% net by 2027. Queensland lags, with no recent exact percentage but policy shifts away from prior 70% by 2032 targets toward net-zero by 2050, relying more on coal extensions.
