Hakeem Jeffries just left Delaney Hall & immediately said it should be shut down. Human beings, not criminals inside, treated cruelly, for no reason. The Trump regime is running a concentration camp it refuses to let anyone examine, & that refusal is the confession. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

reneweconomy.com.au/if-were-goin... “Coal and gas systems operate on a different physical logic… They produce waste continuously, every hour they run. Coal generation emits roughly 900 to 1,000 kg of CO2 per MWh, along with nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and fine particulates.”
reneweconomy.com.au
If we're going to hold an inquiry into the life cycle of solar, why not coal and gas?
Australia's solar waste investigation raises an interesting question of consistency. Where is the inquiry into mandatory 100% recycling of fossil fuel waste streams?

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

DOGE claims they have cut $130 billion, this is less than the $170 billion in unpaid taxes that millionaires/billionaires evade EACH YEAR. Biden reinstated the Non-Filer Program to collect these evaded taxes but Trump immediately shut it down. There have been 25K millionaire/billionaire non-filers since 2017.

Impact: 11,000 (2025); 20,000 (decade) from starvation/malnutrition
4. Healthcare (Global): DOGE Cut: Axed $8.5 billion in USAID health programs (vaccines, maternal care)
Impact: 15,000 (2025); 100,000 (decade) from disease/loss of care
5. Healthcare (U.S.): DOGE Cut: Cut 20,000 HHS jobs, $11 billion from state/local health budgets
Impact: 5,000 (2025); 25,000 (decade) from reduced services
6. Environmental Protections: DOGE Cut: Slashed thousands of EPA jobs, rolled back regulations Impact: 1,000 (2025); 10,000 (decade) from pollution deaths
7. Homelessness Assistance: DOGE Cut: Reduced VA housing aid, impacted HUD-VASH for 35,000+ veterans
Impact: 1,800 (2025); 18,000 (decade) from homelessness deaths
8. Pandemic Prevention: DOGE Cut: Cut $500 million USAID, $1 billion NIH/CDC pathogen research
