Energy nerd guy here: the US grid is 99.99+% reliable. The best single power plant will have ~2 weeks a year of scheduled maintenance. That's 96% on line assuming nothing goes wrong. No single generator can meet the reliability of the grid. Every business knows this. TLDR: Trump is dumb.

Again, PLEASE order these COVID tests for you, your loved ones, your friends, your neighbors, and others you care about in your community. Please do not let these tests go to waste like the Hydroxychloroquine that Donald Trump stockpiled, caused a shortage and WASTED in 2020. These tests still WORK!

Speaker Mike Johnson is living in a house with a right-wing preacher, owned by a right-wing car dealer magnate who made his fourth wife watch films of him having sex with prostitutes to "train her." But Johnson avers he never talks policy with Pastor Berger, who has not registered as a lobbyist.

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

It was the allies of Putin—Trump and Vance—who melted down while a TASS reporter they invited into the Oval Office looked on to report back to the Kremlin.
