Once again, Horgan is attacking the doctor who accurately warned about RFK, specifically to defend the doctor who lied about RFK to elevate him to power. Just so we are all crystal clear about who he supports and who he loathes.

Today on Volts: Heat-pump water heaters use a fraction of the energy of the conventional kind, but they've often been bulky, loud, & a hassle to install. A company called Reservoir has made one that's smaller, quieter, & much smarter, installed in hours by their own plumbers. I talk with the CEO.

Skins vs. services: the National Design Studio is building a handful of attractive single page websites, but not fixing digital services that most of the public relies on when they interact with government. Skins is easy to do, but not very impactful.

This is very interesting. Two thoughts: 1. This will be challenged. I wouldn't be surprised if challenges succeed. 2. You should be able to make officials who violate your constitutional rights pay for it, and if nothing else, this bill highlights how difficult it is-particularly w/r/t the feds.

Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.

A small but essential improvement on federal impeachment is widely used in the states: if a lower house impeaches you, you are *suspended from office* until & unless the upper house acquits you. That's what happened w Paxton. It's the obvious way to handle credible allegations of official misconduct
