Is President Trump mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein case files?

Yes. Official materials say President Trump's name appears in the released Epstein-related files. A mention is not proof of a crime.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

the plainly stated thesis of this article is that democratic voters disproportionate want and would benefit from a policy proposed by the party, and therefore they should not pursue that policy. apart from being tautological this is bizarre.

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

Private jets account for 16% of FAA operations but contribute just 0.6% of the taxes that fund it. Does that mean we should raise private jet taxes 25-fold to make up the difference? Why, yes, in fact Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Table: Private Air Travel Is a Carbon Bomb

Of the 3 quickest ways to travel from NYC to DC, private jets produce by far the most CO2 emissions per passenger. 

Rail - 5.2 kg per passenger or 14.3 g per passenger/km
Commercial air - 44.38 kg per passenger or 128.62 g per passenger/km
Private air - 538.5 kg per passenger or 1500 g per passenger/km

Yes! Image a future where parents put their kids in driverless cars to take them to school while they themselves get in different cars to go to work. Instead of one or two cars chaining trips, now you might have four separate cars making four separate trips. Would be a disaster at scale.

diesel is already at all-time highs, and a diesel export ban may bring some relief to diesel at the expense of gas prices- which could start to rise (as cutting output would hit gasoline hardest). if diesel exports get banned, gas prices could rise toward record levels.

banning diesel exports is unlikely to be successful in pushing diesel prices down aside from Gulf states, it will likely push refiners to cut production rates which could mean even higher gasoline prices as well. conventional wisdom that it’ll lower prices? it’s a trap.

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

you can just do things
In February, a company processing debit-card transactions for Polymarket's U.S. betting platform delivered some alarming news:
Fraudsters were flooding the app.
Users were linking stolen debit cards to Polymarket US accounts, then trying to use them to make wagers and withdraw the money into clean cards or accounts they controlled. Thieves tried to make off with at least $10 million.
At one point, the processor rejected as fraudulent more than 80% of the deposits it was handling, a rate that far exceeded industry standards of roughly 1%. Polymarket employees quickly raised their concerns with Chief Executive Shayne Coplan, according to people familiar with the events.
The compliance team, those people recalled, was floored by Coplan's response: Just keep growing and pay a fine if regulators ever find out.
Current and former employees said Coplan's reaction, which hasn't previously been reported, was characteristic of his plan for Polymarket-growth at all costs.
