“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

For years, President Trump has offered conspiracy theories and baseless charges to support his falsehood that the 2020 election was stolen from him. In the end, he was unable to prove his case.

Trump Promised Proof of Election Tampering. His Document Release Fell Far Short.
In the end, the documentary evidence that President Trump claimed would prove his case appeared bound to disappoint those who expected bombshell revelations.

For anyone who thinks increasing oil & gas production is the path to energy independence, you're dead wrong. While we continue to rely on fossil fuels, we're held hostage to global pricing. The real path to energy security is local production of renewables and grid-scale storage. #EnergyTransition

The main Russian oil tax is only paid on oil prices over $15. Oil at $60? Taxes paid on $45. Oil at $50? Taxes paid on $35. 17% lower price = 23% lower russian income. Squeezing russian oil profits is the most important thing. We need republicans to switch sides and start sanctioning tankers.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

One of the arguments neoliberals made about "free trade" in the late 1990s, was that it would reduce military conflict. I don't think that quite bore out the way they said, but it does strike me as true that destroying the US-China trade relationship WILL make military confrontation much more likely
