Trump hurt farmers and everyone else and won't listen to anyone - he doesn't care. Trump will be blaming Democrats for his failures on the last day of his term if he lives that long.

Today on Volts: public EV charging isn't as fraught an experience as it was just a few years ago, but it's still not great. A new company - a collab among 8 major automakers - seeks to change that, with reliable, fast chargers accompanied by amenities. I talk with the CEO.

Can public EV chargers be as reliable as gas stations?

How did Denmark get from basically 0 to 80% new sale of EVs in 5 years? Here’s my slides from a recent presentation on what I think has been instrumental in achieving this.

What a fricking mess and now another Republican president started another war in the middle east for no good reason, and that war is also becoming an extremely expensive quagmire.

Trump is probably the only US president to so blatantly use his office to enrich himself. His corruption is right out in the open. He doesn't care, and neither do his supporters.

This should be criminal. This is something special that should be sacred to all of us, if only for the history and people it represents. Republican America destroys special places.

But far more important – the documents also hammer home why the mass piracy for training purposes is not “fair use” under copyright law. Again and again, OpenAI and Microsoft acknowledged they were using copyrighted books to create new works that would compete directly with the originals. (6/7)

When Biden tripped, the media replayed it, analyzed it, and talked about it for months. When Trump falls asleep in the Oval Office every day, networks don’t even cover it. It’s only on social media. Same presidency, very different media coverage.

Norway has solution to this actually, stay at home parents can get their share of the public daycare subsidy as cash, that way parents are not pushed one way or the other. the problem of course is virtually no one on the center or right actually gives a shit about parents

in reality Democrats are the only US party interested in child benefits. conservatives and centrists hate the welfare state, they think the working class must be forced to work by the threat of destitution. so every policy must have a work requirement, which is impossible for stay at home parents

Lost in the discourse about where Dems are is the fact Republicans know the anti-trans ads aren't helping them but, as Terry here openly admits, hurting trans people is all they have left. They'd use their dying breath to ruin one more trans kid's life.

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.
