The real winners of Trump’s attack on clean energy aren’t American

U.S. politics are undercutting clean energy at the same time economics are propelling it forward globally. Can the U.S. afford to sit this out?

I am not inured to deal making...thats how a relatively centrist country pushes forward...but there are rare political cycles where the incumbent can just go for it as Howard did, Whitlam did, Hawke/Keating...that time is now...Albo won't face a contest for at least multiple terms

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: This should not be happening, the shutdown is just going to drive everybody's approval rating that much lower.

Pamela Brown: You're putting the blame on the leadership of your party?

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.

Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."
