They're stopping wind and solar because the president is an idiot who doesn't understand how anything works, doesn't try to learn, and assumes he knows more than all the experts about almost everything that he knows nothing about.

Also because Big Oil gives him lots of money.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

"This is why young, progressive Democrats are frustrated with a Democratic leadership divorced from its moral compass."

A hell of a lot of us old progressives are frustrated AF too, you know.

Anyway... Another squishy Dem with big regrets -- and zero foresight:

“Democratic officials too often silence their own morals, preferring to stay quiet until popularity polls tell them how to feel.”

The beginning of the end of free press. Ellison is a maga billionaire trumper who will force CBS & subsidiaries to be proTrump. He is trying to buy WB who owns CNN so that will be next. NBC & MSNBC will be all that’s left that’s not proTrump & I imagine that won’t be able to hold the line for long.

Mike Johnson is falsely generalizing the “No Kings” protestors as extremists to justify crackdowns. The truth is, they’re patriots.

These protestors don’t “hate America.” They oppose an authoritarian president who tramples on the freedoms and principles America was founded on.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

As they are now adding 10,000 more "agents" (goons)

"We know what that kind of breakneck expansion of the workforce may result in because we’ve seen it before, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks: an explosion of corruption and misconduct."

The agency is on a hiring spree. But we know what that kind of breakneck expansion of the workforce can result in because we’ve seen it before.

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
