the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Trump appears to be openly considering ordering the construction of an imperial monument to his vanity as the gateway to this republic's most solemn national gravesite.

A thrill to be at @kstate.bsky.social tonight to hear a lecture by @yale.edu Professor Paul Kennedy about Eisenhower & the many facets of Allied success on D-Day.

This night reminded me why Director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library was my dream job…and why I’m so sad to be forced out of it.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

it's very bad that donald trump is forcing the DOJ to prosecute his political enemies

but it's good that he's chosen to start with incredibly weak cases against two people who have extensive resources and no intention of folding to him

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 15h

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
