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

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

They're a perfect instrument for mocking, they're just not very loud.

Tuba is almost bigger than me, so maybe not practical. Vuvuzela? Kazoo with an amplifier? 😁

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"?

Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

I think Democrats need to make it more obvious that some nebulous thing called the United States didn't bail out Argentina, but I paid to do that, and my neighbor, and the lady down the street, and EVERY FUCKING AMERICAN bailed out Argentina without any say in it while we can't afford groceries.

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

The U.S. just bailed out Argentina, Treasury Secretary confirms

The US Treasury has finalized a $20 billion financial rescue of Argentina, including a currency swap arrangement with the country's central bank.

The Mark Bray situation is so completely fucked right now and if you're a journalist you need to start saying how it's fucked because you're fucking next. They won't stop at academics.

Important thread from Rep. Clyburn.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 15h

Many people have been asking why Obamacare/HealthCare.gov premiums will double on average next year.

Here's why: In 2021, Democrats voted to increase financial help for people buying health insurance through HealthCare.gov. In 2022, we extended this assistance through the end of 2025.

📣 Action alert!

Call @governor.ca.gov at (916) 445-2841 and urge him to sign #AB495, the Family Preparedness Plan!

This bill allows parents to name a trusted caregiver in case they’re detained — so children stay safe, loved, and out of foster care. 🫂

AB495 keeps families together!

Trump is literally trying to bully Norway into giving him a peace prize. Like, “or else.”

You really can’t make this stuff up.

If you feel like writing the Nobel folks a note to tell them how you feel about this you can do so at Nobelprize.org/contact have fun.
