#Donnie2Dolls idea of making things affordable? Block renewable energy projects, push unregulated AI and new data centers. #ArtOfTheFail
Folks in New England are waking up to temps below freezing. It's a reminder that winter brings times of greatest stress to the power grid.

Offshore wind farms could keep the lights when gas plants are underperforming. But Trump has prevented all but five projects from moving forward.

I'm seeing claims that progress was made at #COP30, but it really wasn't. Each passing year with no fossil fuel phaseout comes at great opportunity cost as we further burn through the vanishing carbon budget that remains for averting dangerous warming. See my commentary: michaelmann.net/bad-cop/

#Donnie2Dolls and the administration's lies in court just continue to roll on.
The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego.

Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.
Unpacked:
In Aug., Govt said if Abrego pled guilty he could go to Costa Rica, where he's okay with going. Abrego said no to plea. Govt now wants to send him to Liberia. Why not Costa Rica? Govt told judge Thurs that Costa Rica wouldn’t take him anymore. @mariasacchetti exposed them.

So we finally see how #Donnie2Dolls was saying he could end the Ukraine War. Apparently it is by surrendering Ukraine to Russia based on what is in the new peace plan, which was either written by Russia, or an incompetent person in the administration. #ArtOfTheFail

On the patently unlawful boat strikes

It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

WaPo's new revelations on firings or removals:

1) CIA General Counsel
2) NSC Legal Adviser
3) CIA Mission Center’s lawyer
🧵
White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

How are rural residents supposed to shop around for emergency care? What do they do when there's only one hospital for miles?
 
Especially when GOP Medicaid cuts are CLOSING those hospitals!
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.

Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?
