What's the strategy for Maryland, given that in 2022 an 8-0 map got rejected in state court?

They're evil and think Americans are stupid. Too often, correctly.

I think they do. They're trying to appease a senile would-be tyrant whose advisors consist of full-throated fascists whose goal is a career in right-wing media.

It's not a problem unless we collectively agree that only Republican-appointed judges are legitimate members of the judiciary.

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.

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

The Washington Post is now worse than the New York Post. The latter at least has no pretense of an institution doing good journalism.

'...ballon, which the app interpreted alternately as “ball” or “mom.” ... “mom” didn’t work at all unless we’ve been looking at The Red Balloon wrong all these years.'

Hey, to be fair, "ballon" and "maman" kinda, sorta sound similar. Cut the AI a break! Maybe it uncovered a Freudian subtext.

I didn't know Edward Douglas fell in with that crew. I'd seen the name before and now it's another addition to the shitlist.

$10k for a level 2 charger? That's gotta be an outlier. 90% of the time, it will run in the range of $1500-2500.

If you have 60 votes to open the government and screw over federal employees, in defiance of an existing statute, you have 60 votes to change the statute itself.

Sure, anything terrible that you can imagine is a "big loophole" if you've got 60 votes in the Senate for it.

No. The statute itself would have to be rewritten.
