Clean energy is going to win. It's just a question of when.
Clean energy is still winning. These 10 charts prove it.
Solar and wind are beating new power demand, steelmaking is slowly getting off coal, and more clean energy victories are clear in these charts.

At the start of 2025, some people questioned whether the resistance was dead. They doubted that Trump’s authoritarian agenda would be met with defiance and backlash.

Christmas night of 1776, Washington brought 2400 men across the half-frozen Delaware river. It rained, hailed, and snowed, but they made it safely into New Jersey—perfectly positioned to take the enemy by surprise. Watch the clip from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

For anyone wondering: For my own family, this could mean the difference between $25,000 in healthcare expenses next year...or $40,000.
On January 6, the House will finally vote on whether to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits
We need FOUR Republicans to do the right thing and vote yes, and ideally more to put pressure on the Senate
If we succeed, millions will be saved from financial ruin. Let’s go!

NEW: The Guardian says a 2023 DOJ dump included an MCC-guard email confirming “It appeared [Epstein] mailed [a note] out [to Nassar] and it was returned back to him. I am not sure if I should open it or should we hand it over to anyone?” DOJ hasn’t explained how this was “faked.”

These declines are MASSIVE.
And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.
