Brown University professor @timmonsroberts.bsky.social called the administration’s halt to five approved wind farms because of classified national security information ​“bonkers.”

“These claims aren’t new and they have been, in the past, shown to be quite baseless,” he told me.

Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.

Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Republicans and corporate democrats have sold the country, and their short sightedness means they've also eliminated their own source of profits.
