Pelosi: “Right now, the Republicans in the Congress have abolished the Congress — They just do what the president insists that they do. That will be over — That ends as soon as we have the gavel”

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

A quarter-century ago, the teams in the four major North American leagues were worth a collective $30 billion. Now, they’re valued at more than $500 billion—and one has seen appreciation of more than 6,400%.

2025 comes to an end.
It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics.
Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate.
Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
