"However, ERCOT expects plenty of extra energy from solar power—more than 20 gigawatts—despite coal and natural gas power plant outages to keep the grid functioning during the uncharacteristically hot weather." - CHRON

Remember when Fox told us renewable crashed our grid during the freak snowstorm?

Propaganda in action.

Most news: Trump pushes reporter to agree that doctored photos are real. Dismisses economic concerns as "they'll be fine". Says that illegals have a different system, not due process. Claims Putin "wants peace".

Trump to Terry Moran: They’re giving you the big break of a lifetime. You’re doing the interview, I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that’s okay.

"We don't want people in the federal government who feel like it's their pet project to go persecute, you know, police departments based on statistical evidence..."

Oh yeah, you know, that woke, feelings-based "statistical evidence".

Hey, DOGE posers. Instead of accessing sensitive HR records pretending to do work, here's a real efficiency issue you could tackle.

This is JUST Alabama. Scammers are making off with hundreds of millions of taxpayers funded aid because of outdated technologies and an inability to act.
FOX10 Investigates: Over 27,000 people report stolen EBT funds, totaling over $10.2 million

Voucher programs are getting more and more scammed. First we give taxpayers dollars to schools with 0 government oversight (we don't even do that for FAFSA aid). Second, we pay FOR PROFIT companies to manage the payments. What??

Wait wait wait. So from DOGE's own lips, the northern CA water that Trump blamed CA for mismanaging was FEDERALLY owned, operated, and under maintenance?

Can we start blaming Trump for his made-up water shortages now?
Trump bashed California's water system. Then DOGE paid a visit.
Department of Government Efficiency officials toured a California water-pumping station.

I believed that Democrats were corrupted by our pay to play system. But Nick explains it's not the same kind of corruption.

Yes. This is the kind of going low I can get behind. "Blackmon told Newsweek that the bill is meant to 'point out the double standards in legislation.'"

It would be lovely if we could all just focus on common sense legislation, but since that's apparently not possible, let's slow them down.
