If you're a member of the federal government working on energy or climate (esp. at DOE, EPA, Treasury, or OMB), I'd love to talk to you -- on-the-record or off-, background, etc. I of course will honor requests for anonymity. I'm on Signal @lmj.5709.

(Please like/share, etc! #energysky)

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

"The thousands of DOE employees who exited the federal service amid the so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s sweep of the agency has resulted in the largest staffing drop-off in the agency’s history," reports @maeveallsup.bsky.social: www.latitudemedia.com/news/report-... 🔌💡

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

🧵
Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir
21 juillet 2025
L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024.
Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans.
Nous refusons de les voir mourir.
L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe.
Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias.
Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ».
Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères.
Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ».
Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%.
L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

SCOOP: Yesterday, Trump issued an ultimatum to the only 3 TVA board members he hasn't yet fired.

Fire the CEO or prepare to be fired.

The board balked.

But insiders suspect the president is angling to install an ally who could help revive privatization plans.

Q: "Does the president support this new measure in the big beautiful bill that would impose steep new taxes on new wind and solar projects?"

Leavitt: "I believe you're referring to the credits."

Q: "No, I'm talking about the new tax...to add 10-20% to any new solar projects."
