OMG, he is so clearly coked up—what is even happening?!
(Also, when did his ears get so big? I’ve never noticed that before. They even distracted me from his obvious cocaine-related behaviors for a moment.)

During a press conference, Marco Rubio was unusually energized, restless, with rapid speech, visible agitation, dilated pupils, excessive sweating, jaw tension, frequent sniffing, and an intense emotional presentation reflected in rigid posture and exaggerated gestures. ❄️⛷️☃️

Squint real hard, and you might just see the “WTAF?!” word balloon that pops above Rep. Massie’s head right after Margaret Brennan finishes her question.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

The self-congratulatory tone of this press conference is astonishing. Law enforcement misidentified the initial suspect—again—then allowed the actual perpetrator to be completely in the wind for 48 hours, during which time he went on to kill again
Officials say the suspected Brown University shooter was also responsible for the killing of an MIT professor at his Massachusetts home this week. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4s2xLSq

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
