Good question. How much would you have to pay to have somebody confess to a crime and be pardoned? Would they offer witness protection to get him/her out of public view (saying it was for his/her protection)? It would catch and kill the whole mystery.

I really did think red on the tie would complete it, one abrupt patch of color. Other detail not necessary. (But I’m an engineer, so my artistic advice is not worth much. ;)

She’s not there to answer truthfully. Her job is to supply MAGA and their echo chamber with what to believe and say about it.

This seems like something a country would do if it’s planning a ground attack like he’s been threatening.

Shows how electricity prices have changed since 1960, in both nominal (as they occurred) and inflation-adjusted. The rise since 2022 is evident, as is the mild upward trend following the Great Recession. Today's price is only a bit higher than its low point, inflation adjusted.

Year-over-year increase of 2% is not nothing, but it's not a sudden jump. A series of annual increases started in 2022 for US total, which is about when commercial sales began increasing post-Covid. Residential and Industrial sales are still barely growing, if at all.

A proper comparison of average residential rates, 12-months ended 9/25 with 12 months ended 9/24. I hate Trump and I hate to be a spoilsport, but I also hate statistics made alarmist by omitting context.
MO 2.0%
IA 0.9%
ND 0.7%
OK 3.7%
NJ 7.6%
NE 2.5%
MT 0.4%
WY 2.3%
US 2.3%
Sorry.

Looking at the source data (EIA-861-M), Reich's numbers appear to be comparing August '25 average residential rate with that of Jan '25. The states shown in his post have rates that vary seasonally, so he's comparing the summer rate with the winter rate. These "increases" happen every year.

Data are available only through maybe September, so if you’re comparing the last month with Jan, you could be comparing seasonal rates. The only valid comparison is 12-mo averages.

I think some may have burrowed in to federal jobs, no longer DOGE, perhaps, but working in agencies. They push “Don’t study it, just do it.” That can be dangerous at worst and inefficient at best.

Right. He had immunity for official acts and can pardon anybody who follows his orders. That’s the madness of our current situation brought to us by SCOTUS.
