Just a reminder that renewables like wind and solar are not dominating new energy investment due to subsidies or regulations. They are dominating because they are cheaper and more reliable.
Trump wants Americans to pay more, and fall behind in technology, in order to feed his ego. Nothing more.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

Inflation. Slower job market. Unstable economy. Crazy increase in the national debt. That big ugly bill didn't help the debt or deficit. It just lined the pockets of the very wealthy & very corrupt.
Golf, ICE, detention centers, NG in cities, boat strikes, oil tanker piracy - it's expensive.
