BUT: Not necessary because conversion losses don’t need to be replaced. 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. knowledge.energyinst.org/new-energy-w...

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

EU to Trump on tariffs: Go ahead, make our day.
The European Union said on Thursday it was ready to deploy its strongest trade weapon against the U.S. after President Donald Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs and scorned the EU as having been created to “screw” America.

Considering the role CNN played in getting him reelected, this is almost cathartic (if it wasn't so frightening and infuriating).
The Freedom of Information Act is an essential pillar of transparency and democratic accountability for the US government.
Eliminating the capacity to comply with laws in general, and FOIA specifically, is a ticking grenade under our democracy.

How Hitler seized power:
1. Create a crisis.
2. Demonize opponents.
3. Declare a state of emergency.
4. Undermine elections.
5. Make the rule of law irrelevant.
6. Rule by decree.
If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head.
