There are now SIX, yes SIX, rooftop #solar installations on my boring, average city block on the middle of the northwest side of Chicago. I can walk to over a dozen solar rooftops in less than 5 minutes from my front door. It is an amazing time to be alive.

RFK Jr.’s junk science-ideology, raw politics & conspiracies have turned the CDC into an entity that no longer can be trusted on vaccines or autism.

This nurse from Maryland was on one of the recent flights to Ghana transferring third country nationals— under a still undisclosed agreement with the U.S.

Certainly, she is not “worst of the worst.” Certainly her treatment in Ghana does not reflect solidarity and concern with fellow West Africans.

RFK Jr. just changed the CDC website with his fictional anti-vax talking points — promoting the blatantly false claim that vaccines cause autism.

This is dangerous.

Parents, please trust your pediatricians, not RFK Jr., about getting your children vaccinated.

Abolish ICE, prosecute their agents.

So let me get this straight: The same Trump DOJ that labeled this woman a “domestic terrorist,” shot her five times, and smeared her across national security briefings… is now quietly trying to wipe the whole thing clean?

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Like clockwork. ⏰

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Ignore the performative, disingenuous cries of "antisemitism" Trump & GOP have so cynically used as a political shield. Look instead at what they're actually doing: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

According to people leading the government I guess it's OK to have a fcking nazi US Coast Guard now?!?!? What the hell?

6d Listen to this article Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses. About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church.

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too. "Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody," he said. "One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him." Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken. Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said.

“We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.”

Illinois sees record EV sales as Trump administration ends federal tax credits, but state goals still far off Illinois hit a record share of electric vehicle sales last quarter as federal tax credits ended, but the state remains far from Gov. JB Pritzker’s 2030 goal of 1 million EVs.

Congress & POTUS blowing up EV tax credits won't eliminate sales, but it's a headwind. IL is making sure the state EV rebate continues & necessary charging infrastructure continues to be built on the ground to be ready for the future as EV growth continues.
