As coal fades, Australia looks to realize dream of 100% renewable… The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable. The work there could provide a road map for other…

"Australia doesn’t just excel at big renewables and big batteries. Four million homes produce rooftop solar; a few weeks ago, those households temporarily supplied 55% of demand on the National Electricity Market, Westerman said."

It’s no secret that the biggest losers in Republicans’ defunding of the ACA/Obamacare are their own constituents.

Red states have some of the highest enrollment and rely heavily on their subsidies and Medicaid expansion, so gutting it hits their own voters hardest.

The truth about the administration’s threat federal employees won’t get paid when shutdown ends. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Congress better hurry up and settle the shutdown before everyone figures out they’re nonessential personnel.

Nothing to see here

Absolutely insane that the President of the United States has sent militarized secret police to attack multiple American cities, all at the same time.

Russ Vought Is Going to Damage Trump Even More Than Elon Musk Did Americans, and even many Republicans in Congress, don’t like it when an unelected bureaucrat makes huge cuts to the government.

Trump has little to insulate him now. Vought is not some temporary White House employee who’s dabbling in the art of sabotaging the government before he returns to his “job” as the world’s richest man.

According to the president himself, he is the Grim Reaper personified. trib.al/gB4mfCg

California Representative Jay Obernolte warned that staying home would make it seem like Republicans were “prioritizing politics over government.”
“I think we’re gonna get to a point where it’s damaging to continue to keep the House out of session,” he said. /1

It's going to a take a positive vision to turn the page on Trumpism, but love of country and rejecting authoritarianism are the starting point and I am 100% there for it.

Ongoing protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies took a two-wheeled turn in Portland today, when hundreds of people — some fully or partially nude — gathered for what organizers dubbed an Emergency World Naked Bike Ride.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

I've often lamented that you need a scorecard to keep track of all of Trump 2.0's myriad lies, grifts and atrocities. Well, these folks have put one together.

Children deserve to feel safe at home & in school. This new bill I signed:

➡️ Bars childcare facilities & state preschools from collecting immigration info
➡️ Protects parents’ legal rights & kids’ security if separated
➡️ Ensures schools have safety plans in times of crisis

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)
