It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Just FYI, @runforsomething.net is building the largest candidate pipeline in politics with nearly 250k people on our list considering a run for office - & our PAC is supporting nearly 300 state & local candidates in 2025 elections.

Our budget this year is about $7.5 million.

Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

Opinion | Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t Either.

Excited to announce this big show at Icehouse in Minneapolis on November 13.

America voluntarily destroyed itself in the dumbest way possible. It's so painful and also darkly comic. I mean, it's just remarkable how the most incompetent and reckless people were elected.

What else did people expect?

All of this could have been avoided.

Alas. We're in it, friends.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans.

He must resign.

Global solar deployment hit 380 GW in H1-2025 — 64% more than last year! It took until September to reach 350 GW in 2024. In 2025, we got there by June. This isn’t just a China story—it’s 🌍. Each year we add more, faster. No orange idiot or petrostate can stop exponential change. #EnergyTransition

I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?

100%, all of this. It's what we advise @runforsomething.net candidates to do (and with the exception of point 10, which wasn't relevant, is basically what Zohran did in NYC.)

How has democratic erosion harmed businesses? | Brookings Vanessa Williamson and Ellis Chen describe the economic consequences of recent democratic erosion on seven types of businesses.

Unilateral tariffs, destruction of public data, cuts to science funding, collapsing tourism... I wrote up a brief compendium of (some of) the damage to business that has resulted from rising authoritarianism in the United States this year:

Renewables + batteries are flipping the grid at breakneck speed ⚡ Faster than any shift in human history—wood→coal took centuries, coal→oil took decades. Solar, wind & storage? One decade. Disruption compounding, fossil grids collapsing. The electron age is here. 🔋🌞🌬️ #EV #BESS #Renewables #Lithium

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮

Here’s a poster so people can tell who’s who.

Heat pumps can help clean up factories — and save lives Americans could save $1.1 trillion in public health costs by replacing thousands of industrial boilers that burn gas, oil, and other fuels nationwide.

New study calculates US could save $1.1T in public health costs by replacing 33k industrial boilers that burn fossil fuels with heat pumps

Would save $1.1T in public health costs
Prevent 77k premature deaths and 33M asthma attacks
And slash CO2 emissions

In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided

On December 14, 2012, a mass shooter murdered 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.

Four days later, evangelical author James Dobson claimed the mass shooting was God's retribution for abortion and gay marriage.

He died today at 89.

Doesn’t it look really strange that Tulsi Gabbard cut 50% of ODNI within a week of Putin being inside the Beast?

Tremendous crossover move right here:

Federal Judge Orders ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ To Be Shut Down Within 60 Days—No New Detainees The ruling sided with environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe, who had filed a suit alleging that the facility built in the Florida Everglades violated federal environmental laws.

Mike Collins is an idiot. There are 55M people in the world with US Visas. They’re not all here at once. There are about 185 types of visas and in FY2019 there were 3.2M people here on temporary visas.

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.
