Just note that in 2024, voter turnout was 64.1% ... so fully ONE THIRD of registered US voters can't be bothered to vote .... even with early voting, mail-in voting, and same day voting.... compare that to say Germany who has 82% turnout on a single/ same-day vote. So stop complaining & just vote!!

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

California voters approve new US House map to boost Democrats in 2026 California voters have approved a plan to overhaul the state’s congressional district boundaries, giving Democrats a boost in their bid to win the U.S. House majority next year

California's approval of a new congressional map will help determine which party wins control of the U.S. House in 2026 and, with it, the power to thwart or advance President Trump’s agenda.

Here's what to know:

Body cams apparently show Border Patrol agents joking about tossing tear gas at a nonviolent protest, with one agent saying "Hey, throw it [tear gas] for fun."

Agents then tried to drive away, but there was apparently so much tear gas they were overcome, couldn't drive, and had to leave on foot.

Louisiana β€” the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents β€” has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.

They’re pushing this fantasy about these being β€œDemocrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

β€’ "A year ago, we were a dead country." Not only did the US have the fastest-growing economy in the G7 in both 2023 and 2024, but the Economist magazine called it "the envy of the world."
β€’ "11,888 murderers were let into our country." Not only is this number inaccurate, but many of the non-citizens convicted of homicide either here or abroad came in during Trump's first term.

β€’ "[Biden] hardly went anywhere. Guy couldn't leave his bedroom." Not only did Joe Biden visit roughly as many countries in his term of office as Trump did in his first term, but Biden was the first US president to visit an active warzone - Ukraine - not under the control of US forces.

β€’ "I can't give them $1.5 trillion so that they can give welfare to people that came into our country illegally." The Trump/GOP claim that Democrats want to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants has been repeatedly debunked.

β€’ "One thing I can tell you, the 2020 election was rigged." It wasn't. The courts agreed.
β€’ "And a lotta people say when it's rigged you're allowed to do it again." A lot of people don't say this. The US Constitution doesn't, for sure.

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going.
