Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today. The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads: The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries, while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who support him. It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals, make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual bravery in the quest for justice.

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

Reporter: Why didn’t Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Nobel committee chair: We only give the award to people of courage and integrity.

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.

would retaliate against her

I have been criticised for being part of the Riyadh comedy festival. This is why I did it | Omid Djalili The headlines focus on money, but the gigs were great and I think there are different ways to achieve progress. Art, especially comedy, can be part of that, says stand-up comedian, Omid Djalili.

I don't think for me it is so much "criticism" as "if you were a comic I still listened to before you went this thing, that's not what you are anymore, so long and thanks but no thanks."

There are plenty of other funny people out there to listen to.

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Actor Robert De Niro stands indoors holding a black T-shirt stretched open in front of him. The shirt shows three stacked images and bold white text. Next to a Confederate flag it says “YOU LOST,” next to a Nazi flag it says “YOU LOST,” and next to a red “Make America Great Again” hat it says “YOU’RE NEXT.” The design contrasts past defeated authoritarian symbols with the contemporary MAGA movement.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Nazi hypocrisy, fascist stupidity, and Satanic evil aren’t mutually exclusive. They all kinda go hand in hand… and hoof.
