After Trump took a break from commander-in-chiefing for rounds of golf this weekend, he is only five away from having spent a full 365 days of his two terms on the course.

Can you imagine how many home solar panels could be installed in the U.S. with $2,000,000,000 a day that would make us substantially less dependent on oil

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

Plus he’s old and ignorant. Incapable of learning anything.

one of the earliest lessons in politics I learned as a kid from my parents was to always vote for a tax increase, because you're trading a dollar amount so small you probably won't notice in order to fund something important that benefits everybody. I wish that was how Democrats messaged this stuff!

Free message for Democrats on taxes: We will use them to improve people's lives instead of killing people for no reason.

An astounding statement from a federal judge about the executive branch, generally; the Justice Department, more particularly; and these subpoenas, specifically.

A graphic with a photo of Elon Musk. The text says, "Elon Musk's DOGE stole EVERYONE'S private Social Security data and took it to a private company. That's 350 million felonies."

It is a felony to steal someone’s private Social Security data and give it to a third party without consent.

Elon Musk's DOGE did that 350 million times.

350 MILLION FELONIES.

Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran.
Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes:

Donald Trump combining in one week the worst crises of the Jimmy Carter (oil prices/inflation), Reagan (Iran-Contra), HW Bush (massive deficit), Clinton (Epstein-related), George W. Bush (Iraq debacle) Barack Obama (Libya) & Biden (the economy is fine/doddering) presidencies is quite an achievement

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

I thought it was because we use a special blend during the winter to cut down on smog. It's worked. I can remember my chest hurting on the playground when I was a kid. My kids have heard of smog days but never experienced one.

I’m watching The Pitt, and it bothers me that they repeatedly show the doctors using hand sanitizer when they leave a room, but none of them wear a mask except for surgical procedures.

Pretty sure he will switch parties after the election, if he gets elected.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen, sitting alone on the surface of Mars.

It is 1991. I am 15 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2003. I am 27 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2026. I'm too old for this shit. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A | Fortune The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

Why isn't this a WAY bigger story? Planning to be retired in 2040? Or still alive and on Medicare any time after that? Good luck with your healthcare.

Electricity rates increased by 13% under Trump.

49 states and Washington, D.C. are already experiencing electricity and natural gas bill increases.
