Africa leads growth in solar energy as demand spreads beyond traditional markets, report says A report shows that Africa has emerged as the world's fastest-growing solar market even as global growth slowed last year, driven by a 60% surge in imports of solar panels from China.

Solar exploded across Africa in 2025:

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Trump administration fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video President Donald Trump had accused six Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" after they urged members of the military and intelligence communities to refuse unlawful orders.

Trump tried to throw Members of Congress in jail for reminding servicemembers they don't have to follow illegal orders. He is weaponizing the DOJ to silence dissent & not one Republican has stepped up to stop him. Thankfully, a grand jury rejected it. We will not be intimidated.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.

Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.

Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.

We know why.

Since 2021, China has added more power capacity than the US has built in its ENTIRE HISTORY. Read that again while we waste time debating "gas as a bridge" or waiting 20 years for 1 nuclear plant
>China just dropped 543GW in just ONE year
>China is building 6x more capacity than US over next 6 years

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too.

For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case…

Poland is crushing it with 160% growth in EV sales, and TΓΌrkiye just zoomed past Norway to become Europe’s #4 EV powerhouse! Diesel is also dying a deserved death -sales in TΓΌrkiye alone halved in 2 years

The "EV slowdown" is a myth peddled by fossil fuel dinosaurs

Historic: Renewables delivered 51% of electricity in Australia's National Energy Market System for 1st time ever, up from 46% in the previous 3 months

So many said it can't be done, or it's impossible to be done, or renewables are unreliable, and so on

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascismβ€”a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time.

This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping.

This is a man stepping in front of a brownshirt in defense of a woman - a concept that is abhorrent to ICE - with his phone in one hand, the other in the air, as he is pepper sprayed.

Not a threat. No attempt to assault or assassinate.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. Trump, Bondi, and Bovino are
