Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteriesβ€”three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

I wouldn’t post it if it was junk. This is good reporting led by two Black journalists. What I like here is by hearing from solid sources it sets out a clear path to addressing the concerns and garnering the level of Black support Mamdani needs.

Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

The Legacy of the Washing Machine Pilot Rest in peace, Mr. Lovell.

Over the last 20 years, looking at all vaccines administered domestically, there have been 9,933 actual vaccine injuries out of roughly 6.5 billion vaccines administered. That’s just 0.015 percent of all vaccines that result in injuries over 20 years. An estimate 4.2 million lives have been saved.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Attended a four hour safety training today that included active shooter scenarios acted out (that I opted out of). I cannot begin to explain the level of exhaustion of educators when it comes to this.

The astonishing thing about Watergate, in contrast to today, is how the President was actually shamed into leaving office.

Imagine that: shame.

The next time you hear conservatives use any of the following terms, ask for a definition.Β 

"Woke"
"DEI"
"Critical race theory"
"Socialism"Β 

They won't have any.

They just want to stoke culture wars to divert attention from economic looting and oligarchy.

NH has been overrun by a coalition of Evangelicals & libertarians: they've got Prager U in the public schools & *outlawed* local zoning requirements for churches. A 400-pew megachurch is going to be built in my back yard & it will destroy the fragile meadow/forest ecosystem: nothing the town can do.

"Strategic ambiguity"--that is the core tactic of protecting elites from accountability while they rip us off.

It's how Russian oligarchs have dodged sanctions for decades.

It's how the Trump family evaded ~$400m in federal taxes.

This is what wealth management school taught me: the shell game.

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirementβ€”they removed the age requirement. Now, at any ageβ€”you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.
