Democratic consultancy Precision Strategies, whose co-founders led the Kamala Harris campaign, acquired Republican firm Firehouse Strategies, whose co-founders led Marco Rubio's 2016 campaign, according to Politico Influence.
Harris' campaign did not close with an affordability message. "Oh well."

40% of US rail freight is also fossil fuels, mostly coal. Wind coal down and you free up a lot of rail resources! Some of which could be converted to fast electric passenger trains, which in countries with modern transport infrastructure are faster than air travel for most trips under 1000 miles.

Never say never, but I think it is unlikely that we can win this battle against Hochul this budget cycle/year. Beating my now-thru-June Assembly drum again:
What we need to do is focus on winning as many Assembly primaries as we can this year. Just 7+ wins could set us up for success next year.

Prediction markets, like crypto, like AI, are simply just another large-scale expression of COVID trauma among the mangerial class and now they're using them to turn a fucking war into a pyramid scheme they can scam each other into investing in.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

US electricity generation changes, 2024 β‘οΈ 2025:
Coal: β¬οΈ 67 TWh (13%)
Oil: β¬οΈ 2 TWh (19%)
Gas: β¬οΈ 41 TWh (-4%)
Nuclear: no change
Hydro: β¬οΈ 6 TWh (3%)
Other renewables: β¬οΈ 13 TWh (11%)
Total: β¬οΈ 47 TWh (2%)
Big story is coal generation rising A LOT (67 TWh, 5x renewable growth), mostly displacing gas.
Out of all this evil, it might be revealed: renewables make us (+ people in the Middle east) safer, are more price stable & (side-benefit) denies successive US presidents excuses to blow-up a region trying to recover from previous efforts to blow them up. Grim watching.
