thinking about how, in the Russian history elective I took in HS, every time a tsar was facing domestic weakness the teacher would turn to the assembled students and ask "so what is it time for?" and we would chant "stunning territorial annexation!" and she would respond "well, DUH, girls"

You know a great way to drive up energy costs?

Have the government block energy projects that have already been under construction for years, forcing companies to take billion dollar losses while delivering no energy at all.

Trump Uses ‘National Security’ To Freeze Offshore Wind Work The administration has already lost once in court wielding the same argument against Revolution Wind.

Breaking news: Trump is citing “national security” to halt all active work on offshore wind projects

Five giant energy projects, countless jobs at risk

My story explains how the argument has legal weaknesses and comes from an anti-wind policy doc I reported in January

I am here for this sitting Congressman eviscerating a truly annoying pundit.

Trump moves to shut down Boulder climate research lab NCAR Federal lawmakers representing Colorado called the planned NCAR closure “deeply dangerous” and “blatantly retaliatory.”

Thomasina:

Valentine:
And everything is mixing the same way, all the time, irreversibly . . .

Septimus:

Excerpt from Tom Stoppard's 'Arcadia' (1/2):

Septimus:
So the Improved Newtonian Universe must cease and grow cold. Dear me.

Valentine:
The heat goes into the mix.

Thomasina:
Yes, we must hurry if we are going to dance.

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

To redeem the moral soul of our country, we need trials right up the full height of the command stack for this.

This is a good endorsement list which I'm proud to join as a former legislator.

I have confidence in Hannah's values and her proven record of policy accomplishments for the state. Maine will greatly benefit from her experience and leadership. Good things ahead on this course.
