“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Trump let ACA subsidies expire and Speaker Johnson refused to act.
While Rs dragged their feet, Dems refused their effort to rip health care away from millions.
So we forced a vote by pressuring rank-and-file Rs, and passed a three-year extension to protect coverage.
Senate must finish the job.

Trump, Vance and Noem, by declaring that the ICE officer was justified in shooting Ms. Good, have polluted the credibility of the results of any investigation that may follow.
I think that was the point. Our government is the enemy of truth.

Our entire politics now is about our sundowning, failing, unpopular leader, whose powers are clearly ebbing, maniacally trying to find ways to restore his STRENGTH, POWER, and MANLINESS.
Like seizing Greenland; taking VZ’s oil; killing men in boats; terrorizing US cities; bombing other countries.

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:
When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

It's worth taking a moment to think about how, in an era of democratic recession & the growth of autocratic & oligarchic governance, many apologists for these developments invoke elitist justificatory discourses of 'meritocracy' & aristocracy—while the rulers they've empowered are dogshit stupid

Trump doesn't want regime change in Venezuela, just someone in the current regime who will give him the oil.
