“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.” FDR
Ohio has become a hotspot for anti-clean-energy rules (and stupidity). As of this fall, more than three dozen counties in the state have outlawed utility-scale solar in at least one of their townships.

This Ohio county banned commercial wind and solar. Not so fast, residents said.
The state, shockingly, lets local officials block renewables projects—but not fossil-fuel ones.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it:

I keep hearing Trump and Republicans say rising health care costs isn’t an urgent problem, but take a look at the price increases on the ACA exchange for the same insurance plans from 2025 to 2026. Millions of Americans are about to get screwed over with higher bills.

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

Federal workers have worked without pay for a month. Rent and other bills are due. Insurance costs are about to double. Construction jobs are being cut.

President Trump: stop inflicting pain on workers.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.
