Folks better take this seriously. These are the ghouls who brought us our current reality: Project 2025.
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

GOP lawmakers OK measure to require hospitals to ask patients if they're here legally. Sen. Rogers says it's simply gathering data and won't affect whether they get care. But Dems argue some people may stay away - until they're REALLY sick and contagious. tucson.com/news/state-r...

Not seeing the correction here. “Stitt ‘incorrectly stated my position on the very exclusive Governors Annual Dinner and Meeting at the White House,’ Trump wrote, adding that invitations were sent “to ALL Governors, other than two, who I feel are not worthy of being there.”

I don't compare things to Nazi Germany lightly but here you go.
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

This is incredible. Like the previous few years, near all of the electricity capacity added to the grid was clean energy. The Inflation Reduction Act helped this - it made solar & wind cheaper but it also for the first time had a standalone incentive for grid storage. Look at the growth in storage!
Final EIA-860 is out, and 2025 really did it: 54 GW of new U.S. electric capacity, 96% clean. Solar again carries the offense, and we built more storage in 2025 than the cumulative total through 2023. More and more and more additions... but also record low retirements.
