Still today, ICE is going door-to-door and asking people for their papers.

Naming what has happened is not inflammatory, because what has happened is terrible and should never happen in this country.

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

VOTE ALERT: Senate Majority Leader Thune says he'll bring the SAVE Act to a vote soon.

If passed, this bill would prevent 21 million Americans who don't have a passport or a birth certificate readily available from registering to vote.
Vote NO on the SAVE Act!
The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

We asked mayors and climate experts about how C40 helps protect the people and places we love, and what their hopes for future are.

Together with cities, we're advancing climate action around the world.

There are many ways to reduce demand at peak times: Improve energy efficiency, shift demand to off-peak times (for example, by precooling buildings before peaks and drifting through them), generate electricity at the point of demand, use batteries at the point of demand to shift load through time.

Making electricity affordable is fundamentally about making better use of the electrical infrastructure we have and avoiding buildout of new infrastructure where we can. The best way to do that is to reduce electricity demand at peak times, when wires and transformers get loaded nearly to capacity.

An important and underappreciated fact of electricity economics: The US average *wholesale* electricity price is ~5 c/kWh, or ~25% of the average *retail* price of ~19 c/kWh. The other ~75% of the electricity prices we pay is about poles, wires, transformers, generation capacity, and utility profit.
