Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Let's not forget that the only reason we're not talking about Boston @mayorwu.boston.gov's victory tonight is because she won her preliminary election so decisively that her billionaire heir opponent dropped out. ✊
Boston mayor Michelle Wu officially claims second term, cementing dominance in city - The Boston Globe
Mayor Michelle Wu ran unopposed, presiding unchallenged over Boston politics after a year in which it seemed her true political opposition was President Trump.

Trump finally fell through the floor that's been holding him up since May.
I know this sounds bizarre to people outside the MAGA bubble, but this is the *first time* some of his supporters are noticing how selfish Trump is. The ballroom may not "matter" but it does!
Everyone's getting sick of it.

To fight fascism, freeze the rent.
In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.
All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.
All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

Hi, I'm a freelance Democratic party strategist in your mentions. After we protect trans rights by banning them from sports, we should move on to protecting abortion rights by restricting bodily autonomy. Next, we'll reign in ICE by getting tough on the border.
