The end of the internal combustion engine?
Sales of petrol and diesel cars in China peaked in 2017 and are now falling rapidly.
The shift to electric and low-carbon transport is well underway—and EV sales are rising fast.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

A massive country showing proof that lowering emissions and economic growth are inversely correlated! Very exciting!
This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Go California! That's an awesome accomplishment.
Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

The rich voted for Musk's $1trillion pay package. That's a million times a million. He'll be worth more than 178 out of 197 countries.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Exactly! I suggest donating money to food banks way more than giving food to them.
Reminder:
Food banks need money more than food!
They have access to buying things cheaper than you do, and they know what the community needs better than we do!

With SNAP benefits lapsing, it's even more important that those who can, contribute to food banks.
I decided to donate to Harvesters. They have only a 3% overhead and claim an efficiency of 2 meals per dollar donated.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.
Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has now featured THREE Category 5 monsters – Erin, Humberto and Melissa.
Melissa was a league of its own. At one point, maximum winds in the eyewall reached 185 mph – the equivalent of an EF4 tornado.
