Killing renewables is a big setback.
Two months after the Trump administration stripped "renewable energy" from NREL's name, the Colorado lab today laid off 134 workers "to adjust to existing and projected funding levels and alignment with DOE priorities."

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

“Every single hospital we called said she was not there,” said Sarah Sherman-Stokes, an attorney with the Boston University School of Law Immigrants Rights Clinic. “We’re pretty despairing.”
When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.
By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

Literally starting with trying to connect to the network straight out of the gate.
But, tempting as it was, I did not throw my laptop out the window, which I feel is quite an accomplishment.

Cutler ran as an independent which helped LePage win because he split votes on the left with the Dem.
Fast forward to him being arrested for having CSAM, child sexual abuse material. He only was sentenced to 9 months. This is the third time he has violated probation since September.

The idea of China's ultimate goal being the destruction of The Stanley Cup is so, so funny to me. Was there a three week tactical assault on the Vezina Trophy? Did they annex the Ted Lindsey Award? Oh God, sir, a second plane just hit the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl!
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

This drives me nuts: people saying we don't need to worry about Trump seizing ballots because it won't be close enough to matter. What timeline do these folks live in? Not just the last ten years, but the many times elections have turned out closer than expected? But yes, *the last 10 years.*
