The Repo Market Has Started Pricing In Energy Transition Risks
For years, climate experts have insisted that markets will naturally push companies to take climate change more seriously as risks become more apparent. Fresh research indicates that borrowers are now starting to face a financial penalty for ignoring the dangers ahead.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

jd vance would sell his *own* children for a percocet if he thought it would get him closer to the presidency
NEW: JD Vance supported US strikes on Iran this week and reasoned that Trump had to enforce his own red line, per sources. It was a surprise role reversal for a politician who built his identity on opposing Middle East wars with a loose connection to core US interests

I genuinely think Xi and Chinese leadership have decided that Trump's political capital is spent. He's bleeding out and they're killing him. Americans are too dumb to see it bc they expect geopol rivals to scream loudly and call people names. Fascinating

“Trump invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president, stole a bunch of its oil, sold it, and stashed the money in banks in Qatar” is a stone-cold CLASSIC of this genre
The stuff in the GOP bill is some of the clearest ever examples of "if you explain what Republicans are doing in straightforward factual terms an otherwise under-informed normie will think you have entirely lost your mind and can't be trusted"
