Trump’s fossil fuel corruption spree can’t stop the inevitable move to cleaner, less expensive energy: “Through November, 92% of new power capacity added to the grid in 2025 came in the form of solar, wind, or storage.” www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...
Chart: Clean energy remains dominant in the US — despite Trump
Trump spent much of 2025 boosting fossil fuels and blocking renewables, but 92% of new power additions through November were solar, wind, or batteries.

Connect the dots.
MAGA is pulling out all the stops to intimidate Judge Boasberg for looking into Bove contempt of court, which should disqualify him.
Two Trump judges delayed the contempt hearing long enough for Bove to get confirmed by obsequious Senate.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

If Trump supposedly “kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” the question then becomes, ‘what did he know, and how did he know it?’
