Excited to endorse along with several colleagues @jasonesteves.bsky.social for GA Governor.
I’ve worked with him and known him for many years- he’s smart and dedicated to good policy that will benefit families across the state.

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

If Donald Trump can’t be held criminally responsible for acts as president, like shredding the Constitution as he’s doing now, then how exactly are Democrats going to fight back when he continues to disobey court orders?

Something that didn’t get enough attention last week was that one-third of Tesla’s reported profits last quarter was unrealized gains on its bitcoin holdings.
Tesla sales are down 41 percent in Germany, *63 percent* in France.

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
