The United States was ready to run with the big dogs in the clean energy tech race, lots of good funding from Biden era. A whole industry with jobs and clean power, ready at the starting block. Then Trump cut the wires, raided the vault and sold us out to the AI tech lords. What a year. #EnergySky 🧪
Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

The wide ranging disclosures of documents involving Bill Clinton should put to rest any arguments by the DOJ that they can’t release docs involving people under investigation, since Clinton is one of the figures whom Bondi, kissing up to Trump, ordered be the subject of a new investigation.

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.
