Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.

Turning the military on citizens.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

What? me worry?
As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: 

-Sinking poll numbers
-A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Harmful trade wars 
-Unleashing the military on American soil
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

We must remain on high alert.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

And get the money out

Trump's crypto venture is fleecing his supporters.

80% of the new or small-time crypto investors in Trump’s coin have been hit with big losses.

Meanwhile, his team is making millions off the coin’s trading fees, which stay stable even when its value goes down.

It’s a grift.

Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race?

It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps. 

Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court.

Follow the money.

Elon Musk’s company is suing our state.

And now, he’s trying to buy Brad Schimel a seat on our Supreme Court to help his bottom line.

It’s corruption to the extreme.

Medicaid covers nearly half of all children born in the country and around two-thirds of nursing home care for seniors.

The Republican Party is voting today on a budget framework with will gut Medicaid to finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
