ICE melting away after a little winter weather? Milder east coast locations such as Baltimore, Philly and NYC might want to keep an eye out.
On reports the thugs are leaving Chicago: may be true, may be misdirection. Yesterday, many exposed their faces for the first time for picture day, which felt like a farewell-to-all that flourish. But picture day also might have been to keep them off the street after the first blizzard. Stay woke.

All they need now are Chinese EVs and they can ditch Russian oil purchases. Which is why Hungarians won’t be able to buy EVs anytime soon. #Orban
A decade ago, solar power barely registered in Hungary’s electricity mix — just 0.2% of generation. Back then, nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.
Fast forward ten years and solar power now supplies around 1/4 of Hungary’s electricity — a remarkable transformation.

Hassett's invocation of the Laffer Curve should be your tipoff that this is ALL bullshit.
The best possible explanation for the $2000 tariff rebate idea is that Trump is trying to prep the political ground for losing at SCOTUS, ginning up backlash to his PROMISE to pay back the tariffs.

Epic 🧵 here by Tansy on the enshittification of Capitalism on both sides of the Atlantic. I would add indiscriminate layoffs of employees for “enhancing shareholder value” purposes, buybacks(used to be illegal in the US) and excessive stock option grants to c-suite critters as additional culprits.
Shittification and shareholder return
A rehash of an old thread
Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets
He had zero faith in merchants
And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline

Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.

Russian forces are exploiting heavy fog and poor weather to push light vehicles into southern Pokrovsk. Ukrainian sources confirm the conditions are hampering drone operations, making it harder to spot and strike Russian movements.

It seems to me there's a story to be told about the cave in how some of the furloughed worker unions came out to end the shutdown.
I see people trying to make a broad statement about how furloughed workers feel about the Democrats caving and I would remind you that there are about 3/4 of a million people furloughed and they're probably not going to be a unified front
