81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I can't believe I'm saying this but this Breitbart dude captures *a portion* of Mamdani's appeal in a way I haven't quite seen elsewhere.

That is the motive — moving ratepayer dollars by the billion to fossil fuel pockets, paying off the fossil fuel barons who spent so much money getting Trump elected. They hope you’ll blame your local utility, and not notice their scam. Wake up to it.

With cheaper solar and wind abundant, some of those expensive units would not be called up at all, and wouldn’t make money. So when Trump operatives put government’s heel on renewables, they deliberately drive up consumer prices.

This article overlooks how the grid works, and why electricity prices will keep going up. The grid price is usually set by the last unit called up, and they’re called up by cost. Solar and wind almost never set the grid price because they are low-cost to run.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

We have known what to do with men who would be king since the early days of the Roman Republic.
It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.
And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Beijing is selling clean energy to the world, Washington is pushing oil and gas. Both are driven by national security.

Robert Redford on Trump:
“Instead of a moral compass in the Oval Office, there’s a moral vacuum.
Instead of a president who says we’re all in it together, we have a president who’s in it for himself.
Instead of words that uplift and unite, we hear words that inflame and divide.”

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”
It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's blowing up the economy. He hasn't done squat to help the working class. The Epstein scandal haunts him.
He is a weak and failing president with his back against the wall.
Keep up the pressure.
