Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.
They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.
We must fight back.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Republicans are pulling the rug out from under the clean tech industry. The way to read the text is a full repeal of the tax credits. They’ve proposed shifting tax credit eligibility from when projects commences construction to when they’re operational. This will gut clean energy development.

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline.
That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production.
Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.
