Senate GOP added provision that would not only ends subsidies for solar & wind, it makes nearly impossible any new development of the cheapest sources of electricity. That means higher prices for juice.

Unreal. The Trump administration is disappearing migrants to places that aren't even their origin countries, then refusing to say which countries they were sent to by claiming this is "classified," then refusing to say *why* the info is classified:

We all know it’s a bribe. The freight company spending $20 million admits it’s a bribe.
Everyone understands this, and yet no one is holding him accountable — especially his own party which claims to care about law and order.
