🇨🇳 Every second, China bolts down ~100 solar panels. H1 2025: 67% of global solar already. And before decade’s end, China’s solar capacity ALONE will eclipse the whole US grid. The first true electrostate is here—rising at hyperscale, rewriting energy history in real time. ⚡☀️ #Solar #EV #Energy #BESS
This is progressive technology and aligns with futurism....Not Tesla nazi EV trash...

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case."
This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.
