Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

seems to me the basic error these centrists are making is that they are playing on enemy turf, rather than trying to raise the salience of issues that favor them
it's still wild to me that so many centrists want to triangulate on social issues when half the reason 2024 fundamentals were what they were was the economy

It’s almost as if effective advocacy and leadership, whether for good or evil, can shape public opinion, and it’s possible to work to frame issues instead of passively responding to the way the opposition frames them and accepting their characterization of what is “moderate.”
Rare for a public poll, we did a survey experiment to test whether priming respondents about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia impacts support for Trump's broader immigration agenda. It does. Support for blanket deportations fell 20 points after hearing about Garcia's case.

Something I hadn’t appreciated from the initial story is that Waltz adds Stephen Miller to the group *after* JD Vance had started questioning the plan and while Waltz is in the process of arguing back at him. It’s shortly after this that Miller swoops in with his reading of the president’s mood.

i think there's a linguistic slip happening that's important to understanding the appeal of trump to voters- the anonymous banker doesn't get to say those things, hence not using his name in the article, but trump does, hence the vicarious fantasy. my point is it makes it all way more pathetic
If you’re not afraid of getting canceled, you fucking coward, why didn’t you let them print your name?

Like if you had a guy come into your restaurant and say he’s he “piss king” and he’s here to “piss on the food” and that he “has a constitutional right to urinate”, that may well be true but it doesn’t have to be at your restaurant
