Trump take electricity
The problem is that Trump has exempted data center *computers* from tariffs, but has not exempted *the necessary power infrastructure* from tariffs
High tariffs on batteries, solar panels, transformers, & copper wire are turbocharging the electricity price pressures caused by AI

There have been some very scathing dissents over the years, but I can't think of one where the accusation is so bluntly made that the majority is a bunch of partisan hacks who are politically subservient to a president.
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

On the same day #NCLeg did the bidding of Duke Energy and axed our 2030 climate goal (which will result in higher electricity bills and less jobs*), Duke had the audacity to send out this email asking customers to pay $4/mo to help them purchase RECs (which don’t do much of anything). #ncpol

Really hoping we’re going to get primary challenges of these folks in NC. Voters elected enough Dems to the State House to sustain the Governor’s vetoes, but they refuse to stand up and fight. Another reason why so many are disillusioned with the Democratic party.
Four Democratic state reps in NC have sided with Republicans to override vetoes by Gov. Josh Stein on half a dozen bills, including one that rolls back a measure to fight climate change.
Their names:
• Cecil Brockman
• Carla Cunningham
• Nasif Majeed
• Shelley Willingham
