Correction: the reconciliation bill is actually one massive gift to Big Oil, filled with giveaways and subsidies.

I’m sad to hear this. Rest in Peace, Pope Francis.
Pope Francis died on Monday at 88. His papacy promoted inclusivity, embracing survivors of sexual abuse by clergy members; LGBTQ Catholics; Muslim and Orthodox clerics; and leaders of developing nations, where he believed the church’s future was rooted.

Sen. Bernie Sanders highlighted a new analysis showing that the wealthiest 1% has extracted $79 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans since 1975. In 2023 alone, $3.9 trillion was redirected upward—enough to provide every U.S. worker with a $32,000 raise.

President Jimmy Carter was a servant leader in the best possible way.
A model of decency and humanity. A leader in word and deed. A champion for human rights whose legacy extended long past his presidency to his entire life - redefining what post-presidential service could achieve. A very good man.

I have zero patience for people complaining about subsidies for renewables. They are DWARFED by those for fossil fuels, per IMF below.
And I categorically disagree with those wanting to claim implicit subsidies aren’t subsidies. That’s utter nonsense.
~$42 trillion in FF subsidies 2025-2030.
