Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).
The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Again, just when you think they've gone low, they find a trapdoor
Republicans are actually lowering the age limit to buy guns to 18, even though 18 to 20-year-olds are FOUR TIMES more likely to commit gun homicides. This is craven.
Gov. Kim Reynolds signs law lowering Iowa age to own a handgun to 18
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law, which goes into effect July 1, to allow 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds to own and carry handguns.

Just a reminder that what he's talking about is the private information about every American and business, and there are laws against this access. "Transform the way the government works" by doing what? Targeting opponents? Microtargeting political ads so Republicans never lose?

It’s a huge mistake for Donald Trump to fire thousands of IRS workers while people are filing their taxes.
But don’t just take my word for it — seven former heads of the IRS, including Trump’s first term pick, are ringing the alarm bell.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.
