Re-reading the report of the Social Security whistleblower, it is striking how many times good people within SSA tried to keep DOGE from committing crimes.

Special concessions for Alasks
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the tax and spending bill to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue orders that she said seem designed to quash such projects.
Sen. Murkowski, feeling ‘cheated’ by Trump actions against wind and solar, says she’ll go to bat for Alaska projects
Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

EVs and building better cities will make the difference. Eyes on Paris the new walkable city.
Once you see it, you can't unsee forced car dependency.

Cars have degraded our entire economy, environment, culture, and lives. Forced car dependency makes us poorer, less healthy, and less connected to our neighbors.

The first step of a cure is to recognize that we have a car problem.
“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs and neglected public transport systems, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.”

A great and immediate way to decarb the grid is commity solar. Subscribe to Vendor today. Takes just minutes.
“AC could emit 2 billion tonnes of CO2e globally by 2050” well food systems emit 18 billion tonnes today. Idea: decarbonize the grid, decarbonize food systems and make them more resilient - and equitable access to cooling will make us all more resilient to a warming world

Maybe this is just rage bait at this point, but I find it Interesting that heating uses 4x the energy globally as cooling does, but authors of AC-shaming articles like this never call for people to just “tough it out” through the winter without heating their homes 🤔

This is very poor analysis, poor argumentation, and the sort of piece that actively harms climate action. AC is not, to wit, "quantifiably bad" - but this article really is.

Any corporate executive who signs off on a bribe to Trump should be prepared to explain their crimes in front of Congress and to the public when Democrats retake power

Trump’s “Freedom Cities” are part of a tech billionaire-backed plan to replace democracy with corporate rule.

It’s called The Network State, and it’s already underway.
