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

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Under President Biden’s leadership, inflation was decreasing. Under Trump's economic malpractice, it's increasing. This isn't rocket science.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Trump and his acolytes aren’t offering policy debate or thoughtful governance. They only promise a dark future of cruelty and revenge. Anyone taking any path other than long-term opposition, is enabling them.

Never Trump was never easy. The alternative is capitulation, and we won't do that.
