A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing.
Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel were out last night enjoying the Las Vegas F1 race at taxpayers’ expense. This is exactly the kind of fraud, waste, and abuse that deserves a full investigation.

“The GOP’s greatest con has convinced Americans that what is holding them back economically is not the rich with their tax lawyers and loopholes; rather, it’s the poor, who might buy junk food with food stamps. It’s not the people hoarding billions; it’s the people sleeping on the sidewalks.”

Trump continues to order the summary execution of people on boats in the Caribbean while asking everyone to accept his word that they deserved to die because they were smuggling drugs. We will never know in most cases if they were innocent or guilty of what he accuses them of.

Doing massive damage across the economy and then individually "saving" those who kiss up to the leader, doesn't seem like the best way to build a strong economy.

Nexstar and Sinclair are two large corporate behemoths.
They are imposing their values upon the local affiliates.
And they are putting their corporate interest above the public interest.

China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition

But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.

China is going to eclipse the US based off electricity alone. They have a modern grid and have been increasingly electrifying their economy. They have massive surpluses of electricity and a lot based in renewables. The US has an aging grid and is tied to a future of burning fossil fuel for energy.
