This could be us if we weren't strangling the solar industry to help keep oil prices up
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

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

Pundits say the problem is that Democrats fail to represent the people—but the real problem is that our political system fails to represent the people.
The Dems have won the popular vote in presidential elections six times since 1992 by roughly 5.5%(1992), 8.5%,(1996) .5%(2000), 7.3%(2008), 4%(2012), 2%(2016),and 4.5%(2020).
In that period the GOP presidential candidate has won the popular vote twice: 2.5%(2004) and 1.5%(2024).

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism.

If one of the world's dumbest voices is finally getting it, perhaps not all is lost.
The con worked, until it didn’t?
ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”
ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

The GOP has done nothing on healthcare in the 21st century other than stop Dems from improving it. Literally nothing.
Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

Where did all the "these 5 groceries cost me $100" posters from last year go?
Grocery shopping on Saturday, I caught myself saying out loud "are you kidding me?"
I do wonder when media outlets will get interested in ballooning everyday costs. My family's grocery bill has exploded over the past six months and - unlike when a Democrat is president - this is a non-story.

Need a Disney- plan.
SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

The media repeatedly told voters that the Biden administration supported open borders vs Trump who would deport criminals when the reality was it was Biden's policy to deport criminals and Trump's policy to just deport any foreigner they could regardless of danger or criminality (very unpopular!)
In some states, America’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement is scouring homes and businesses to find illegal migrants. As a result, many of the people arrested have no criminal record, as these charts show
Criminals make up a shrinking share of ICE arrests
Our five charts show why America’s deportation drive is becoming increasingly unpopular
