Meanwhile, across the Pacific, China installed more photovoltaic energy last year than the US (where photovoltaics were invented in the 1950s at Bell Labs) has in its entire history!
So, America Second!, I guess...

There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.

Not enough people are talking about Trump’s plan to privatize Social Security. He’s slashed staff, cut services, and stranded rural seniors by closing support centers. His own Treasury Secretary says the Republican budget created a “backdoor for privatizing Social Security.” This is serious.
