I know I’m a bit late to this, but watching Nathan Fielder in The Rehearsal meet with a Congressman made me viscerally uncomfortable.

Boy, talk about grasping at straws: ‘newness’ and ‘Democrats on the board’ are his evidence of “waste, fraud and abuse”? Pathetic. No wonder judges found “no evidence.” (BTW, what’s “new” is an association of longstanding, respected entities who joined together to better implement the program.)

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

I love this whole thread of powerful testimony against SB 819 in Texas! These energy projects are critical revenue sources for communities and will help lower energy costs.

This is colossally stupid. Think of all the work required to conduct the RFI process described in the EO every few years (and theoretically each year!). now think about doing that with a hollowed out federal workforce. This is a major burden that will slow down everything else they are working on.

One big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be 54 percent when these tariffs take effect.

An FDA worker confirms what I've seen out there. CDC's entire FOIA office is gone. The FDA's communications and web office were cut. "The FDA as we know it is gone."

LIHEAP?! This is unbelievably cruel and shortsighted. Families across the country are still grappling with the impact of inflation on their utility costs and Covid-era challenges, and taking away this assistance is going to put so many more at risk of disconnection.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

At this rate, we are on a collision course where we will soon see whether people’s (and their friends/family) lived experience/reality or propaganda/misinformation is more powerful, and hoo boy I am not confident in reality winning that contest!

Today PosiGen, Solar Alternatives, and Empowered by Light held a ribbon cutting for a solar+storage project for the New Orleans VFW Post! It will save them $1,400 and provide continuous backup power during storms and outages so the VFW Post can continue serve the community.

This is 100% true. Utilities are in an all out war to stop Chair Gillett’s renomination. We NEED bold leadership at PUCs.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

I’m pretty concerned that OMB is asking for Treasury to report on its tax credits as part of this illegal pause. They cannot just stop/prohibit the use of congressionally-authorized tax credits! #EnergySky💡🔌
