“Since created by Geo H.W. Bush in 1992, Energy Star has saved households & businesses more than $500 billion in energy costs (plus get rebates/tax credits) while preventing 4 billion metric tons of GHG emissions.” THANKS, Trump, for stopping these _crazy_ $$ savings (and worsening climate change)!!

A cross-border trucking CEO bought $20M of $TRUMP memecoin (w/ no inherent value other than Trump ownership) to lobby on Mexican tariffs--as admitted publicly. So a foreign multimillionaire gets to personally plead his case for Tariff relief, while smaller companies could never dream of such access.

"Sovereignty defeats Journalism" sounds less like a Kentucky Derby headline than title of a deep dive into Trump's rabid, MAGA hyper-nationalism & post-truth attack on traditional journalism (and any news source that doesn't completely capitulate to become part of the FOX et al. propaganda machine)

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."
