Amazing to live in a country where the secret police are handling inter-chud beefs. It's like the Night of Long Knives playing out in the parking lot of a Dollar General.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country.

Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high.

Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record.

Noticing a pattern?

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

@netflix.com should take all these fantastic and fearless journalists and create a news arm.
With CNN up next for the integrity dissection, Netflix could create a world class, worldwide news stream with global reach on their global platform.

If you agree, share this.
If you don't, that's cool too.

Among the many awful parts of SCOTUS's shadow docket opinion, it's amazing how quickly the Court has gone from:
Political gerrymandering raises constitutional problems but is difficult to address
to
Political gerrymandering is a lawful justification for racial discrimination

During his hospital visit earlier this week, Trump had the chance to mosey over and visit U.S. soldiers wounded in a war he started. He didn't. Surprise surprise, huh?

He met with a few other vets there, though. He just avoided the ones injured in Iran.

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast!

Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe.

Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.
Spain just became one of Europe's cheapest power markets. Here is how.
How wind and solar quietly pushed gas off the margin, and the wholesale price followed.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr:

In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine.

She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation.

Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

One of the biggest problems with green technology is that big businesses can’t make endless money from it.

Oil/gas is a consumable that they make money from pumping, transporting, refining etc. LOTS of money year over year

The same is not true for wind/solar.

That’s the biggest hurdle.
