BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S.

AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers.

Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

JD Vance told El-Sayed to stop invoking Usha after AES said: "Do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no."

But it turns out AES offered this *in response* to something vile that JD previously said about how Papaw would have viewed AES:

Egregious omission by NYT: Its report on Vance-AES feud quotes AES's barb about Usha and Papaw without including the original Vance quote that AES was responding to. That makes it look like AES brought up Usha out of the blue and drains his quote of its real meaning:

trump if he met AES in person

Everything about her campaign is dripping with racism.

“AES is a misogynist…” why? because he’s Muslim.

“AES won’t release his complete financials” why? Because he’s sending his money to Muslim countries.

I’m all in on AES. Perfectly well articulated.

Love these AEs

Wrote up a lil #rstats opinion post based on an interesting discussion on here about where aes() should go in a ggplot.

AES is Dark Woke Zohran and it kind of rules.
Mike DODGERS is too cowardly to show up to debate me.

Good news! AES supports cutting that supply, too.

Kornacki cam call of AES defeating Haley Stevens

I think I were trying to get AES elected, and I knew that AES would be asked about every new comment of mine, I would shut the fuck up between now and Election Day.

A consortium led by BlackRock and a Swedish private-equity firm is buying US power company AES for $33.4 billion.

AES is one of the world's biggest utility companies, generating electricity in 15 countries.

In the US alone the company has over 1 million customers.

Lots of responses. A few points: 1) perception AES is the stronger candidate almost entirely due to AES friendly and partisan GOP polls. 2) With Whitmer and other endorsements the race could be moving towards Stevens, away from AES. 3) Wish more of the commentators here was clearly real people.

Credit to AES, he is really good at this.
WATTERS: “Some of this stuff is just straight-up wacky.”

🔥 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “You know what’s wacky? We have a president who cares more about the drapes in a ballroom than the affordability crisis or the war he got us into.”

Hey, look at me, posting good news about AES! (I think Murphy, a smart guy, is probably right)
September 1, 2026 at 3:28 PM
leave aside all the baggage w ezra klein. this is a really good interview bc klein mostly lets AES frame all the "hot button" topics and AES is really good at this stuff

ggplot(data, aes(x = reorder(category, -value), y = value)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity")
And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations.

I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.
