Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

Sen. Rick Scott in 2022: β€œThe buck stops with one person. Joe Biden made your gas prices go up. He did it. He actually did it.”
Scott today, 14 months after Trump took over: "Unfortunately, [gasoline] prices are gonna be up for a while."

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.

A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

Please call your reps.

Yes, we've already seen w/ this administration that Trump will say something batshit that will eventually be walked back - e.g. the claim the U.S. would be ruling Venezuela.

But the call for regime change is a divisive issue amongst the GOP. Push them on this.

Trump’s Epstein Scandal Takes Damning Turn as Dem Drops New Bombshell As new revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein saga threaten the president, a legal expert decodes what we just learnedβ€”and lays out a roadmap to what will happen now.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up."

If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod:

"But it's still the same."

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

P.S. Immigration agents admitted they were working 14 hour shifts, 7 days a week.

It was also rumored false arrests were counted.

Imagine working full time to accomplish 1 arrest in 2 months per agent.

They smashed windows, barged into people's homes, stalked children at school & still FAILED.

The only positive thing I can say about Pam Bondi is that she's so awful that she makes Jeff Sessions look good by comparison

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is β€” the reality is far far worse.

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
