Utility safety concerns about plug-in solar panels prompted 5 states to delay votes on enabling legislation. Germany has 1.2 million balcony solar panels registered with no safety problems reported. Here's my @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2026/03/12/n...
Every second of free time you have ever had in your life was subsidized by the existence of the combine harvester.
DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.
Might I suggest that the U.S. Congress publicly debate, deliberate, and vote on going to war beforehand.
You know, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
These ghouls act like they've discovered some novel secret: "Hey, guys, GUYS! Did you know that we can just kill people whenever we want?" Yes, you absolute idiot, that's ALWAYS been true. We just chose not to, for good and self-interested reasons which the entire world is about to learn yet again.

This is a bad plan, it would give nothing to the bottom 40% while giving the most to people in the 60-80th percentiles of the income distribution.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
The President may have final authority over battlefield decisions but the bullets still belong to Congress, not to him.
"Looking at everyone who has supported us during the course of our fundraiser—whether financially or by saying a kind word about us—it's been quite obvious to me that what ties us all together is that we are, by and large, merely ordinary liberals." www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-met-...
Has Iran ever considered NOT putting all their important people in one room?
In 1973, a veto-proof majority of Congress took the position that POTUS’s constitutional powers to use military force are limited to:
1) declaration of war
2) specific statutory authorization
3) national emergency triggered by attack on U.S., its territories or possessions, or armed forces. 1/n

Republicans can end this anytime they want by agreeing to a national gerrymandering ban. Until then, they are going to be made to understand pain.
We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.
The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.
calls to return to “traditional indigenous agriculture” are calls for billions to die, it literally did lead to famine in Sri Lanka when it was tried, I’m firm believer that we should be bigger assholes to people hawking woo shit.

City transportation official opts for white line and signage instead of gate to keep their baby off the stairs.
“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”
They're locked in here with us, we're not locked in here with them
Is their rate of consumption higher than production at this point? What kind of reserves could they have? At some point will they run out, or have to scale back use? I have to wonder.

This is just the opinions of a group, a PR gimmick for boomers. I will never understand why we give any weight to the “doomsday clock” that just trades on the idea of clocks as dependable, objective tools.
“Group of people feel more nervous about the world today, tell everyone.”
Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
Who’s next?
One demotion cannot detract from accountability.
Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.
The only way DHS stops being a total menace is if Miller & Noem get the boot in favor of someone who will submit to Congressional oversight. The only way DHS stops being an un-American travesty is if it is dismantled altogether.
People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc
