You or someone you know probably believes misinformation about natural gas; polling shows HALF of likely voters think it’s a clean fuel. We made this episode to try and debunk some of that misinformation, but also to explore the decades-long propaganda campaign fueling it. Pls like/share!

Reforming DC's local solar market will be key to affordability and the program's survival. I offer details in Capital Commonsense by @ashleyschapitl.bsky.social Read it here: capitalcommonsense.com/p/district-c...

I don't care what you politics are. This is simply beyond professional, adult or appropriate behavior from Trump, his backup lackeys and the VP. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/are... How can anyone support this lying, cruel human being.

This government is run by sociopaths and psychopaths. This is abhorrent, inhumane and immoral. A snuff film paid for by taxpayers. Republicans in Congress could stop it but they are cowards and won’t. That makes them conplicit. Do not forget. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

remember, the war in Iran in unauthorized. Congress could shut it down if Republicans wanted to. only a few Rs are starting to distance themselves from the war, but if elected they won't follow through. they'll just give in to Trump like they always do.

as people lavish praise on @mayor.nyc.gov, remember the guy he stood next to is responsible for this www.local10.com/news/local/2... and this time.com/article/2026... and countless other crimes and brutalities

This is unfathomable. It is cruel, wasteful and puerile. Yet Republicans stand by Trump. Generations will be needed to root out the rot in our country that voted for this and turns a blind eye to the desecration of the nation and the presidency by Trump. www.whitehouse.gov/arcade/

Congress has all the tools to stop the runaway train that is Trump’s America before more damage is done. Republicans are in charge and refuse to act. Don’t forget in November and every day after.

This is appalling. These Haitians were here legally under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. The Trump regime spread racist lies, ended the program, declared them illegal and rounded them up in chains for deportation. Now DHS is proudly posting videos of Black Haitians in chains.

"Internal polls show data centers are as popular as spent nuclear waste."

The next few days are stacked for local booklovers! Here are the highlights from our Weekend Events guide: 📖 Black Books Matter Fest at Mahogany Books 📖 Book Besties speed-dating at East City Bookshop 📖 A community book swap at Cafe Cino More on these events and others:

Are Republicans really going to run an election on calling Democrats Communists? Especially when Trump is the closest we've come to a Soviet style Communist regime in my lifetime. How does that even work? Do people under 40 even know what "Communism" was?

We have spent hundreds of billions on defense, even a trillion annually for forever and we have enough interceptor missiles **checks notes** for a few months???

when you think Republicans can't lower the bar any more. absolutely devastating how sanctimonious, hypocritical and weak the Republican elected officials are www.mediaite.com/media/news/g...

In the regulatory world, we usually see this from licensees who "sharpen their pencils" to get a better number to meet a regulatory standard. When the government does it, it is worse. www.ft.com/content/bf4c...

Our government and the republican media are deeply ill. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

This is so good. It's hilarious but also scary. Wow. Gemini went from “almost certainly” to “solidifies completely”.

"At every fork in the road on Iran, Trump’s choices get worse" How about "At every fork in the road, Trump chooses poorly." Active verb with Trump as subject is much better www.cnn.com/2026/07/27/p...

Everyone sees Sen. Jon Ossoff's viral clips and the slickly produced campaign speech videos, giving him Dem superstar status and igniting calls for him to run for president. But in the Senate, his persona is much different. This is how his Senate colleagues view him... puck.news/inside-jon-o...

This made me chuckle as an on again off again cyclist. “In June, he biked dozens of miles across New Hampshire and held town halls in the early-voting state.” Cyclists bike dozens of miles in one ride. Commuters in a couple of days on their way to work. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/s...

This article provides ZERO mention of any qualifications Graham’s sister has to be a Senator. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/13/t...

The financial problem with natural electricity is that the cost is primarily driven by fuel. As nat gas goes up, the cost of electricity goes up. Renewables are generally capital expense driven. So generating price is generally constant over time. finance.yahoo.com/energy/artic...

Getting solar panels is an easy way to bring down your electric bill in D.C. But what if it’s making everyone else’s bills higher? A dive into why addressing political demands for action on high electric bills is complicated, in @notus.com: www.notus.org/metro/solar-...

This was nuanced and interesting.

New for @puck.news After the spectacular collapse of Graham Platner, progressives admit that it was a setback. Abdul El-Sayed is their next best hope to prove they can win in difficult places and to lay the groundwork for 2028. puck.news/after-platne...

I am 100% for solar just not how DC does it. You can accomplish the same goals but at a lower cost. DC has made solar (the cheapest form of electricity) into the most expensive by far. www.notus.org/metro/solar-... More details here: gregjaczko.substack.com/p/naturally-...

So is Congress going to hold Trump to the war powers act now that the “pause” in the clock is clearly over?

who are the 5% on Kalshi who think Platner won't drop out? and will that number grow by the hour? day? longer he goes w/o dropping out, more he will likely think he can ride this out buoyed by establishment-out-to-get-him-b/c-he's-4-working-class bros. (To be clear. I DON'T support him at all)

After covering our first primary election, we're taking a step back to look at our impact. One highlight: 50,000 people read our voter guide!?! That's nearly one-third of the total number of voters in the election. This is why we started this newsroom. Now, we need your help to keep growing:

Has any Maine jurisdiction opened an investigation into Platner? The allegations in Politico seem sufficient for that. Foremost this is a serious criminal allegation. Secondarily it is a political problem. Maybe Dems should call for an investigation AND for Platner to drop out.

It would be nice if we fixed our criminal justice system so women could feel comfortable reporting sexual assaults to the police instead of having to report them to journalists who can only report on the accusations but do nothing about potentially prosecuting them.

Kinda sums up most of what underpins SpaceX's current valuation... "SpaceX told some investors that the project was at an early stage. The design could change and it is unclear whether such a device will be made." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/spac...

www.northcentralpa.com/news/pa-hous... Public power in DC.

www.infoworld.com/article/4189... When you factor in the indirect costs like skyrocketing electricity rates, the AI reckoning will come. The issue is what destruction to the economy will it leave in its wake. I looked at this in my substack: gregjaczko.substack.com/p/naturally-...

www.cnn.com/2026/06/29/p... Great features of the US executive branch are the INDEPENDENT regulatory agencies, one of which I ran. SCOTUS killed them. Nothing to protect people's health, safety, or finances is safe from Trump & this renegade court. Time for Dems to reform the court in 2026

Trumps state fair arch has vibes of Spinal Taps Stonehenge set

Venezuela health minister says around 235 people dead and 4,300 injured in catastrophic earthquakes

Congratulations to @robertwhitedc.bsky.social on a hard-earned victory. DC is lucky to have people willing to fight for it, and I’m rooting for his success. We didn’t win, but we moved the conversation on the issues that matter. It’s been the honor of my life. Thank you, DC. 💚

I sat down with POLITICO’s E&E News to talk about why I’m running. The core of it: DC deserves lower electricity bills, and public power is how we get there. Buy the system, take the profit out, and your bill goes down. Read the full conversation. www.eenews.net/articles/ex-...

My statement on Trump’s threat to take away DC’s home rule if we don’t vote the way he wants. Only DC voters should decide their elected leaders. Not Trump. Not Congress.

The circle has closed. The Trump presidency has become the real life version of AI slop.

Visited Mamatoto Village this week. The stat that stuck with me: 80%+ of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. In DC, 90% of maternal deaths involve Black women, and 64% occur in Wards 7 &8. Preventable means fixable. Read more on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/gregjacz...

The end of the Iran war is the new infrastructure week except, like, thousands are dead and most Americans can’t afford gas or groceries. He’s not a genius. He’s a narcissist way out of his depth and people all over the world are suffering.
