"However, ERCOT expects plenty of extra energy from solar power—more than 20 gigawatts—despite coal and natural gas power plant outages to keep the grid functioning during the uncharacteristically hot weather." - CHRON Remember when Fox told us renewable crashed our grid during the freak snowstorm?

Propaganda in action. Most news: Trump pushes reporter to agree that doctored photos are real. Dismisses economic concerns as "they'll be fine". Says that illegals have a different system, not due process. Claims Putin "wants peace". 1/2

"We don't want people in the federal government who feel like it's their pet project to go persecute, you know, police departments based on statistical evidence..." DOJ Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dillon Oh yeah, you know, that woke, feelings-based "statistical evidence".

That is the way we build our roads and bridges, that is the way we educate our children, that is the way we take care of our seniors. We support law enforcement. And that has been our tradition for nearly 300 years. Now thrown out by a President in a memo…” (2/2)

Hey, DOGE posers. Instead of accessing sensitive HR records pretending to do work, here's a real efficiency issue you could tackle. This is JUST Alabama. Scammers are making off with hundreds of millions of taxpayers funded aid because of outdated technologies and an inability to act.

Voucher programs are getting more and more scammed. First we give taxpayers dollars to schools with 0 government oversight (we don't even do that for FAFSA aid). Second, we pay FOR PROFIT companies to manage the payments. What??

The process has been bumpy...

RTO for all federal employees. You know, except for Trump. Classic post-COVID logic. Work from home is bad when anyone but the boss wants it. WaPo reported tht Trump spent 1/3 of his first term at Trump properties, not the white house.

Yes. This is the kind of going low I can get behind. "Blackmon told Newsweek that the bill is meant to 'point out the double standards in legislation.'" It would be lovely if we could all just focus on common sense legislation, but since that's apparently not possible, let's slow them down.
