The claim nuclear is more reliable than renewables is a myth. WindWaterSolar has not only met a higher percent (12.8%) of demand during its worst 5 min in all of 2026 than nuclear during its best 5 min (12.0%), but has also met seasonal & daily demand better than nuc from 2023-26 on the CAISO grid

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

If you were waiting for your sign to donate to an insurgent campaign for Congress in Missouri...this is your sign. I'm current polling 5 points ahead of 14 yr incumbent Ann Wagner in a seat held by the GOP for 34 years. I need you now. We can take this across the finish line and change Missouri.

The Dispatch is my hometown newspaper, so this one hits a little different. They don’t make endorsements often and I know they don’t take that decision lightly. It means a lot to have the paper I grew up reading put their confidence in me and this movement we've built over the past year.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

This week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:

A valid concern for sure. Republican campaigns often rely much more on negative partisanship (induced fear of Democrats) than on affirmative arguments. This likely means that red state Republicans who do not have any reason to fear local Democrats would be more undecided until the last minute.

In *every* election for *both* House and Senate since 1998, polls have overestimated Democrats by more in red states than blue states (and vice versa) www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

MASSIVE BOMBSHELL: DAN GOLDMAN UNLEASHES TRUTH! Congressman Goldman just went live with FBI 302 receipts. Evidence shows Trump unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis in self-defense, he punched her and called her a "B” We knew it was coming! 😡🤬

Trump wants us to stop talking about Epstein, but we haven't forgotten that the DOJ is withholding nearly three million documents related to our investigation. We're not going to stop until we get justice for survivors and all the files are released to the public.

JD Vance makes a recommendation on who to vote for in the midterms: "Vote for the people who have solutions to lower the cost of gas, don't vote for the people who made the problem to begin with."

This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

Christopher Dobbins, owner of Dobbins Lawncare Services in the Memphis area posted this under a photo of the sweet child that was gunned down in the school shooting in Oregon last week. Just because they were wearing a PRIDE shirt. Do with this info whatever you feel appropriate.

It’s a clear conflict of interest for the Trump Administration to have their own lawyers represent immigrant children against their own deportation machine. We have two demands for Secretary Kennedy: (1) Drop this absurd plan (2) Restore independent legal counsel Now.

This may be the most outrageous, disgusting, offensive thing Trump has ever said. If not, it is tied for the honor. Russia has been fine on Ukraine. It makes me want to puke.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Circumventing government sanctions is still a federal crime, even if no one is enforcing it at the moment. Maybe she can be her own defense attorney at her trial since she says she passed the Chinese bar exam. 😂

Despite a court order, Trump kept using your tax dollars to run his propaganda ads. From his gold-plated ballroom, to his new DC golf course, to these illegal ads, Trump will use your tax dollars to do everything but lower your costs. He & his minions must reimburse taxpayers.

washingtonpost.comTrump blew past deadline to halt running taxpayer-funded campaign-style adsA coalition of nonprofits had sued, calling the ads “propaganda.” The president has said campaign funds would be used to pay for the commercials going forward.

🚨 Kansas Republican Governor Mike Hayden endorses Adam Hamilton: Kansans work hard. They deserve a senator who works just as hard for them... I supported Roger Marshall before, but he has put party and politics ahead of the people of Kansas. It's time for a change.
