Countries across Asia and Africa are speeding up the adoption of solar, batteries and electric vehicles in a deliberate strategy to decrease their dependence on imported natural gas and oil.

Extremely telling detail from this WSJ piece about Platner's demise: "Women on the campaign told Platner he was being managed by advisers who treated them unfairly and didn’t value their ideas," with one telling him point-blank "Hey, you have a very sexist, misogynistic staff."

If you haven’t heard of Devon Murphy-Anderson, you will. She’s the exec director of the Maine Democratic Party, and quickly becoming one of the most influential Democratic operatives in the country. She makes one thing clear: 📌 The mission is bigger than any one candidate.

I won't be satisfied until the MDP says the paperwork has been filed and he's officially out. He's up to something. Color me suspicious.

Many T.P.S. holders have been building lives in the United States for years. Figuring out how to live underground and hide out from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents may be preferable for many over a return to Haiti or Syria to rebuild lives in those troubled countries.

As the outbreak of cyclospora grows it has been reported that last year due to a lack of funding the CDC made tracking it optional, with means this outbreak (which causes explosive diarrhea) is just further proof that cutting the CDC’s funding was a really shitty idea.

Why is a taxpayer-funded org paying to advertise on Trump's own social media platform? Freedom 250 gets tens of millions in federal money — and now some of it may be flowing straight into Trump Media's pockets via sponsored Truth Social ads. We follow the money:

The grip "communism" has on the president's psyche needs to be studied. Over the past two weeks alone, Trump has brought up communism a full 81 times.

Texas, the model State for Project 2025, a return to The Confederacy, Jim Crow 2.0 and The Handmaid’s tale, white Christian nationalism, fascism… And strangely, 8 million Texans that are eligible don’t vote!

You already pay for the grid every month. The only question on the table is whether the companies driving up its cost pay their share, or whether you keep covering it for them.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I hope there’s someone who can help me understand why there was never any investigation.

"First US sodium-ion plant to produce 4 GWh of grid storage to power 4 million homes." Peak’s sodium-ion battery systems, "which reduce the cost of energy storage by 20% and have a 99% guaranteed uptime, begin shipments in Q1 2027." interestingengineering.com/energy/us-so... #energysky

Build first, ask permission later? No. Georgia communities deserve answers before data centers and generators go up, not after. Leadership Matters!

#Morocco is finding a clever way to produce #cleanenergy while protecting one of its most valuable resources: water. By installing floating #solarpanels on reservoirs and dams, the country is allowing the same surface to generate electricity while helping reduce water evaporation during dry periods

New research indicates that state voter registration lists — a common administration target — are actually accurate and up to date. And both blue and red states are largely doing a good job maintaining their lists. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Once again, the Christian nationalist pseudo-history spread by David Barton is simply false. No, Founding Father Robert Morris did not wind up in debtors' prison because he went bankrupt funding the American Revolution. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

ICE does not deny that it's pressuring key eyewitnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo to agree to deportation without a court hearing, and instead offers no responsive comment at all.

Kentucky's Democratic Congressman Morgan McGarvey said he opposes all hyperscale data center construction in the state, including one planned in west Louisville, at a public forum organized by Democratic state lawmakers. #kyga26 From @sylviaruthg.lpm.org

New Poll Shows Majority of Americans Believe There Are Grounds to Impeach Trump Despite it, The Democratic Party leadership has largely downplayed the idea of impeaching the president

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

Karley Baurichter said she worries that hyperscale data centers will exhaust natural water systems, mislead rural workers into believing data center jobs will bring long-term prosperity, disrupt the ecosystem with noise, light and excess heat, and expose rural communities to greater surveillance.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been an accelerator for the energy transition I told @npr.org. In an uncertain world, many countries found that investing in renewables and EVs give them energy security – and makes economic sense. And that's not going away. www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...
