Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Chart showing solar panel exports from China (the main solar panel maker by a long shot) growing steadily & mightily from 2018 through 2026, then spiking by almost 2x in March 2026.

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

“That the richest man in the world and the biggest donor to the president and ruling party of the United States openly and repeatedly endorses ethnic cleansing and insinuates violent threats ought to be of greater concern to the world’s power brokers.”

So glad the president treats war with the seriousness it deserves: "There was some discussion about trying to conclude by the time financial markets open Monday because of concern about how the bombings will affect the U.S. and global economy, but an end point wasn't locked in."

U.S., Israel preparing to bombard energy-related targets in Iran, sources say

The U.S. and Israel plan to hit Iran's energy infrastructure as soon as this weekend, although no final decision has been made, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

Elon Musk’s embarrassing Economist interview and subsequent racist tantrum ought to present the media, government, investors and index funds with a simple yes-or-no question: Should huge chunks of the economy and millions of Americans’ retirement funds be tied to this man’s fortunes? (new @ms.now)

David Ellison’s daddy paid $150 million for a site that puts out podcasts of ex-fitness personalities saying right-wing white nationalist racism is a new thing and it’s everyone’s fault but the white racists.

I agree with Woke Bill Kristol. Hegseth controls the DC National Guard, Clayton controls the DNI, Patel controls the FBI, and Blanche controls the DOJ. Each of the powers centers that held against the violent J6 coup are now completely controlled by Trump loyalists.

🚨🚨🚨 With the confirmation of Clayton, Trump has loyalists in place at the power agencies who will work to enable his election subversion schemes for 2026 and 2028. They're not incompetent, and they're putting loyalists in beneath them. The threat is far greater than in 2020.

if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
