Scoop: Clearway Cancels Plan to Swap Solar Farm for Data Center and Gas Plant

The energy developer is backing off after a Heatmap report.

The most surprising thing about all of this is that Pirro admitted as much to the court yesterday and threw Doug Burgum under the bus in the process.

Trump didn’t want to admit that he personally hired an unqualified contractor who screwed up the Pool and cost taxpayers millions. So instead he had the hack Fox host who he installed as US attorney indict an innocent man so he could blame him and others for his own incompetence.

Peter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."

Just devastated to hear about Glen Hansard's death. What a loss for the world. If for some reason you haven't seen Once, go stream it now.

Y'all, the film capture of Hadestown is SOMETHING ELSE. Go see it in a theater in the next 2 days if you possibly can.

We've reached the "and find out" portion of the proceedings. Question for @kenwhite.bsky.social (or others): when he inevitably TACOs and moves to dismiss, is there anything the BBC can do to keep the case going and force discovery anyway?

A federal magistrate judge has ruled that Trump must turn over detailed financial information in connection with his defamation lawsuit against the BBC. The decision opened the door for the BBC to explore the finances of more than 400 companies owned by a Trump family trust.

This is, and I am not even joking, going to fuck up so many hyperlexic kids. I got accused of plagiarism because I used the word “porous” in a sixth grade paper and that shit sticks with you, if not on the permanent record, then in the childhood.

Yep. Fix democracy first.

Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social · 3w ago

Not using the Dem trifecta of 2021-23 to pack the SCOTUS, add states and aggressively prosecute Trump and prominent Republicans for the Jan 6 coup plot was a national disaster on the scale of Andrew Johnson's handling of Reconstruction. We might get one more chance to fix things, but it's not 100%.

Breaking news: The lining of the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool peeled in at least seven places along seams that were created when the material was applied, indicating likely problems in how it was installed, according to experts and a Post analysis.

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

They just opened a cowardly short 14-day public comment period. Make your voices heard. PLEASE. Link Below 🔗👇🏽 eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...

Even by Doug Burgum's incompetence standards this is horrific. Underneath the Lincoln Memorial, the National Park Service is keeping rare copies of the 13th Amendment and Emancipation Proclamation at temperatures above 80⁰. dc.citycast.fm/news/lincoln...

Jayson Conner and Jeffrey Newman, a couple who spent years walking the streets of New York and handing out tens of thousands of backpacks filled with supplies — toiletries, socks, notebooks — to people in need, died within days of each other.

"Today, Davey Hearn pled not guilty — because he is not guilty," Norm Eisen, one of his attorneys, said outside DC Superior Court. "If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk — and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution."

Welp

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social · 4w ago

The feds just made it official: They won't fight a bid by members of the "Broadview 6" for attorneys' fees. They do "not concede that the United States has acted or done anything to warrant those fees." They also say there should be no discovery. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/dc/d1/e34a37...
