Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

The scary part is that journalism does not matter anymore. As a true dictator, Trump has managed to make the free press irrelevant. Actually, one of the few things he is doing like a pro. Other autocrats need 10 years to achieve a position where full-blown corruption is accepted.

Reporter: Mr. President, this is at least the 5th time you’ve called off airstrikes against Iran since April. Why should it be any different? Trump: Well, you don’t know. I don’t know. I think we’re maybe going to get something, but I want to give them every last chance before decapitation.
Remember Trump's disastrous Great American State Fair? He's now asking Congress for an additional $10M to reimburse costs for his July 4th "Freedom 250" flop. That's on top of the $100M+ in taxpayer funds that's already been funneled into his MAGA party planning committee.

The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.
What a surprise. The “peace deal negotiations” Trump talked about yesterday and Republicans saying on Fox that something is “very close” was just more blather and drivel.
Hey, get in line behind *millions* of people, including Native Americans driven from their land and slaughtered, kidnapped Africans who were enslaved and lynched, women treated like property, LGBTQ people demeaned and treated like they didn’t matter, you crybaby, self-indulgent loser.

It’s no surprise that nobody is shocked. Capital One has confirmed that it terminated the accounts of the Trump Organization following an anti-money-laundering review.

This is insane. If Joe Biden had done this, Republicans would have a complete meltdown for 4 years.
It's interesting how they literally tell us what they do.
"With his Middle East crisis spiraling out of control and popularity in the sewer, Trump is keeping his eye on the prize. 'Almost every night...Trump calls for an update. Trump asks which companies and donors have cut checks and which haven’t, and for how much.'” www.thebulwark.com/p/a-portrait...

Meanwhile we’re cutting kids’ cancer research, millions have lost nutritional assistance, millions more have been kicked off of Medicaid, and Medicare part D subsidies are gone, too. WHO THE HELL STILL VOTES FOR THIS?

tRump’s shaking down companies for $25-50 million checks for his ballroom and library. His fundraiser literally tells them “the boss wants this money.” Apple, Amazon, SoftBank all paying up. Instead of fundraising, it’s a protection racket run from the White House. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

The Trump regime has killed at least 221 people by bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since last September. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.

History isn’t just a set of facts. It’s a story we tell about who we are. My contribution to Odyssey discourse is about how the American right wants a history where only white men feature because they want a future where only white men rule. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-new-vand...
The New Vandals
Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" offends right-wingers' notion that only white men make history.
liberalcurrents.com
Despite the whining about “ historical accuracy,” the racist backlash to the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey is about the right wanting to justify racial hierarchy by projecting it into a past where it did not actually exist. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
