It's impressive how quickly grid storage is moving. 🔋☀️ Last Tuesday, batteries supplied over 20% of California’s total demand for 4 straight hours (6–10 PM) — soaking up solar by day and powering homes by night. The duck curve is flattening. Price signals are working. ⚡🇺🇸 #BESS #EnergyTransition

TrumpRx Could Let Government Steal All Your Data, Legal Expert Warns TNR: “President Donald Trump’s new scheme to transform the federal government into a pharmacy is already raising red flags for legal and health experts. newrepublic.com/post/201265/...

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: We've been on a momentum of job gains. BARTIROMO: You know the data though. We've had three months of slowing jobs.

Major victory in Kansas for transgender people. The Kansas Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling on gender markers on drivers license. ACLU Kansas says trans people can get their licenses updated starting Tuesday. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Aw America’s favorite rural welfare queens need another hand out. Rural born and bred and I’ve toughed harder times. But red states need a wake up because we are all in this together. They won’t be spared because they kissed up.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

Former VP Mike Pence is right: “We've got a longstanding policy, Posse Comitatus, that does not permit the use of the American military against the American people.”

• Police solve just 2% of all major crimes • One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police • 10,000 family dogs are killed by police every year (DOJ: "epidemic") • Bodycam Catches Planting Drugs (parents lost their children due to these) • Why the NYPD Costs $10 Billion a Year

More examples: "officers burned a dog alive for no reason, then laughed as the dog’s owners cried" "inmate died after [skin melted off]. His guards won’t be charged." "officers discussing who will kill dogs before they even arrive Laughing at not responding to 911 calls Planting drug felonies:

Epidemic abuse: "One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police" "White nationalists pervade law enforcement" 10,000 family dogs killed by police every year (DOJ: "epidemic") "Police solve just 2% of all major crimes" Videos of law enforcement planting drugs, felonies:

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Ronald Reagan signed EMTALA. EMTALA was enacted ensure equal patient access to emergency medical care and to prevent the practice of patient dumping, in which uninsured patients were transferred, solely for financial reasons, from private to public hospitals without consideration

BREAKING: A federal judge says there is a realistic likelihood that the prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driven by vindictive motives — reflected in the public statements of Bondi, Blanche, Noem et al. He has ordered discovery on the question. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Tim Walz: "We're in a massive misinformation campaign. The president himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really dangerous. I cannot express to you the concern and absolutely bafflement and fear of our European allies asking me, 'Is this stuff really going on?'"

Color me surprised. It’s a feature not a bug y’all. Knock knock. If you would be decent humans we could talk. They are not sending the best and brightest.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Interesting time lapse

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Translation: I have no problem with the problem. Only a problem with you pointing out the problem. As a kid my older brother tried so hard to get me in trouble for “tattling” to avoid his own punishment when he hurt me. Asking questions & expecting accountability is normal. This WH is juvenile.

Hatch act? Anyone?

The word that keeps running through my head about this administration (among others) is "adolescent." These are people with a little boy's idea of what sounds manly.

Arresting US Citizens without probable cause is both a criminal and civil offense. Local officials must figure this out or violence is inevitable.

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

Instead of acknowledging that maybe, just maybe you had to work twice as hard to prove yourself worthy in life along the way. Not at all the same, but it brought back memories of how my young son felt as the only Black kid when the class read To Kill a Mockingbird out loud… 2/3

My thoughts when hearing Hegseth live was that there are so many POC and women that serve. Including high ranking Generals and Admirals. How humiliating to sit through that and hear that you aren’t worthy or that you skipped the line because of your skin color. 1/3

Ai? Or Llm accuracy? Just asking questions. I’m not a tech person.

It’s almost impressive that he was able to say this with a straight face

NEW: Republicans refused to change the rules to fund the government with a simple majority, & failed to pass a funding bill. Fetterman, Cortez-Masto, & Angus King voted with republicans to fund the regime - but came up short in the end. THANK YOU to Schumer for not voting to fund this government.

Hegseth says he'll weaken the IG oversight process: "We are overhauling an inspector general process, the IG, that has been weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues, and poor performers in the driver's seat … No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints."

I chose a very special day to return to work.👩‍💻 Wishing my fellow #translators a happy #InternationalTranslationDay It's still the best job in the world!🙌

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48 Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…
