Report finds stacking the deck in favor of fossil fuel energy sources "artificially increased its prices for consumers, increased pollution, and collectively cost families billions of dollars."

Who could possibly have anticipated that paying back Big Oil's political bribe by cancelling a bunch of clean energy projects at a time of increasing demand would drive up energy prices?!? Welp, at least continuing fossil fuel pollution doesn't drive up a bunch of other crippling costs for us, too!

A month ago, NYT columnist David Brooks wrote a column decrying the media and political fixation on the Epstein story. This afternoon, House Democrats released a new tranche of photos of an event that Brooks attended with Epstein.

this pretty much guarantees months and months of performative bullshit by Trump and Ellison and right wing media about how Netflix ownership would be a woke antitrust nightmare, but letting Larry and his nepobaby son dominate U.S. media would be a delightful, populist spritzer

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with the Trump administration's attempts to ban clean, cheap energy. But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress lowering costs, building clean energy, and tackling climate change all across the country. Long thread of wins you may have missed 🧵👇
