The chaos will continue until morale improves

Many people who want to frame themselves as “moderates” have been getting this wrong for years but there’s really no excuse anymore

Worth a reminder in light of Matty Iglesias’ pro-fossil fuel propaganda in the NYTimes this morning👇 bsky.app/profile/eric...

Dude that was one flawed report. Take a read at what is undeniably the strangest CPI report in my career arc. Btw, it’s ok to say we just don’t know & need more data to make sound policy & investment judgements. #Econ #EconSky Source: The Real Economy Blog realeconomy.rsmus.com/that-novembe...

Great thread challenging common beliefs about EU v US economies

JUST NOW: Trump now openly says he is trying to force CNN into the hands of his allies to stop the network from criticizing him. 🇺🇸 Welcome to authoritarianism. ‘1984’ is here. (Imagine Biden saying this about Fox)

Totally normal

Unfortunately some parts of the 14th Amendment already aren’t real:

The Kia EV9 and the Hyundai IONIQ 9 are the two (enormous) cars that will be the first in the group to be used with a V2G service. This will be launched in the Netherlands before being expanded to other markets and models (hopefully including more friendly ones).

What a sick joke. Will they put photos of the murders in the Caribbean Sea in the lobby? How about a photo of Trump clapping as the murderer Putin arrives in Alaska? Or Trump having the time of his life with the murdering Saudi Prince MBS? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

Americans' views of the job market are the most negative Gallup has recorded since the closing days of Trump’s first term, in January 2021 during the pandemic.

Economic confidence just dropped to a 17-month low, per Gallup. And that's not the only bad news... (short 🧵) news.gallup.com/poll/699311/...

The evidence keeps piling up that — contrary to popular belief — more clean renewables means cheaper electricity 11 of 12 US states with the highest proportion of clean renewables have cheaper than average electricity

It’s wild that Trump is trying to kill the top energy source in 6 primarily Republican states (SD, IA, KS, WY, OK, ND) 🙃

Tesla plunged to 6,964 sales in Europe in Oct, down from 13,519 last year. BYD + SAIC are exploding while Tesla is one of the region’s worst performers. The only reason Tesla still survives in the U.S. is because Chinese EVs are blocked. If Americans had real choice, Tesla would be in more trouble.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Jamelle Bouie expresses, far better than I ever could, why I chose to contribute to Liberal Currents, even though my politics doesn’t overlap with its political programme one to one

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

you should support liberal currents!

EV market isn't slowing: "Every 5th new car registered across Europe is now a pure electric BEV model That applies to both a 12-month trailing basis & also during opening 10 mo of 2025" #alwaysbecharging

Macron says France and EU partners will soon finalize a plan to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine, offering financial security and pressure on Moscow. A UK-France-led group with U.S. and Turkey will also shape postwar security guarantees.

VISA, MasterCard, Amazon and other US-based financial institutions and platforms could end up being the big losers as US authoritarian overreach and international bullying make development of alternatives essential to survival of democracy outside the US

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders. The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

I was told there was a crisis of free speech on campus that must be reversed

40% of women aged 15-44 say they would like to leave the US permanently It’s not great when almost half of young women want to flee the country By contrast: 8% of men 45+ 14% of women 45+ 19% of men 15-44 and 20% adults overall Have the same desire

A reminder: energy isn't just electricity. Many countries have done well to decarbonise the tip of the energy iceberg - electricity. The hard bit is what's below the tip of the iceberg - heat, cooling and transport.

The @IEA is repeating its abject failure to account for the solar boom, now with EVs, to create an alternative reality for Trump where oil-burning vehicles will dominate transportation and oil demand will keep growing.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

But Joyce, have you considered the possibility that Doc Brown transported the emails back in time in his DeLorean?

A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

Investors when they see Trump’s chaos

Not sure how @theonion.com can compete with this 🙃

Ya can't make this stuff up.

A systematic attack on the rule of law. Watergate-level high crimes and misdemeanors happening every day.

China is ramping up exports of EVs, batteries, solar, wind and other clean technologies in high demand Meanwhile, the US is trying to strongarm its trading partners to buy oil and other fossil fuel products they increasingly don’t need and don’t want

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

DO NOT look away.

Who wants to live in a Big Apple that isn’t rotten? “I couldn’t stand the thought of a socialist running a city that is supposed to be managed by egomaniacal kleptocrats.”
