A federal court says the Trump admin improperly terminated $20B in "green bank" funds — a big win for the nonprofit groups fighting to restore clean-energy and climate lending. But a likely Supreme Court appeal may delay them from getting their money: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cli... #energysky

as tim walz said, they're seriously weird
Ben CollinsOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
After President Trump raged against his longtime ally Jeanine Pirro, she arrived to the White House prepared.
Balcony solar. A solution coming to your city soon.
David HoNot sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.
According to King and the ACLU, she was on her property the whole time, Idaho NG troops initiated by opening her gate and coming after her. No comment from IDNG.
NPRMilitary veteran and D.C. resident Anna King has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Idaho National Guard, saying three guard members assaulted her while detaining her in front of her home. n.pr/4wyjw9S
This is an easy story to tell, but it is hard to get done. The electric utilities and the data centers have seemingly unlimited resources and they are constantly trying to confuse everyone. Governors need good staff with the persistence to force big changes. substack.com/home/post/p-...
Last weekend drove across Memorial Bridge for first time in months. Numbers suggest what a gargantuan waste this is. But until you see it in person, hard to grasp how completely amateurish, cheesy, lower-tier-casino it looks. Sort of like that notorious redo of 'Ecce Homo' in Spain in 2012.
BrooklynDad_Defiant!If this obscenely gaudy gold shit doesn't piss you off, you're not even paying attention.
Good news: some of the US international aid funding has been restored! I graphed it here to put the numbers in context of the scale of the cuts. The article says PEPFAR restoration is still to come. 🤞
Josh BusbyGood to see that money for GAVI, Global Fund, the World Food Programme and other health program is now starting to finally flow with expectations for more PEPFAR money as well. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/h...
Cooked.
Again, every war game and natsec briefer since the 1970s said: stove hot, no touch.
Rory Johnston10-day average Hormuz-exiting oil flow has fallen below 3 MMbpd. That's down ~80% from late June's peak of more than 15 MMbpd. Feels silly to say five months into this, but that's not enough oil.
The goal of this "review" was always to relieve the terrible insecurity some military folks have around civilian academics and turn the academies and service colleges back into what they were some 35 years ago: Retirement homes for passed-over officers.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
BREAKING: Fauci says he is *invoking his 5th Amendment right to not answer ANY questions,* per written testimony Fauci says he believes Rand Paul is seeking to wrongly trap him today
Dan DiamondThis morning: TONY FAUCI again faces the Senate, this time in a hearing led by RAND PAUL Fauci and his allies say Paul's claims about "covid coverrup" are baseless Paul says that if Fauci lies today, his pardon won't cover him More with @annalissroy.bsky.social
Excuse me..why is US Senate bringing up COVID pandemic again? We know what happened. Worst pandemic in decades In USA: 103 million cases 1.1 million died Badly mismanaged by POTUS Trump, who fed misinformation & fears. But did help development of vaccine Best medical advisor: Dr. Anthony Fauci
This is all a crazy effort to rewrite the past, yes. But what's really terrifying is hearing these people tell us how badly they're going to fuck up the *next* pandemic they're now creating without that nerd Fauci holding them back.
Aaron RuparPeter 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."
