Trump: Airport lines for you, caviar for me!

wild to read that there was one -- one! -- air traffic controller last night at LaGuardia a time when the government is asking for $200 billion for Trump's vanity war #Echobox=1774280822" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jalopnik.com/2129924/laguar…

Breaking News: The Trump administration will pay a French energy giant nearly $1 billion to abandon its plans to build wind farms off the East Coast. nyti.ms/4lNat07

More to do, it wasn't perfect... But the Affordable Care Act was a historic step in the right direction and millions of Americans have health insurance because of it -- people who would be uninsurable without the ACA

Saw Project Hail Mary. Its great and lives up to the book. Go see it.

Smart policy can start at the local level

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #NoWarNoWarming

“I feel like... he might not be good at deals”

Montana congressional candidate Sam Forstag, a smokejumper running for office, says the fire he's trying to put out is "that working people in this country cannot afford the basics." "Right now, the biggest fires that people are dealing with back home in Montana, where I live is, well, nobody can afford housing, and we got cities where housing has doubled or tripled in cost, if not more in the last 5 or 10 years in western Montana. And our wages have not kept up," he says.

Let me get this straight. The federal government held a legal auction for the right to build offshore wind farms. A company won those auctions fair and square, paying nearly a billion dollars into the U.S. Treasury. The projects went through years of review. Courts repeatedly upheld their legality. Everything was above board. Then the Trump administration tried five separate times to kill other wind projects in federal court and lost every single time. Judges reviewed the administration’s supposed “national security” justification and weren’t persuaded.  So now they’ve landed on a new plan: pay the company nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS of your tax money to just walk away. Because, and I am not making this up, the president thinks offshore wind turbines are ugly and claims without evidence that they “drive whales crazy.”  He’s been nursing this petty grudge since 2012, when he tried to block a wind farm visible from his golf course in Scotland. Fourteen years later, American taxpayers are footing the bill for it. This is stupid policy. It’s fiscally reckless, strategically blind, and driven entirely by a personal vendetta rather than any coherent vision for American energy or competitiveness. Meanwhile, China is racing ahead, building offshore wind at a staggering pace and positioning itself to dominate the global clean energy economy for decades to come. None of this is America First. nytimes.com/2026/03/17/cli…

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business copes with more bad inflation data "Thesssseeee numbers are much hotter than expected, guys ... this is not good"

wow! Rand Paul begins Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing by confronting him about comments Mullin made describing Paul as a "freakin' snake" and "celebrating" Paul getting assaulted "I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force"

WELP—As result of all NIH grants requiring RFK Jr and White House approval… we now have 90% less funding for medical research. We are sacrificing our children’s future — all for what???

Why don’t you tell me these things?

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.
