Pratt's campaign is a giant grift to make $$$ off of a reality show. Supporters of Pratt are just easy marks. 70 million plus Americans voted for reality show goon with no government experience to run the country and look at what it brought us. High inflation, slow economic growth, low consumer confidence, massive federal debt, massive kleptocratic fraud, and a stupid unnecessary war that has diminished America's standing in the world and alienated our allies. Say no to reality stars running anything except their mouths on social media and bad tv shows. tmz.com/2026/05/14/spe…

@heyitsmeCarolyn @daveweigel You mendacious plutocrats deserve whatever misery will result in your life if Pratt is elected.

Grammy award winner, David Foster and his wife Katharine McPhee held a fundraiser for Spencer Pratt!

The massive Utah data center, called the Stratos Project, will be as big as 2,000 Walmarts, will need 9GW of electricity to run, and will generate the heat equivalent of 23 atom bombs detonating every single day in Hansel Valley. The expected impact of wildlife is catastrophic. sltrib.com/news/environme…

Top 10 reasons why Democrats need to talk about climate change now: 🧵

California is showing the world a top 5 economy can grow AND be green! “For the first time, California discharged just over 12,000 MWs, equivalent to 12 large nuclear plants, of energy from its battery arrays. That’s enough to meet over 40% of the state’s energy demand.” “More than 60 percent of the state’s electricity generation came from carbon-free sources last year.”

New paper: What did the IRA do to clean energy? And what does OBBBA change? Here's what 3 years of data and 11 models say: - $729B in clean energy investment (+92%) - Battery manufacturing up 8x - Solar investment up 87% - Wind investment DOWN 42% - ZEV purchases: $252B (+173%)

Jigar Shah's thesis: clean energy won't be won by 5 giants. It'll take a million companies doing $10M/year. Looking back now — that's exactly how it played out.

This is a must read on AI by @JimVandeHei: “Think of this as the dawn of a new Atomic Age.”

“Solar and batteries will comprise 80% of grid capacity additions this year”. Keep this in mind. The White House may not support the lowest cost sources of energy but energy investors still do. pv-magazine.com/2026/04/28/sol…

Immigrants generate more income and taxes than the average US-born person, Cato’s @David_J_Bier reports. From 1994 to 2023, immigrants generated roughly $100,000 more in taxes per capita than the average US-born person—about 17% more over the entire period. ow.ly/pFek50YKFMx

Harvard University is offering a FREE online course on the US Constitution! Understanding our Constitution has rarely been more important. Enroll in a free, short, engaging online course. HarvardX: American Government: Constitutional Foundations | edX edx.org/learn/governme…

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

NEWS: Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration "It's an extinction-level event for science". The US government is proposing massive cuts to almost every branch of science, from NASA to the National Institutes of Health. NSF would completely eliminate the social, economic and behavioral sciences directorate. This would decimate the world's leading scientific system. nature.com/articles/d4158…

💰 Cities are not waiting for federal grants to fund climate action. @c40cities' new Municipal Finance Playbook shows how to build long-term climate financing into local governance — from utility rates to bonds to public-private partnerships. c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Muni…

This is so obscene.

🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened.. the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.." the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran.. the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data.. think about the timing.. America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile.. they walked through the front door of the FBI.. and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it.. the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules.. The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

A widespread transition to renewable energy could mitigate a major cause of international conflict in a future that moves away from fossil fuels, energy and climate change experts told ABC News. Read more: abcnews.link/Jb4QZLu
