China is using folding mobile photovoltaic power stations, long strips of solar panels that unfold to quickly generate electricity, bringing clean power to construction sites, disaster zones, and remote areas.

Seeing Black ICE agents doesn't sit right with my spirit.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

It really isn’t clear at all why climate change has faded as an issue in American politics.

Former NATO Commander drops a brutal reality check. He says Trump is completely trapped. He either has to launch an inconceivable massive land invasion of Iran, or declare a fake victory and walk away utterly humiliated. There is no winning this war.

ICE violently detain father legally working in U.S.—injure daughter's leg & rip out her nose piercing. "I told them that I was a U.S. citizen," she said. "We don't care," agents retort. "That doesn't matter. Agents were "dressed in everyday clothing"—and refused to show ID. Father was then put in a white van and taken to an unknown location—his family still can't be sure who took him or where. Rutilio Rosales is living legally in the U.S. with a work visa—that doesn't expire until 2029. He was simply attending to a routine traffic violation at the Wilson County Courthouse in Lebanon, Tennessee.
