North Dakota-the state where this guy was governor-gets 40% of its electricity from low-cost wind power But then he organized half a billion dollars in oil industry contributions to Trump's 2024 campaign, and got himself a WH job Now their profits are ⬆️ & your energy bill is⬆️
Burgum to CNBC: "The intermittent sources, the unreliable and expensive sources like solar and wind -- you don't know when the wind's gonna blow, we do know when the sun is gonna shine and it's not 24 hours a day."

Correct! It is unstoppable, because clean tech is now cost competitive. It now is always cleaner than fossil fuels. It is now often cheaper and soon will always be lower cost. https://t.co/tZkA6xNQGy

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed. @Pulte can do the right thing and resign. And if merit matters, he'll be fired.
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not.

Electricity costs are rising. The question is by how much, and why? I spoke with the Jasons on WFAA's Y'allitics Podcast about the risk of much higher electricity bills in Texas. The numbers are striking: ⚡ After the elimination of tax credits, models show residential bills in

Any Biden or Harris aide complaining right now about each other is not helping 1. Democrats nor 2. Themselves. Please log off.
New: Bidenworld explodes at Harris over the book excerpt after years of simmering tensions. "Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job," said one former Biden White House official. "She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration's key work

Sponsored by Häagen-Dazs. The @haagendazs_us booth at Family Style LA was too chill! Attendees got to relax and enjoy four new Belgian Waffle Cone flavors. See how it all went down.

The new wave of millennial candidates - James Talarico, Graham Platner, Zohran Mamdani, Zach Wahls, Mallory McMorrow, & more - can redefine the Democratic Party in their collective image: values-driven, voters-first, unafraid to fight systems that no longer serve us, & with joy.

I am saddened to record this. I am a better man for having known my friend @charliekirk11, just as this country is better for his work. Charlie had a curious mind and wanted to improve it. He sought to know the basic things of this Earth and how they reach to Heaven, where he

Governor Newsom, Governor Kotek, and I launched a new West Coast Health Alliance today to ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics. The Trump Administration has undermined the independence of the CDC and dismantled its vaccine panel. We're beginning the process

If we wrapped the entire planet in solar, we would produce more power in one HOUR than the world consumes in a YEAR. It's not either/or... its both/and.
Even if you wrapped the entire planet in a solar panel, you would only be producing 20% of global energy. One of the biggest mistakes politicians can make is equating the ELECTRICITY with ENERGY!

Electricity prices are going up because of Donald Trump’s energy policies. Everyone who understands electricity or economics can see they are creating shortages on purpose. And when there’s an unexpected lack of something, the price spikes.

They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
Vance on undermining the Federal Reserve: "I don't think we allow bureaucrats to make decisions about monetary policy and interest rates without any input from the people that were elected to serve the American people...POTUS is much better able to make these determinations."
