An obit on the obits section of the @washingtonpost feels particularly poignant as Jeff Bezos is killing the paper. Even if it survives, there’s little point in reading it anymore. And, yeah, I’m bitter.

American drivers and the US auto industry is being twice screwed; tariffs are making ALL cars more expensive and investment in EVs to help compete vs China are gutted. Say goodbye to 🇺🇸🚙 industry as we know it. (Also, Tesla is getting clobbered).
So much for cheaper U.S.-made cars. One of the biggest U.S. car manufacturers is raising its prices after already laying off workers, all thanks to Trump's tariffs.

Three pages in small font of all the @washingtonpost staff who have left over the last eight months. Reminds me of the Rocky Mountain News’ death spiral when I did comms in Colorado. No one gives a shit, but what an utter failure by Bezos.
Politico has compiled a list of people who've left The Washington Post over the last eight months or so. It's three pages long.

American oil and gas workers realizing, like everyone else, they’re getting screwed by Trump.
Honestly oil guys how are we feeling about 47? He has hammered our industry, grown the debt and deficit, not ended any wars, kept Iranian oil flowing, not gotten any rate cuts, launched an unnecessary trade war (embarrassingly backed down after realizing China had “the cards”).

“Drill baby drill” and “energy dominance” are pretty hollow words when a stupid, costly trade policy depresses demand and the rig count in the US keeps dropping.

First US nuclear plant opened under Ike, most recent under Biden. Funding 🚀 thx to Infrastructure Law and IRA … so what in the world does this even mean @SecretaryWright?.
Nuclear energy is a REALITY thanks to President Trump.

Under Trump and the GOP Congress grocery prices AND electricity prices are soaring.

Average costs have risen around 6 percent since January, official data shows.

The reaction one has when you swallow the WH press release but don’t actually understand what the Trump Admin is doing ….
The Trump White House is explicitly signaling its alignment with the abundance movement. When it comes to energy, seems like there’s very little difference between MAGA prescriptions and Thompson/Yglesias prescriptions. Profoundly horrible.

🚨🚨Electricity prices hit record high in PJM operator of the largest electricity market in the US. Failure of the operator to sufficiently plan is big problem. Harbinger of future for US. @GovernorShapiro and @GovWesMoore leading the fight to fix it.

Blow for Trump’s vow of lower prices as grid operator PJM forced to pay 10% more to meet soaring energy needs

Nuclear is a key part of @MikieSherril plan for reliable energy in NJ. Our @ThirdWayEnergy team is ready to help!
Third, we need a reliable source of electricity generation that can meet our state’s need for decades to come – and that’s nuclear power. I’ll work with neighboring states to harness economies of scale and expand safe nuclear power capacity in New Jersey at a low cost, which will.

Infuriating how much @wmata has fucked up the “Better Bus” overhaul. Much longer routes, less direct, less frequent. Just wait to DC schools return and kids find out there’s no more direct bus routes.

Metro’s 'Better Bus Network' overhaul has been anything but smooth since its June 29 launch.

China dominating clean tech, +10% of its GDP and 1.5% of global emissions ⬇️. A massive own goal by the US. Both countries saw this future. 🇨🇳 seized it, 🇺🇸 was paralyzed by partisan BS and interest group politics. We’re gonna pay economically and geopolitically for this failure.

While the immigrants who helped develop the US space program Miller refers to weren’t “illegal,” hundreds of them were in fact former Nazis, including several war criminals.

Project Paperclip was a program that brought German and Austrian engineers, scientists, and technicians to the United States after the end of World War II in Europe.
MILLER: If you look at photos of the Empire State Building being built, you don’t see any illegal aliens. When you look at the photos of the NASA control room during the moon landing, you don’t see any illegal aliens. Americans built, sustained, and powered this country for two

The US govt is at its best when it stands for the interest of the American people as balance vs the power of wealthy individuals and companies. EPA scientists are on the frontline of this effort. We and our country will be worse off for this stupid, self-inflicted wound.
Breaking News: The EPA said it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of scientists, after denying that it intended to do so.

Hot take: If ya can’t appreciate time in a place that does things different than you’re used to, that’s on you, not them.
Hot take: Europe is a bunch of third-world countries with better branding. No A/C. No dryers. Ice is a luxury. You’ll sweat through dinner while the waiter ignores you for 2 hours. Say what you want about America, but at least eating out doesn’t feel like hot yoga with bread.

This by @lxeagle17 is so important. People are repelled by the “save the planet” call to action, especially when paired with “transformation” that requires you to spend💰 to rip out your gas appliances, buy an EV, let a utility control your electricity use.
We're not in 2005 any longer. The clean energy technologies available to us are just so much better. For instance, half of the commentariat seems to think that "solar power" = an energy system useless after sunset. Meanwhile, consumers know battery storage has changed the game.
