Turning the fastest-growing sources of electricity into a culture war issue is really dumb and self-defeating. “The answer is not to cede the technological advantage to America’s most powerful adversary. It is to compete so that the U.S. can regain its edge.”

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.

Yeonsoo Go, a 20‑year‑old Purdue University student, went into what she thought was a routine visa hearing in New York. When she walked out, ICE agents were waiting. She was arrested on the spot and sent to a detention center in Louisiana. 1/n

2/ She’s the daughter of an Episcopal priest. A woman of faith. A student trying to build her future. Instead of due process, she’s trapped in a system designed to terrify and dehumanize.

3/ What troubles me even more: many of the same Christian communities now rallying for her release voted for the very government that put her behind bars. A government that has made cruelty toward immigrants not a glitch, but a feature.

4/ As Christians, we can’t have it both ways. We can’t praise the Good Samaritan on Sunday and then endorse policies that criminalize the stranger on Monday.

5/ We can’t claim to follow a Savior who Himself was a refugee - and then cheer for leaders who cage and deport.

6/ If faith means anything, it must mean standing with the vulnerable before they are dragged away in handcuffs.

7/ This isn’t just about one student at my alma mater. It’s about whether our faith communities will repent of enabling injustice - or continue to be complicit in it.

Donald Trump and ICE aren’t going after violent criminals.    They’re going after people like Javier Diaz Santana — a deaf 32-year-old DACA recipient working at a car wash. ICE confiscated his ID and phone, and handcuffed him so he had no way to communicate.    Don’t tell me the

Republicans spent years calling Democrats “groomers,” and banning drag shows to “protect kids,” and now 47% of them would support a pedophile.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

The Trump Administration is waging an all-out war against wind power in the United States, attempting to effectively ban a resource that provides over 1 in 10 kilowatt-hours nationwide and is a critical source of new supply required to meet surging demand.

In the last week, a series of executive orders & agency actions have: 1. De facto banned wind & solar on federal lands; 2. Directed FAA to critically evaluate once-routine approvals for turbines; 3. Issued nationwide 1.2 mile setback from all railroads or highways; and 4.

Solar, wind, and batteries are the only energy resources that can get built in the next 5 years. The Trump admin is at war with the first two, and is especially hobbling wind power.

To me, all of this raises the importance of a bipartisan Congressional permitting reform bill that contains executive branch discretion to deny routine permits for American energy resources (yes, of all kinds). Biden bans offshore oil & gas, Obama rejects Keystone XL. Trump bans

Project Warpspeed was probably the most consequential and unqualified success of Trump's first term, and mRNA vaccines one of the most exciting medical advances of the 21st century. But this time, Trump 2.0's anti-vax HHS Secretary (Kennedy) is cancelling all federal funding for

It’s astounding that any serious person thinks MAGA cares about merit. RFK is trying hard to rival his boss when it comes to sheer number of lies and whacky made up junk.

Data revisions are a normal, necessary part of trying to measure a $30 trillion economy in real time. They can also be jarring, especially for people who don't obsessively scrutinize every jobs report. So I dug into the how and why of revisions. A few big takeaways:

60 years after the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, our right to vote is still under attack — whether it’s Trump’s power grabs over state election systems or Republicans’ redistricting efforts in Texas.  Our right to vote is not guaranteed unless we are willing to fight to
