Energy secretary called solar "a parasite." That "parasite" is meeting 37.5% of demand on a hot Texas summer day. Did you miss the old days of summertime conservation alerts? If you did, good news! If the big beautiful bill passes, they're coming back!

In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.

The Senate’s version of OBBBA hits poor families even harder than the initial version passed by the House — now the poorest Americans will lose 2.9% of their income while the richest gain 2.2%

They’re wrong. Vaccines don’t cause autism. They just don’t. As the book about my daughter details: 1. Extensive published scientific evidence showing no link 2. Lack of plausibility based on the autism genes in early fetal brain development 3. Brain assembloid studies

But this is simply false: we have half-dozen scientific papers in the best scientific journals on the zoonotic spillover of SARS-2 (COVID) just like SARS-1; zero scientific evidence of lab leak; and Covid vaccines saved 3.2 million American lives with an excellent safety profile

1830s: wood is dominant source of energy so it's the future of energy 1900s: horses are the dominant mode of transport so they're the future of transport 1990s: landline phones and fax machines dominate telecom so they are the future of telecom 2020s version (see below)

Today's "One First" looks at AG Bondi's letters to tech companies purporting to "irrevocably relinquish" their liability for violating the TikTok statute. Parliament repudiated such a royal "dispensing" power in 1689; it has no place in U.S. law, either: stevevladeck.com/p/165-tiktok-a…

NEW: In his first presser after the deadly floods, the Kerr County Judge said they do not have an emergency alert system. But we've learned that not only does the county have such a system, but first responders asked that it be triggered very early Friday AM. Some residents

We have been mapping and studying the known flood risks at Camp Mystic. It turns out that not only was the camp in a flood zone, some cabins were located in areas that local county officials had deemed “extremely hazardous.” Here is more of what we found. 🧵 1/9

This is the best piece that I've read about the Hill Country floods. This is the piece that broke me. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

the TX GOP is redrawing the congressional map so houston voters won't be able to elect democrats to represent them houston: you can speak at the public hearing saturday 7/26 at 11am University of Houston Main Campus 4455 University Drive Student Center, Houston Room (Room 220)

imagine the texas legislature having 30 days to pass flooding & emergency alert legislation in the immediate aftermath of an unspeakable tragedy AND redraw the congressional map for 31 million people and still thinking hmmmmmm seems like a good time for a bathroom bill

Just speaking out in favor of diversity is now enough for the Trump Justice Department to open an investigation, as the faculty senate at George Mason University has found out. Vimal Patel nytimes.com/2025/07/28/us/…

Me on the factually misleading and analytically ridiculous complaint DOJ has filed against Chief Judge Boasberg—and the dangerousness of DOJ trying to undermine public confidence in the only institution that has been effective at checking President Trump: stevevladeck.com/p/170-dojs-rid…

The EPA cited my paper in their argument against the endangerment finding today. However, their point is completely backwards: my paper actually supports the EPA's 2009 range of 1.8C to 4C warming by 2100. nature.com/articles/d4158…

The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. For a full statement opposing this move, read: friendsofbls.org/updates/2025/8…

Nonsense. The deception is from Mr. Kennedy’s HHS ignoring 1) overwhelming data showing no vaccine-autism link, 2) a detailed role of autism genes in neurodevelopment, 3) brain assembloid studies, 4) the role of some chemical exposures interacting with autism genes in pregnancy
