As a Canadian I already know the Democrats will not reverse this madness. I may never visit the United States again.
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

Except she clearly doesn't give a single solitary shit because she's a white supremacist. You can see it in her dead eyes. Like trying to confront Eichmann.
this was a really powerful approach to questioning noem—bringing the actual people impacted by her reign of terror. from her perch it's easy to see these cases as abstractions but she needs to be confronted with them at every turn.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

I saw a first-hand photo, of a friend's demolished house, taken two weeks after October 7. It wasn't on TikTok. It didn't need to be. But not everyone knows people in Gaza and of course, the world would see the genocide, even if the censors didn't want us to.

During my PhD i kept coming across this number about the maximum grid penetration for renewables.
So, I started to dig. Tracing back what references I could. Never found a single analytical or empirical basis for it. It appeared to have sprung from thin air based on some engineers' intuition.

People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers.
Anyway, about China ...
