At current electricity prices, about half of residential heating in the US would be *more expensive* with heat pumps than with gas. If we want heat pumps to spread—and we do—we badly need to reduce the price of electricity. (That's true for electrification generally.)
Decarbonizing residential space heating with heat pumps in the United States

Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED.

Whether it’s Hillary Clinton losing $20,000 on a land deal in Arkansas or Donald Trump taking billions of dollars in oil revenue from Venezuela and stashing it in a secret bank account in Qatar, both candidates are guilty of some shady financial dealings.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting.
Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

I know votes on legislative packages often involve cross-cutting considerations, and members of Congress will have to weigh those. But if I were a member of Congress, I don’t believe I could vote for any appropriation bill that funded DHS without requiring changes in ICE and CBP practices.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

Conducting immigration enforcement doesn't mean you execute American citizens in the street.
Yet DHS is already lying about what we can all see with our own eyes.
Since Kristi Noem won't, state governments everywhere will need to hold out-of-control federal agents accountable.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

One wild thing I never see discussed very often is the fact that real gas prices in the USA are substantially lower than they were 15-20 years ago. That’s crazy. If gasoline merely tracked with inflation that would be a huge boost to the EV industry
