"Between this and a $5 billion rate increase FPL won in 2021, the average FPL customer will wind up paying hundreds of dollars more each year for electricity than they were five years ago."
@jasongarcia.bsky.social does an excellent job explaining the latest and largest FPL rate hike.

Florida just approved the largest electric rate increase in history. Here's how it happened.
Florida Power & Light won permission last week to raise electricity rates by $7 billion over the next four years. Here's why it's so big, how FPL pulled it off, and who should be held accountable.

We talked about this in my class. People (& lenders!) need to have credible information about climate risk to their homes. However the way it is done right now, if at all, has lots of uncertainty. A home could be categorized as low-risk when it’s high risk, & vice versa! NOAA should do this service.
Realtors know that, in many parts of the country, if you educate people about climate risk, the housing market will collapse.

The Nazis used the term "Lying Press" (Lügenpresse) to discredit and censor all dissenting media, simultaneously targeting journalists, and seizing, and giving their political allies control of news outlets to crush any opposition.
Just mentioning that now for no reason at all.

I believe this is what lawyers would call consciousness of guilt.
On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

Fun fact: The only reason we have the ACA is because politicians on both sides opposed universal health care because their donors own their asses & Blk ppl would also get it
