Absolutely nothing against Mr. Becerra. My thought is he still seeing this as a normal political times. It’s not. Monopolies creating billionaires that buy politicians and the process. We need a leader that will change laws on monopolies like PG&E and stop the rubber stamp to the Utility board.

Hey, journalists!

Could you do us all a favour?

Fact check Donald Trump BEFORE you quote him.

Then, if he's lying, we don't need the quote. A simple statement "Donald Trump lied again" will do.

Save us all a LOT of time - you don't have to write a lot of nonsense, we don't have to read it.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

Alex Jones is truly one of the most evil people alive. He's lucky he lives in an era where the punishment for behavior like his is losing your website and not thumbscrews.

The Grande Dame of the Epstein Files Peggy Siegal, once the most powerful publicist in New York, defends herself.

Nymag.com ran a story on Peggy Siegal - a good window into how NY high society works and socializes. Absolutely disgusting and abhorrent.

He’s channeling his base when he uses vulgar language. Trouble is, AOC’s response, which is logical and beautifully put together, will never reach his base because they have a different value system - and that’s the divide in today’s America - we have divergent value systems and not just two.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

A very astute and deep political insight, put across in a very clear yet sophisticated language.

Who’s prosecuting? Yep, no one.

So Arteta’s stoic demeanor isn’t an expression of some inner mastermind, it’s just noise

He is being honest. The constituency amongst the American voters who care for Ukraine is weaker and more dispersed than the constituency that supports Israel and hates Muslims. Political calculation says fund Israel, defund Ukraine. Yes, you will piss off progressives but MAGA don’t care.
