“But for the sake of the American republic, we need to end this one politically. We need to defeat the apparatus of Trump, Trumpism, and their financial sponsors so soundly at the ballot box that the ideology itself becomes toxic.” open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent.

In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country.

I did not know about this kind of insidious pricing. Thank you for highlighting it!

He and Kegseth and Steroid RFK Jr … 🫤

I hope in their next lives these people have nobody but each other to talk at endlessly

I hope decent prosecutors are taking notes - lots and lots of notes

Whose billion? I’d leave my share of that billion in the wind farm

Hope he will be wandering madly in the wilderness soon, accompanied only by JD Vance

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025.

They have seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts.
