1. Wind and solar both keep me up at night, but for opposite reasons. Solar works and is winning the global race, Britain simply sits too far north to benefit. Britain is betting on wind instead, yet wind lacks the very traits that makes solar work.

This one is burned into my brain

Shooting ourselves in the foot again. You can’t say your goal is “energy dominance” and then throw a bunch of procedure & red tape at the fastest growing sources of energy generation in the country.

re: tariff inflation discourse, it's worth mentioning again that if tariffs *don't* raise prices, then there's no way they "incentivize" domestic production The mechanism by which they're supposed to re-shore industry is by increasing prices for imported goods and reducing trade

It is a major policy failure that the US cannot accommodate top AI conferences due to visa issues.

All I can say is Hell. Yeah. If Congress appropriates $100M to the Army’s Chief of Engineers & gave him a border fence-style waiver from any law in the way, Statute of Liberty can be cleaned up by July 4. It’d prove that the govt can still get shit done.

We should clean the Statue of Liberty and unveil its shiny color on July 4th next year for the 250th anniversary of American independence 🇺🇸

Couldn't find any record of this Molotov quote being real. But it is very similar to what Yeltsin said in 1989 after visiting a very normal supermarket in Houston: "During the flight, Yeltsin was in a state of shock regarding the grocery store and remained speechless for a long time. According to Sukhanov, it was during the flight that 'the last vestige of Bolshevism collapsed inside' Yeltsin. Following his silence, Yeltsin asked aloud, 'What have they done to our people?', questioning the Soviet Union's struggles with food. Yeltsin commented that if people in the Soviet Union were aware of the quality of the average American grocery store, 'there would be a revolution', further saying that 'Even the Politburo doesn't have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev.'"

I’m telling you it works
