Another example of why I’m skeptical at reports of lower GHG emissions in 2026 @JesseJenkins

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.

Blocking wind power drives up electricity rates. American consumers pay the price. This administration has already spent billions in tax dollars killing wind projects we'd already invested in, while electric bills keep climbing across the country.
My Energy Bills Relief Act with Sean Casten is a real plan to bring working families relief from high energy costs by expanding the cleanest energy, which is also among the most affordable. If the President truly wants to lower bills for working families, he should support our bill.
RIP to Stacy Keech. He was great in everything (Cheech & Chong, Mike Hammer, American Greed, The Blue & The Gray), et al.

Study: EVs displacing 1.2 million barrels of oil demand a day, up 5X in 5 years share.google/bCtJZtNMNd4MYqk…
That compares to about 100 million barrels per day of global demand. Two wheeled EVs (scooters, e bikes) displace another million+ barrels/day if I recall correctly.

Wow, the Nvidia story, and the Trump regime’s complicity keeps getting worse and worse. I gifted this article. It’s quite a read!
“* Nvidia's general counsel, Tim Teter, intervened in a US government probe of suspected smuggling of Al chips by Megaspeed International, questioning whether the Trump administration played a role in detaining an executive from the firm.
• Teter called Commerce Under
Secretary Jeffrey Kessler to ask about the Megaspeed investigation and specifically about the detention of Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive, by the Singapore government.”

A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:

This is Enron level fraud. Nvidia pumping sales by selling to fictious entities
BREAKING: The US Commerce Dept was approving sales of Nvidia, $NVDA, chips to companies in China which either did not exist, were on the sanctions list, and/or had ties to China's military, per NYT

Nobody is calling Bill Gates a climate change denier. But his words and actions justify *delay*. See my @Nature commentary "Bill Gates’s climate comments are a dangerous distraction"
I find myself in a strange situation. I agree with e.g. @BjornLomborg and @BillGates that human welfare should take priority over climate targets. Malaria nets save far more people than electric vehicles. If that makes me a climate change denier (which I'm not!) so be it.

An 8-year-old boy—living with his uncle after his father was deported—showed up for a scheduled immigration appointment because his family wanted to follow the law. ICE took him into federal custody and separated him from his family. This is the cruelty of mass deportation and the Trump administration’s immigration policy. It violates our values and who we are as a nation. America deserves better.

Yes, this is a sensational story, but put the tabloids aside for a second.
Donald Trump is selling America’s security to our foreign adversaries.
In the spring, Marco Rubio warned senior Trump officials that Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, was involved with a woman U.S. intelligence believed was a Chinese spy, recruited to push for American advanced chips to be made available in China — the exact policy that Jensen Huang was lobbying for in Washington.
Meanwhile, Trump has purchased roughly $6 million in Nvidia stock this year, including a $1 million purchase just a week before Trump’s commerce department approved selling Nvidia chips to China.
So the questions are simple. Who in the Trump Administration knew? When did they know it? And knowing it, why did they keep letting Huang make his case?
This is why an ethics bill that only covers Congress does not meet the moment. The conflicts aren’t confined to one branch. They run through the executive, they run through the agencies writing export rules, and they run through anyone with a financial stake in policy outcomes.
For all three branches of government: ban stock trading; ban prediction markets; ban the foreign gifts and investments, while you serve and for two years after. No exceptions.
America’s security and economic future can no longer afford the pay to play rules that Trump’s Washington runs on today.
