@Tesla_GTownTX @teslaenergy @Tesla @baglino @elonmusk I used to get 100% spot price from GreenMountain energy, but they and the power companies in TX got the laws changed. Understood there is a $5 rate max allowed on spot, so the electric company keeps the difference. Also, understand that Tesla takes a 20% cut off the spot price

Don’t forget: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Amid the desperate attempts by Fox News and its subsidiary, the Republican Party, to insist that Biden's true claims about GOP efforts to cut Medicare and Social Security are false, worth remembering some history 1/

A new bill proposed in Montana wants to limit the science curriculum in school and ban scientific theories. This could prevent teachers from doing lessons on evolution theory and cell theory. How can you educate people without teaching them theories?

You shouldn’t have to pay an extra $50 to sit next to your child on the plane, pay a surprise “resort fee” for a hotel stay, pay $200 to terminate your cable plan, or pay huge service fees to buy concert tickets.

It’s time for Congress to pass the Junk Fee Prevention Act.

So You Wanna Reduce the Debt? Tax the Wealthy Like We Used To https://t.co/NYfprK8wPm

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the debt ceiling, remember that approximately 25% of the total national debt was incurred during the Trump administration.

The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Any Member of Congress who has traded stock on the basis of inside information should be prosecuted.

Proud to once again cosponsor @RepSpanberger legislation to ban member trading. Thanks, Abigail, for leading this effort.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

This is absolutely staggering. Just listen to how @RepAdamSchiff learned exactly what #KevinMcCarthy is made of. If it doesn’t turn your stomach, you’re made of sterner stuff than me.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

It’s going to be a great week for @GOPLeader. And by “great” I mean an endless series of humiliations, degradations, and MAGA-induced torture leading to - at best - a Phyrric victory in which he’s a gimp for the MAGA Troll Caucus.

Store Clerk: "Do you need validation?"

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

Worthless @GovAbbott dropping off people with no money and no means on Christmas Eve in 15 degree weather near the VP’s residence. How Christian of you, Greg Abbott. Being a heartless POS isn’t going to make you the next Republican President.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Absolutely right. @GovAbbott is unspeakably disgusting. Texans who voted for him over @BetoORourke should look in the mirror and then do serious penance, including finding genuine ways to help the people Abbott’s inhumanity victimizes.

Despite all of her angry tweets about the Omnibus bill and Zelenskyy, Marjorie Taylor Greene was caught fleeing the country to Costa Rica for vacation earlier this week. She voted by proxy, despite introducing a bill to ban proxy voting earlier this year. https://t.co/yydHYbVYxf

Boy is this guy headed for doom. He's *deep* in with the traitors.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Americans are facing elevated prices at the grocery store. One of the reasons? Giant corporations have been using inflation as cover to abuse their market power and jack up prices for consumers. We need to crack down on corporate price gouging.
