That could be US exports if the Orange Doofus wasn’t destroying US EV capacity so his corrupt fossil fuel donors can sell more gasoline.

This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war— we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water.
Equipment taxpayers already bought and paid for, removed right as record temperatures and a possible collapse of Atlantic currents have scientists alarmed. There is no savings analysis. The gear is already paid for. And the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea, destroying the only tools that could measure the damage.
They are smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.
140 police officers were injured on January 6. Last week, the Trump Administration deleted the government’s own prosecution records documenting what happened to them and called those records “partisan propaganda.”
Those records documented rioters who drove stun guns into the necks of Capitol Police officers, dragged officers into the mob, and beat officers with flagpoles. They documented guilty pleas, jury verdicts, and sentences of seven, ten, and twelve years.
Trump pardoned every one of them. Now he’s trying to erase the record of what they did from the history books.

The breakthrough drug that has doubled pancreatic cancer survival time, was borne out of years of hard work and investment
Much of it at the NIH, which has now had funding slashed by RFK Jr and Co in favour of pointless pseudoscientific quackery which will lead to nothing
A subpoenaed witness was allowed to appear voluntarily.
No oath. No cameras. “I don’t recall” on repeat.
And when we asked about Donald Trump and his administration, DOJ attorneys stepped in to shut it down.
This wasn’t a hearing. It was structured to shield the truth.
By June 1, 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre had left behind the devastation of a deliberate assault on Black life, Black excellence, and Black progress.
Too often in this nation, Black advancement has been met with backlash, violence, erasure, and policy designed to pull back what had been gained. We saw it after Reconstruction, when Black civic participation was answered with terror, disenfranchisement, and the rise of Jim Crow. We saw it in places like Colfax, Wilmington, Elaine, and Tulsa. And 105 years later, we still see echoes of that pattern when voting rights are weakened, DEI is dismantled, truth is resisted, and efforts to widen opportunity are attacked.
Remembering June 1, 1921 also means telling the truth about what comes after progress in America. It means staying vigilant, organized, and unwilling to let backlash have the final word.

Tina Peters is a felon.
She propped up Trump’s Big Lie, was convicted by a jury of Coloradans, and has shown no remorse for her crimes.
She should not be walking free.
NEW: By tomorrow, expect a wave of efforts by Senate Democrats to HALT Trump $1.7 billion slush fund
They'd force GOP to defend -- or spike -- a taxpayer-funded treasure chest for convicted criminals
And they know the fund isn't popular with GOP
I talked w/ @MSNOWNews ===>
The same people who beat police officers and attacked the Capitol were pardoned by Trump — and now he wants taxpayers to cut them a check.
Every American should be outraged.
I mean who needs international collaboration that drives major advances in areas like infectious disease, cancer, AI, physics, and climate science anyway? 💀
